I often hear people say, “He’s such a wonderful gentleman,” but I’m still unsure what exactly defines a gentleman.
This content is machine-translated.
If you look it up, you’ll find plenty of formal-sounding explanations, but what do people really mean when they describe someone as gentlemanly?
What does “gentlemanly” mean from a man’s perspective?
What does it mean from a woman’s perspective?
I imagine there may be differences, so I’d love to hear both viewpoints if possible.
I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member.
Since I’m a man, I’ll answer from a man’s perspective.
That said, this is just my personal image of a gentleman, based on my background as someone who graduated from a high school that wasn’t particularly academically competitive.
1. He doesn’t lie.
2. He treats people and things with care. (Since this is a dating club, that includes how he treats the women he dates.)
3. His way of thinking and his actions are smooth and sensible. (He can explain things logically according to the situation, takes action, and isn’t stingy.)
4. He’s well-educated. (He can function in society while understanding how society works, but he isn’t a book-smart fool or a rigid person.)
5. He’s humble. (Not someone who simply bows and scrapes—that’s just a flatterer.)
P.S.
Thank you, Mac.
I had absolutely no self-awareness, and he seemed perfectly unfazed, so I thought, “What is this supposed to mean...?” Well, maybe I do have a little awareness after all. (Haha)
I’ll stop doing that from now on.
