i was sat thinking that ive only ever been out on a few "dates" in my lifetime. Ive met people while out and kinda fallen into a loose relationship or met via swinging.
this got me to thinking has being a gentleman disapeared ??
im a independent woman and i am happy to pay my way, thats not what im talking about but.. let me define what i mean here using the word gentleman...
they would turn up on time, dressed and smelling nice, open doors for the lady, car dors , seats out etc.
so men, is it that when you meet a woman via swinging you feel they dont deserve the curtosey of having a door opened, or that you think they would be offended if you did this?
do you act differently when socially meeting re swinging than if you were on a date?
women, is it just the guys im meeting or am i being old fashioned expecting this?
would you be offended if a man opened a door for you?
and slight side track , but am i the only one to feel moloncholy about the days when men wore shirts and ties and aftershave? i go out these days and no one seems to dress up to go out anymore?
maybe im just getting old

sorry for the spelling mistakes
I love being around gentlemen, who, despite me being capable of looking after myself, will insist on doing things like walking me "home" at night etc. In fact, somehow the fact they know I don't need them too makes it somehow even nicer :thumbup:
It depends what circles you move in. It still goes on, but it needs both the gentleman and the lady who knows how to reciprocate the behaviour.
If a guy puts himself out and is rewarded with a 'okay, but I didn't ask you to do that!'. He is often put off being a gent.
So for the game to work both sides need to do the right thing in the protocol. Its nice to see it done well, but dissapointing if it is not.
i like a jentleman to do jentlemanly things (not on about paying) but dont find so many about
Manners are evrything and cost nothing.
Christ how many time during cunnilingus have i swallowed that little ball of tissue to save hurt feelings.
I do it once in a while, not everytime I must say.
maybe I should try and do it more often

Compliments & holding doors open seem natural to me although some may find this odd: I'm not a doormat.
The last time I wore a suit to go out socially I was ridiculed (by a woman) for being uptight; I wore it because I felt good in it & told her so.
Times and behaviours have changed but I prefer to act courteously so that I am treated couteously in social and swinging situations.
I always remember this...
A male and a female are approaching the same door. The male quickens his step so he gets there first and opens the door for the female.
She says "I hope you're not doing that because I'm a woman". He says "no ma'am, I'm doing it because I'm a gentleman"
The age of chivalry is deffo not dead!
I always open doors for ladies.
I always dress smart.
I always smell clean and fresh.
I always treat ladies as ladies.
I feel that when you first go out with a lady the man should pay, once you settle into a relationship I think it is fair for the lady and gent to go dutch.
I went out last week for my birthday and a lady friend INSISTED on paying for everything, I must admit I felt uncomfortable with this and made her promise that on her birthday she would let ME pay for everything.

I dread having to open a door / car door for a lady - my mother always made me do it for her when I was a child and it really damaged me.
Plim :shock:
i think gentlemen are a dying breed, but there are still a few out there. i like to think i was one. when it comes to meeting people in and outside the swinging enviorment, ive tried to act as a gent, as i feel this is the only way to be.. and when it comes to datign, i am kind of old fashioned... i do hold the doors open. if i'm sharing a bottle of wine, i'll make sure it is i that tops up the glass.. etc.
next time i'm down that way visiting family, i'll have to take you out and be your Gent for the evening. you'll have to pick the venue, as i only know of about 3 places, and there all in Bodmin.
manners cost nothing !! ive been to just a few socials and met some amzing freindly ppl really genuine , There are some good guys out there !As for smelling nice dressing nice well god knows why they dont there loss not yours , xx
