Definition of an Abstract Gentleman

ab·stract (b-strkt, bstrkt)

Gentleman

- A well-mannered and considerate man with high standards of proper behavior.


Combine the two and you have me. Seems simple right?
It doesn't rarely get understood that easily for being so simple. What is a TRUE gentleman these days? Does he open doors, but smash every girl possible? Does he hold out for the perfect one only to be disappointed?? To some, the word gentleman does not exist because of the standards men today have set for themselves. I call myself an abstract gentleman because even though I may act like a true gentleman, some of my ideas that I conjure in the twisted maze for a head I have, are practical, yet misunderstood. Sometimes I wonder why I act the way I do towards women, in wanting to understand them completely and wanting to know them mentally before anything else. The guys may say that's putting it on the pedestal but I just like to call it preparing myself mentally for the wifey. In order to understand the ever emotional women in today's society, you have to understand the causes of them becoming sappy. A gentleman could and would listen to them, but an ABSTRACT gentleman would take a step back and think on it for a while, thinking of all possible reasons and ways to correct this problem. We listen, but do not speak, think but do no reveal, speak but do not lecture. In order to understand an abstract gentleman, you must put all hormones to the side and think of man and women on a spiritual level. Are we here to bang each other but are we here to help each other? Most people say its the latter option, but do not conduct themselves in actions that would affirm those sentiments. Our generation is one that will affect the world for years to come and we MUST set an example for the coming generations.

  1. somwhere in a book i read by cs lewis [i'm paraphrasing] he said you can't understand a person you can only get to know them. it's the truth. but we all long for understanding...i guess it's one of those human characteristics we all share.
