Tom Leykis - Stop being a gentleman it's dead

[youtube]V45---XkZvc[/youtube]


What are your thoughts on being a gentleman in the 21st century? Do you think it's an archaic concept? Do you think men should hold doors open for women, pay for dates, etc.? Or do you feel like doing those sorts of things takes something away from the equality factor between men and women in our culture?


The caller at around the 9 minute mark made a pretty good point about that I thought, and I think I'd feel the same way if the rolls were reversed; if there were social pressure for women to hold doors open for men for instance, I wouldn't like that. I think it would make me feel similar to how handicapped people feel when people try to do things for them they want to do themselves.

Go ahead. Stop being a gentlemen. Don't hold doors, don't compliment and don't lift heavy things. It won't take much time for some other guy to figure out what you're not doing and steal that tang out from under you. Enjoy being a douche and wondering why certain things don't get done on your behalf by your lady.

Leykis...is the last person to be addressing how to be a gentleman.. lol

I hold doors cause I likes to check 'em OUT

i hold doors for people its just common curtsey .

from a womans perspective, being a gentleman is not dead and yes we still do like it

i'll hold the door for anyone. Man, woman, young or old. 98% of the time. A lot of times i'll open the car door for my lady.....Just how I am.

HELL no.

Unless the date involves a time machine and a trip to the 1800's, that is...

If there is some one, any age... any gender... I will hold the door...
Who likes a door slammed in their face...
It's not that hard to not be an ass hole...
Sometimes I go through a hole week with out having a possible incidence of being ass hole....
Geeze... Ass holes are all around...
It doesn't change me...
and when I hold the door for you...
You gladly walk through but you can't make eye contact or say thanks...
Cause well... You are an ass hole...
Ya know who you are....

...didn't watch any of the clip again, huh?

It's Tom Leykis, neither did I.

I have found that being a gentleman usually leads to my dick being sucked, thus I always hold the door open for women.

I posted already that I watched two and a half minutes. Couldn't get past the condescending vibe and that's from a guy who has plenty of examples being condescending on this site lol

edit: You are right. I didn't watch any of it. I watched the other video from the same guy. I expect the same vibe.

I usually am more out of habbit than anything else. I don't know why anyone would try to when most woman I meet don't act like ladies and would rather be with a man that treats her like shit.

Usually friends of friends. I think it's time for different friends or maybe I should scout the book store or farmers market, depending on the time of year.

Maybe its a age thing with the mid twenties.

dunno , i know a lot of nice women in the mid 20s , just depends on the person i think, also depending who you hangout with

So canadian women actually have respect for themselves and others? Because I don't see it down here. Im trying to get away from all the sheisty people in my life. But they wont stop. Just got a new phone number. Hopefully that helps.
