The Gentleman’s Law

An unspoken law for men to abide by, they cannot go first through a door or do any action when there is a lady present. After the lady has gone, the gentleman follow.
Female 1: oh it’s ok go ahead
Male 1: oh no, ladies first.
Female 1: oh no I insist
Male 1: I cannot, it breaks the gentleman’s law.

Female 1: oh please,
Male 1: I cannot break the law, it makes all us gentlemen feel like crap.

Gentleman-Gigolo Complex

Essentially the antithesis to the Madonna-whore complex where a woman may be sexually attracted to the dominant and agressive "gigolo" but may not see him as an ideal partner or spouse. On the other hand she romantically desires the mellow and submissive "gentleman" to be a husband and father to her children but may not respect him as a man or partner. The "gigolo" may possess dark human traits that are deemed "toxic" or "dangerous" such as Machiavellianism or could simply just be charismatic, masculine, and attractive, as well as being able to sexually satisfy the woman. Meanwhile the gentleman may possibly possess pure traits including sensitivity, emotional intelligence and even leadership qualities and financial success, but may also be shy, non-confrontational, passive-agressive, and submissive which at worst makes him more susceptible to molding and manipulation and may not sexually satisfy the woman.

Gentleman's Rest

A Gentleman's Rest was once used primarily in the Victorian era when clothing was thicker and heavier.
As a Gentleman went about his business, he would find that his more intimate areas would become sweaty.
To avoid chaffing and sweat rash, a Gentleman would go to the 'airing cupboard' (which was a small well ventilated room within the house) to make use of his 'Gentleman's Rest' which consisted of a long stick, atop of which was a decorated shelf.

In America they used to refer to this room as the 'Rest Room' and is where the modern day term originates.
The Gentleman would remove his little Gentleman from his garments and rest himself upon this shelf to air himself out and naturally dry away the sweat.
Common decorations for the 'shelf' include Mermaids, Ophelia's arm, a slender female leg and Persephone's pony-tail.
Though popular at the time, only a known handful have survived to this day and are highly collectible in the art world and is commonly confused in its appearance with that of the common walking stick.

The earliest known example dates back to 1874 and whilst it is in poor condition it is still a beautiful piece.
