The gentleman.

When I was in highschool long ago I remember noticing something. Not a single guy I saw acted like a gentleman. I thought about this for a while, when did it become ok NOT to be a gentleman? I still dont have an answer for that. But the thought of all these boys growing up and not knowing how to be good men kind of disturbed me.

So I did some self reflection. What about me? Was I a gentleman? No. I was not. I had some of the qualities of one but lacked many of the others. So I made a promise to myself. That I would be better. That I would act like a gentleman.

I have kept my promise. I did and do try to uphold the values of a gentleman. I dont always succeed but I am trying and from my point of view that’s a hell of a lot better than most men I meet nowadays.

Why do I mention this in a bdsm blog? Because if more dominants acted like gentleman instead of sex crazed asshats that want someone to submit immediately just because they call themselves a dom then maybe.. just maybe.. there would be less submissives in the bdsm community with horror stories of being taken advantage of.

I feel like we are an endangered species. And that just saddens me.

  1. We are an endangered species. With social media being the top killer. It is also how young men are being raised. Me being a Southern Gentleman I do not always put out and I do remember what my Father taught me. Keyword Father. There are a lot of Dads out there but not Father’s. You don’t dad children, you Father children. We as gentlemen must continue to be a image for your men to strive for. Good day gentlemen.

    1. Thank you Logan. It is good to see that others see and are aware of this in society. I believe as you said we must be the example. I find it is the small unexpected things that make people remember that. Like takeing a lady’s coat, or pulling out her chair for her. There are a lot of little things day to day that we do that just seem normal for us, but are unexpected by today’s standards. Have a good day Sir.

  2. Honestly I wish a lot more men were taught what it was like to be a gentleman. Modern society is like “woman can take care of themselves” which, is true and fine and all but I think every woman at the end of the day wants to be desired and treated a certain way and not a lot of guys are like that anymore

  3. The same for us women. It’s called being a lady but that term has so many definitions I don’t know that there is a word to explain it.
    I hold doors for people and go out of my way to make another smile. It is humorous to see a man’s reaction when I hold a door for him. It is a simple respect for another human and once you stop respecting them you stop respecting yourself.
