Do you want your man to be gentle in the old fashioned way? Photo by Viktor Hanacek
How gentle would you want your man to be? Personally I believe that kindness and tact are some of the most important personal qualities we may have (both men and women).
But at the same time I will soon feel awkward, if I am expected to be gentleman-like in the old way, that is, to pull out chairs, hold doors, etc .. In general I am not very comfortable with traditional gender roles.
So from my point of view a modern gentleman is not upholding old fashioned values and gender specific norms of behaviour, but he is a true gentleman when he is loving, kind and considerate.
It is said very well in the simple advice I once got from a girl who did not like my behaviour: “Be nice!”
What do you say? 🙂 ♥
