If men only knew how simple it is. Just be a gentleman. No guy has to look like a celeb or throw money around like it's confetti. But he ought to be tidy and courteous. Of course one of the few ABSOLUTE requirements is decent table manners and I will NOT sit down in public with a man who keeps his hat on in front of me, or with me or won't hold the door for me. That's not really asking too much.

I can't complain about my "ex" when it comes to that; he had good manners, treated me well...opened my door , took my coat off, pulled out my chair on special nights out on the town.

Finding a man with good dinner manners may seem superficial, but it's important. At least for me it is. Don't shovel food in your face like it's your last meal.

Being a gentleman is an essential life skill. It is a necessary component of maintaining a relationship, building a good professional reputation, and establishing oneself as a solid member of the community.

But by itself, being a gentleman does nothing to attract women - any more than being a gentleman qualifies a man to run a nuclear power plant or manage the Yankees. It's just a minimum standard of civilized behavior.

Attracting women in the post-feminist era is a much bigger game, with a complex set of guidelines. The man who knows how to attract women can choose to behave like a gentleman, or not - it doesn't really affect his attractiveness, though failing to be a gentleman might negatively impact his ability to maintain relationships later on.

The process isn't simple at all. ;)
