Nataly 38 #30 December 22, 2009 Quote Gentleman yes, doormat no. There seem to be a lot of people who really don't understand the difference. Couldn't agree with you more Some people get stuck on a particular behaviour that they wish their partner exhibited and lose sight of reality.. Example: I have been seeing this guy and he never brings me flowers or buys me gifts or does any of the stuff you would normally think of as being "romantic".. But on Sunday he travelled 2 hours on the train with me to check out my new bike, test drive it, etc., and then rode it for 4.5 hours with me behind him to get it back to London.. He must have been absolutely fucking frozen - it's the middle of winter and I noticed when we got home he only had summer gloves on his hands.. When I asked him about it, he simply said he couldn't find his winter gloves anywhere, but he saw how excited I was about getting my first bike and he didn't want me to worry about him so he didn't say anything.. How romantic is that on a scale of 1 to 10?? I give it about a 100!!

warpedskydiver 0 #34 December 22, 2009 I have found that being a gentleman is sometimes viewed as a sign of weakness by women, some really appreciate it though. However I would say that telling a woman exactly how much you love her or how you feel about her is simply enough to fuck things up. YMMV Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christelsabine 1 #35 December 22, 2009 Quote What do you say, ladies? I always hear that I spoil Vskydiver, but I feel pretty spoiled in return. I was raised to open doors, fetch drinks, give up bus seats, etc. Is that still stuff guys should do, or is chivalry dead, thank goodness? Does it really work for us guys? Yes. If it comes along naturally and true (Caution! We do feel it!), you're the winner. Always. dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can be a nice guy but still be a douchebag - it's not the fact that you're nice/polite/loving that is working against you IMO.. It must be something else. Not aiming this comment at anyone in particular, just pointing out that (as has been mentioned before), there IS a difference between being a gentleman and being a doormat."There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkM 0 #37 December 22, 2009 QuoteI have found that being a gentleman is sometimes viewed as a sign of weakness by women, some really appreciate it though. I think it's about the motive behind the behavior. If you're being nice to a girl just because you're like that to all your male and female friends, it's just you being you. If she doesn't like that, then she's doing you a favor by not being interested in you. You'll be much better off with someone that values and returns it. On the other hand, a lot of guys go into nice "I'm such an amazing guy, see?" mode because they want to fuck the girl and they're basically trying to sugar their way into her pants. A lot of women are totally turned off by that. It's actually a pretty dishonest way to approach a relationship. Quote However I would say that telling a woman exactly how much you love her or how you feel about her is simply enough to fuck things up. Depends on when you do it. I mean, there's nothing like the pressure of being put on the spot with someone going "Oh, I totally am into you" when you're still figuring out whether or not you can tolerate their shit. Romance takes time. Let it simmer and heat up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orchid 0 #39 December 22, 2009 Quote What do you say, ladies? ...just mine...and mine alone (personal opinion)! Some may or may not agree with me... I like a guy who makes me feel special, be romantic in the relationship no matter how long you have been together, show me that he care, listens, never be judgmental, plans special things that he & I can do together, when he's with me...BE with me and not look around (roving eyes). I like a guy who can make me feel protected when I'm with him, the way he stands next to me, the way he wraps his arms around me (makes me feel like nothing in the world can harm me). It's nice when a guy looks good, but what's nicer is when he has a heart, wanting to do the right thing for his girl, never wanting to disappoint her, always sharing his world even when it's cloudy, giving a hug and a smile without her have to ask for one. Or even to say "I love you"....those 3 words....never gets old! Now having said that, giving & receiving should come naturally from the heart...the love energy between two souls flowing easily instead of expecting it from one or the other."Love is doing small things with great love."

I agree, and would add that you have to invest yourself emotionally with someone who appreciates you. Otherwise, you can be nice all you want, but you're bound to get hurt. It's about respecting the fact that you shouldn't give your heart to someone who takes it for granted. I know it's easier said than done, but I do think that when you love & respect yourself you have a tendency to naturally surround yourself with good people.. Then when you give your heart to those people it's rewarded in kind."There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
