are you a gentleman?
recently I had a very funny conversation with my friends about what it requires to be a gentleman. One of my friend than was outing himself: he went to a gentleman-seminar. wow. he knew all the facts… ok.. here we go….
for being a gentleman, man must have three particular features. One must be able to
a) ride
b) fence and
c) play the piano
in order to be a gentleman.
So, these rules I guess are a little bit outdated. Even though I´d like to meet a man capable of this, lets play fair.
Instead of riding a horse, let the present gentleman have a car. A really good one, we don´t fall in love with knights riding on a donkey.
Second, you guys don´t need to fence any more. Kung-fu, muay thai or just simple boxing is enough to show off and protect us.
Last, the piano, thaz a classy. Still I know many guys learn the guitar to lull off their adoreès.
So, car, judo and guitar for being a gentleman? Maybe, but just in theory. for real life women often don´t need a hero anymore, they´re themselves pretty tough. And I´d rather hop on your bike than sit in some super-expensive car with some super-boring gentleman. The guitar? Pop in a karaoke cd, you can sing playback. or sing yourself, thaz much sweeter (even when it sounds really terrible
Just open the door for us, write us little stupid love notes amd surprise us with the wild flowers you picked in the very early morning. Show us you care, we love that. That makes you a real gentleman.

shouldn’t ‘being able to dance’ also rank among the most important features of a gentleman??
