Something that is very rare in today's world. A gentleman is a man (yes, folks, a MAN) who will normally open doors for a lady and generally be quite nice and polite.

the most noble of all qualities of a man. being a gentleman means being courteous, gallant, chivalrous, selfless, kind, friendly, well mannered, ethical, and of strong moral fiber.

a man should strive to be a gentleman for the betterment of women, not to attract women. (don't expect to attract women just because you are a gentleman, or expect recognition for your behaviour, or you're simply a poseur)

pretending to be a gentleman in an attempt to get women is looked down upon
Bob always holds doors for others, offers friends rides if they need to get somewhere, doesnt curse in the presence of a lady, never speaks ill of others, and is general a gentleman.

Not to many people know the meaning of gentalmen now. But a simple way is a person who cares about others more than there own well being.

Many get confused that you have to have a good upbring or always have to be polite.But it's just the little things (like in the example) to make someone less in pain or feel good.

Note: Anyone CAN be a gentleman
