A man needs to be polite, not just to me but to everyone. I watch that. How does he treat the waiter? How does he treat the coat-check girl? How does he treat the driver?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
How someone treats a waiter or doorman can tell you so much about a person.
A man or woman can be known and respected for good taste, regardless of job or income level, if they make good choices in clothes, have good table manners, are kind and organize their home to look warm, welcoming, clean, and appropriate to their station in life.
If a guy treats me respectfully and the waiter demeaningly, I'm turned off.
I notice how well or badly a guy treats a waiter, or whether he's kind to some people and not to others. One guy I was with actually yelled, 'Get out of my face!' at a homeless man. Needless to say, there was no second date.
Men treat men differently than they would a woman.
I think a gentleman is someone who holds the comfort of other people above their own. The instinct to do that is inside every good man, I believe. The rules about opening doors and buying dinner and all of that other 'gentleman' stuff is a chess game, especially these days.
Manners make the world work. They're not only based on kindness but also efficiency. When people know what to do, the world is smoother. When no one knows what to do, it's chaos.
Politeness is a desire to be treated politely, and to be esteemed polite oneself.
Man is the only animal that learns by being hypocritical. He pretends to be polite and then, eventually, he becomes polite.
Beware of a man with manners.
