It all depends on how good she looks and how.....um...."open minded" she is. If she does the right things for me, I'll do more tricks than a monkey with 50 feet of rope.

Being a gentleman doesn't mean being a doormat - it means being courteous to lady and she should treat a gentleman likewise.

I know this is for the guys, but I just had to participate....
1. Opening the door of the car -- Maybe on a special occasion but for the most
part I like to open my own doors
2. Sending birthday cards -- Yes and of course I would reciprocate.
3. Pulling a seat/chair -- No, I'd probably fall on the floor.
4. Sending flowers even on valentine’s day -- Let's change that to sending
flowers on Valentines day and certain other occasions - not all the time.
5. Sacrificing my needs to give her cash - Well gee, if that is a real option, of
course. Tee Hee. 
6. Change tire or oil -- Yes and I'll do something equally helpful for him.
7. Wash car - Yes and I'll do something equally helpful for him.
8. Sleep at her parent’s home - Can't do that anymore with my mom and dad.
9. Cook and serve breakfast in bed - Maybe on a special occasions and I will
do the same for him
10. Wash clothes, especially undies - Yes and I will do the same for him
11. Call everyday - Goodness gracious if we are not living together don't smother
me.
12. Do groceries on her behalf - Yes and I will do the same for him.
13. Entertain her with beer and cigarettes - Not for me but maybe an occasional
bottle of wine and a romantic dinner shared by the two of us .

Being a gentleman is about a way of life and an attitude that carries you through each day. Being polite is just a sign of an inner attitude. So it is not about a list of things to do or don't do it is about how one carries oneself.

Won`t find much of a partner with those qualifications pec***
Most women prefer a gentleman...
1. Opening the door of the car ....not necessary all the time.
2. Sending birthday cards,...if he forgets...not a problem.
3. Pulling a seat/chair...doesn`t have to..only if he wants too.
4. Sending flowers even on valentine’s day ..nice gesture but not necessary.
5. Sacrificing my needs to give her cash ..what do I need money for.
6. Change tire or oil..I can do both.
7. Wash car..I like washing the car.
8. Sleep at her parent’s home..whats wrong with that.
9. Cook and serve breakfast in bed, Hell NO!!...not necessary but a nice gesture.I`d do it.
10. Wash clothes, especially undies..Not necessary..I like doing laundry.
11. Call everyday...every once in a while is fine.
12. Do groceries on her behalf ..only if I`m sick..I like grocery shopping alone or together.
13. Entertain her with beer and cigarettes ..I don`t drink..and I`d rather quit smoking then have anyone buy them for me.

I just do everything naturally. I have never felt the need to make a list of all I do. I think the term gentlemen is vague. A couple going out is respectfull of each other or they are not . There is no in between.

Don't see any problem here. It's not "dark ages" of hiding one's preferences anymore.Thanks God and American democracy - everyone in this country can decide for him/herself for whom to "do things" : for men or for women. It's legal now

I don't think being a lady or gentleman was ever legal/illegal...it's always been a choice (the peerage notwithstanding  ) reflecting consideration and respect for the opposite (as well as same) sex.
Just making a LIST of the "don'ts" indicates that person CHOOSES not to be a gentleman. If one chooses NOT to be a lady or gentleman, so be it. (Not the type of personality I'd care to have treat me in a hospital setting, though )
To me, personally, it's unappealing (with some of that list bordering on rude and arrogant -- pretty selfish/self-centered, actually...kind of sad, too  )

My point was - nobody is forced by society anymore to hide his preferences in "closet" .If someone is not into women - he doesn't have to pretend being straight and live in frustration , he now can legally come "out of the closet" and "do things" (i.e. express affection) for men .

Hmmm.. some of those things he won't do would insure only one date on most occasions... but then again maybe all hes looking for is just that a DATE not a relationship....
1. Opening the door of the car ..heck I have even done this for friends sheesh !!
2. Sending birthday cards, alsways try to remember to acknowledge a person BD
3. Pulling a seat/chair ...again I have helped friends too COMMON COURTESY
4. Sending flowers even on valentine’s day .. I LOVE to send my S/O flowers
5. Sacrificing my needs to give her cash ..depending on the WHY yes
6. Change tire or oil .. do this myself but LOVE when my S/O does if for me
7. Wash car this is a group thing I mean how can you have a water fight ALONE?
8. Sleep at her parent’s home ..depending on the circumstance yes
9. Cook and serve breakfast in bed, YES why not?? again showing how MUCH you care for your S/O
10. Wash clothes, especially undies .. sharing household chores IS the basis of a good relationship
11. Call everyday try to if just to say HI
12. Do groceries on her behalf ...again the sahring chores thing
13. Entertain her with beer and cigarettes ...not beer n ciggys but um OTHER things
14. …
Its always WONDERFUL to be treated with RESPECT while out and about and also at home .. ie: helping with chores etc.. Its AMAZING when the gentleman also remembers to walk on the curb side of the sidewalk and ASKS what you would like to do eat etc instead of ASSuming.. I have seen this recently with Habanero and Katt AND lacey n toocools was wonderful !! even the other guys at the gathering too was way cool ...apparently they were raised WITH some manners ... tis sad to think that chivalry and manners are fading...kinda like women being referred to as Beyotches n ho's huh ? like I said b4 tho that kind of rudeness would garner 1 date IF that...

Poor Peac0ck 
I'm not sure that that's quite what he had in mind
Then again, you are absolutely right...but I giggle (or squirm) at putting "opening doors" in the same preference category as "sexual orientation"

Well...as they say : difference between "just male" and "gentleman" is - gentleman is opening doors for ALL ladies ( it's about good manners, isn't it?) , while male does it only for the lady he's currently dating.
Subsequently - the one who's NOT opening doors for ANY lady ...well , seems like he is not exactly "male" , right?
