8 Characteristics of a Perfect Gentleman (as explained by ladies)
What
qualities makes a true gentleman? Although times are evolving, a true gentleman
will always remain one. Holly Riordan of Binoni lists the modern qualities that
makes a true gentleman:
Perfect patience: One of the traits of
a true gentleman is patience. Men, sometimes without realizing it, will push
you to be physical. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it can make you
uncomfortable if you’re not ready to move forward. A true gentleman will
understand your desire to wait, and he won’t judge you if you agree to move
fast. He won’t question your morals, and he’ll fully support whatever decision
you make.
Manly manners: When he meets your
parents, you’re not worried about what he’ll say. He’s never inappropriate, so
you won’t spend all of dinner kicking him beneath the table. Of course, he’ll
do some traditional things as well. He’ll pull out your chair for you and hold
open doors. Most importantly, he’ll treat you like you deserve to be treated.
Limits language: Real gentlemen act a
bit differently than princes in Disney films do. He's not going to go around
singing and dancing in order to declare his love for you. Your relationship is
going to be raw and real. Life isn’t a G rated movie and cursing isn’t the end
of the world. If he swears in excitement or anger, let it slide. It’s nothing
to be angry about. Although, if his curses are aimed at you, that’s another
story.
Small sweetness: Please and thank you
are tiny words with a big impact. It’s important for a man--or anyone for that
matter--to show appreciation. Small comments can make someone’s day. Don't you
love when your hair is unexpectedly complimented? Or the way the woman at the
grocery store counter always shares her wisdom? You want your man to be nice to
waiters and to smile at passersby. He’ll be the friendly stranger they wish
they knew, but you’re lucky enough to be with forever.
Keeps calm: Everyone’s allowed to get
angry, but a gentleman handles his annoyance in a serene way. When the highway
is clogged with traffic, he doesn’t give the middle finger to his fellow
drivers. When he’s bothered by his boss, he doesn’t throw out slurs. He knows
how to handle his temper. He doesn’t let his frustration alter his personality.
1) Marvelous morals: He would never take
advantage of a girl. He would never steal. He would never drink and drive. In
other words, he wouldn’t do anything that he believes is wrong. He has strong
morals, so he knows what his limits are.
2) Causes
comfort: He won’t tell inappropriate jokes. He won’t push you to talk about
a subject that unnerves you. He’ll make sure that he’s not doing anything that
would make you uncomfortable. When you’re around him, you’re completely at
ease. Except for the butterflies in your stomach, of course.
3) Open minded: A true gentleman agrees
to disagree and respects other people's opinion. Especially in today's society,
everybody wants to throw in their own two cents and there is nothing worse than
having someone there trying to make you see things the way they see them. A
true man knows how to respect different opinions instead of just selfishly
demanding you to comply to his.
4) Punctuality: One of the most important
characteristics of being a gentleman is having punctuality. There should never
be a time when he makes you wait unless there is a legitimate excuse. A
respectful gentleman will never let his lady wait for him and instead will make
sure to show up five minutes in advance.
5) Appearance: Although appearance is not
a deal breaker, every gentleman knows how to take care of himself and dress for
success each time. Appearance accurately reflects your attitude and your state
of mind, so if he is not put together it is more than likely he is cluttered on
the inside too. In the end it is all about how you present yourself, and every
gentleman knows how to clean up well.
6) Loyalty: Every respected man sticks by
his word and stays true to what he believes in. While at times it can be quite
impossible not to change your mind, a gentleman follows the code of loyalty and
stands by what he believes in. You can trust on him to always be honest with
you and never hurt you on purpose.
7) Ambition: A real gentleman is hard
working, passionate and diligent. He knows what he wants and he is not afraid
to do anything he needs to get it. Every woman finds determination attractive,
it is comforting to know that your man has goals and dreams, and he is not just
going to wait for a miracle to happen.
8) Charm: When you picture a gentleman,
you visualize a charming man with etiquette, morals and hygiene. He is the
perfect balance of a flirt and a respectful man. He knows when to throw in a
humorous comment and when to express his wisdom. His aura is just pleasant to
be around, it's almost addicting!
