Chivalry is the new black.
Hi. I’m a gentleman.
I’ll open the car door, front door, back door, side door. If it has a handle, don’t bother, I got it.
Hi. I’m a gentleman.
I know this is 2012 and you’re on your independent swag and everything but I’d love to pull out your chair for you before I take my seat. It’s just how I was raised.
Hi. I’m a gentleman.
I respect my elders. I acknowledge the fact that for the most part, with age comes wisdom; I’d love to learn from those wiser than me.
Hi. I’m a gentleman.
Instead of using foul, vulgar language to defend myself verbally against my enemies I’d rather make them look foolish with my intelligence. It’s classy and shows that you have the necessary vocabulary to express your thoughts appropriately.
Hi. I’m a gentleman.
There will be a cold day in hell before I let a woman stay standing while I have a seat. Stop frontin’, I know those heels are murdering your feet girl.
Hi. I’m a gentleman.
When we’re out and about, walking the streets of wherever, you’ll never walk closest to incoming traffic. No, I don’t think I’m Superman but I’ll sure feel like a hero if some idiot hits me instead of you my lovely.
Hi. I’m a gentleman.
When I’m taking you out to eat, whether it’s La Coupole in Paris or our local McDonald’s with a Playplace included, I’d like to sit facing the nearest entrance so that if anything pops off I can do whatever it takes to keep you safe.
Hi. I’m a gentleman.
I’ll always say, “please” and “thank you”. It’s the little things that go a long way in showing other human beings your appreciation. And I genuinely appreciate all of the little things.
Hi. I’m a gentleman.
I’m a lover, not a fighter. But if some douchebag is talking down to my woman you can bet I’ll go Super Saiyan in a heartbeat for her. Even Cupid is strapped.
Hi. I’m a gentleman.
I’ll never call you out of your name. The word, “bitch” offends me. It should offend you too. You call yourselves bitches and men think it’s okay to do the same. Cut it out.
Hi. I’m a gentleman.
If I’m showing you interest romantically, you can wholeheartedly believe you are the only girl in the picture. I like to think of myself as my lady’s man rather than a ladies man.
Hi. I’m a gentleman, not an alien.
In this crazy world we live in where chivalry has taken a backseat and the old school manners our parents have taught us make a man who practices them “bitchmade”, I continue to utilize this increasingly extinct concept.
Call me old school, call me bitchmade, call me lame, but they used to call me “gentleman”.
