I'm a scruffy sod these days but would quite like to wear a nice suit etc like an old man I knew who always looked smart.

What other qualities maketh the gent of today?

It's not the attire, it's how you behave.

Respect, integrity, politeness, kindness. All of the basic good person traits.

I think a few men on here think that it's solely how they act when they want to get in someone's vagina. It's more than that.

Being a decent human will get you some way to being one OP.

It's the man inside that makes the gentleman.

A guy doesn't have to wear a suit to be nice.

It's all very sweet this 'manners maketh the man' stuff but it's mostly bullshit of course.

If you rock up in a pair of pale blue Matalan jeans, a t-shirt due a wash and a pair of Adidas 4 stripes, you're most probably not going to get chance to show just how well-mannered you are.

It's still about the cloth too.

I am gentleman. Was thinking of looking the part. Not a spiv or bank manager and of course developing the well mannered qualities of a gentleman of society.

Interesting that in the past to be a gentleman you only needed to have wealth and could still be a shit-bag. Now to be a gentleman you can be poor and you are measured by what you do and how you treat people not what you have. A change for the good ...

To a certain extent, yes. Making an effort for someone shows you care for their opinion of you after all, which isn't a bad impression to give.

The key is to do it effortlessly or "just know" and still be comfortable in what you're wearing, rather than looking like a Borstal Boy with his Dad's suit chucked on for a court hearing.

Here are a few things gentlemen do.

They protect the faragile and weak. They give the seats in buses for old people, the give their places in the queue for pregnant women etc etc.

They are considerate to others, for example they would help a waiter who dropped a fork from a pile of dishes when his hands were full.

Gentlemen are courteous to everyone at all levels of society from the highest of the high to the lowest of the low.

While the occasional expletive is allowed for effect. A gentle does not use the F word to replace every adverb and adjective in a sentence. Never swears in front of women or children.

He walks on the traffic side of the sidewalk when escorting a lady, opens the door for her or any other lady. Stands aside to let her pass. He does not follow a lady up a flight if stairs and stare at her bottom.

He takes a ladies chair out for her, stands when she stands and will never be seated in any area such as airport lounge when pregnant women, old people or the disabled are standing.

He may not be wealthy and dressed in the finest threads. But he is always clean. Smells fresh (but not bathed in cologne) and maintains personal hygiene.

A gentleman is quick to praise and give credit where it is due but are sincere not obsequious. They are slow to anger and are confident in who they are without a need to brag or prove themselves.

Gentlemen do not lie. Their honour and reputation are more important to them than gain of any kind.

Sounds terribly boring doesn't it? But I know a few gentlemen, some on this site who meet all these criteria and they are fun personified.
