I'd like to think of myself as a gentleman and I often end up acting more like a male, but at the same time I'm very happy/comfortable being a female.

In your opinion, can a woman consider herself a gentleman? Can she follow the guidelines of what it is to be a gentleman?

What exactly do you think? Yay or nay for the lady-gentlemen, and why exactly?

Edit:

By 'gentleman' I'm referring to the behavior, as in being polite and your mannerisms and such. Not so much what's in your pants, even though gentlemen happens to be a male pronoun.

And typically women who call themselves ladies are usually preppy and girly, I wouldn't say I'm extremely masculine but I'm certainly not girly.

This isn't about whatever gender I identify as, more so the general idea of women behaving as gentlemen.

Please don't take this the wrong way but I have to ask.  Are you a lesbian?

If you are, or even if you're not, you can act the gentleman if you wish, it's up to you.  Having said that I will tell you that when you act out of the 'norm' people often react in a manner that may distress you.

My sexual orientation really doesn't have anything to do with manner I behave in.

I didn't ask your orientation to upset you or 'troll', I asked to better frame my response, I am sorry if you took offense as none was intended.

Everything you DO is a choice, including how you behave or with whomever you choose to have sex.

Have you ever had your reading comprehension formally tested?

I generally take this kind of response to these questions as "Yes, I'm attracted to women, but still too insecure to act proud of it."

That's certainly possible, but it's an assumption you don't have enough evidence to make at this point. 

Also, totally inappropriate conjecture on someone's personal life. Leave your passive-aggressive remarks at the door.

why would she take it wrong? she's proud to be a woman who wants to act like a man

Dr. Higgins would approve.

Ken,

Do you "know" that? Or is it that there are some aspects of gentlmanly behavior that she wants to emulate, maybe in respect to honor, as in "I'll be polite if you will but I'll kick your ass if you don't"? It sounds like, with her EDIT, that she isn't a girly-girl and doesn't want to be.

You can be whatever you want to identify yourself as.
