Tony Blair is regarded as the most gentlemanly politician.
'ERE! 'E's a bleedin' POOF!

Still prefer gentlemen--for what?? I don't know about British women, but the only use American women have for a gentleman is moving furniture. Otherwise they just look right through you, as if you aren't there.

Dr Lewis, author of Loving and Loathing: The Enigma of Personal Attraction, said: "Because more male than female babies are being born, society is becoming increasingly unbalanced. If we are talking about the US and not China where abortion of female babies causes this disparity, the "natural" situation is that slightly more boys than girls are born. But slightly more boys than girls die before the age of 2, and that trend continues into adulthood. By the time both sexes are 21 years of age, the girls are outnumbering the boys. (In the early years, because girls in effect have an extra "half" chromosome, they have better disease resistance. In the later years, boys engage more willingly in potentially fatal risk behavior.)
Therefore, I submit, Dr. Lewis is simply wrong. He has made an assertion (disparity in birth rate) and not factored in disparity in death rate. Bong! Throw him out!

Chivalry died in the 60s when a hippie feminist passed it some bad weed....

Another survey, conducted by confectioners, revealed that consumers want products that can be maintained statically for display - but can be eaten too.

They scored highest for their capacity for chivalry, followed by Japanese men and Italians. American, Australian and German men scored lowest.
That's funny... The British women I've talked to, and American women who have dated Brits, have all complained about how sulky, whiney, and wimpy British men are. Of course anyone who considers Tony Blair a model of maniless judgement is beyond repair.

"
But chivalry and social graces, such as pulling out chairs, carrying the shopping, complimenting a woman on her appearance and opening doors, were often more important than money."Someone's head is sadly disconnected. Complimenting a woman, especially in America, on her appearance, can get you fired and hauled into court on sexual harassment charges.

The relationship between what women claim to want and what they actually want is tenuous at best.

"This means competition between men for a partner will become fiercer, with men having to work harder to find and sustain a relationship.This is a good thing!
Courting is a lost art for many men however the main reason is women

I appreciate people with manners and good etiquette of either sex. I hold these persons in higher esteem and give them preferential treatment where I am able. Its not a male/female thing for me, nor for others who value manners and etiquette. Those who appreciate those kinds of things will seek out others with similar values or treat them preferentialy when they encounter them randomly. It's really just that simple.

They accuse men of behaving like gentlemen only when it suits them...A little news flash for these women: Since the '60s gentlemanly behavior towards a woman must be earned by that woman.
By their own collective behavior, women have forfeited the privledge of automatically being considered ladies. They have chosen to directly compete with men. They have openly revelled in denigrating gallantry.
Therefore, until a woman demonstrates ladylike behavior she will not receive gallant attention.
"Having your cake and eating it too" never works. Welcome to the world of cause & effect.
To: vannrox
What they prefer is of no interest. They are getting what they are worth and what they are creating, then complaining about it. If you aren't ladies, don't expect gentlemen.

Since it takes 2 to tango...
Women want gentlemen...but gentlemen must settle for "women"...not LADIES?
This is a crooked deck.
To: vannrox
Working out the difference between chivalry and sexism may be a minefield for men, but most women would prefer them to be more gallant, a survey has found Minefield for men ?? If a woman can't appreciate chivalry, honor and courtesy, that's HER problem and I would not want to have a realtionship with her in any event.

"Despite equality, women today still prefer gentlemen"
There's something wrong with that statement (Hmmm..thinking).

Working out the difference between chivalry and sexism may be a minefield for men,... Chivalry is rooted in the desire to serve; sexism in the desire to be serviced. C'est tout.
Once that distinction is grasped, it all comes down to the man's will and ability to be honest to himself about his motives.
