I wonder too sometimes. In modern times, it can be tricky, While most women appreciate it when I open doors for them, there have been some who have been offended by it. They say things like, “I can open my own doors.” Jeez, I was just trying to be courteous.
Unfortunately gentlemen and women who are genuine and appreciative are a dying breed today because of the moral decline. This is not to say that they arenโt out there, but they are getting fewer and further between.
Many factors are causing it. But the main factor is that most parents would rather be their child’s best friend than their parent. Many parents are so afraid their children will hate them if they dare to discipline them. Also, politics, song lyrics, and what we see on TV and movies has a lot to do with the moral decline too.
Those are good points, sometimes you have to wonder about preference cascades leading the way for this stuff. My personal opinion is that itโs better to be good than be gentlemanly these days.
Bullying โ an ongoing and deliberate misuse of power in relationships through repeated verbal, physical, and/or social behavior that intends to cause physical, social, and/or psychological harm.
Someone verbally intending harm over a period of time. Thatโs exactly the type of toxicity!!!
What will a rich man do?

That is why I always try to be a gentleman.
I know your wife appreciates that!
She does. ๐
I do wonder, what makes a modern gentleman?

Whatโs causing modern societyโs moral decline, in your estimation?

In many situations, that’s true.
There’s a time to be a gentleman and a time to not be a gentleman.
Itโs always time to stand up to bullies who use dehumanizing language ๐, yes?
