Travis Tomaszkiewicz replied to Ricky A. Bussey Sr.'s discussion 21st C.G. - Figureheads in the group 21st Century Gentlemen"the unfortunate thing is that most UFC fans don't pay attention to that stuff, they just look at the punching, if they did i may not have an aversion to every guy wearing a tapout, affliction, whatever other similar brands there are.

Manly?? in the group Men in the Kitchen"Ok, let's say you're at poker night and the generous host has ribeyes on the grill...

Alexander Chambers replied to Ricky A. Bussey Sr.'s discussion 21st C.G. - Figureheads in the group 21st Century Gentlemen"Great question. Its hard to identify a popular and modern gentleman.

As far as the entertainment industry goes…"

21st C.G. - Figureheads
It's great that we can look back into previous Centuries to find examples of great men in the public eye to emulate. However, who do you all think are the CURRENT, well-known, men out there that personify the idea of being a 21st Century Gentleman?Besides ourselves, who will our sons see in the news that we'd be ok with them as a role-model?See More
Ricky A. Bussey Sr. commented on Jacob Fehr's group Manly Character""If you can force your heart, and nerve, and sinew
to to serve their turn long after they are gone;
and so hold on, when there is nothing in you,
except the Will which says to them 'hold on!'
~R Kipling"
Ricky A. Bussey Sr. joined Jacob Fehr's group
Manly Character
A discussion about what it means to be manly on the inside. We can participate in all the manly activities we desire and still be a coward. Men are involved in a variety of careers and hobbies that differ greatly, but we can all still be great men.See More

Michael replied to Nathan DeParis's discussion Women: The Infallible Baromoter"Perhaps so, I included morals to cover my bases, there are areas between the two that get cloudy."
Liam S. replied to Alexander Connell's discussion Wolf Blitzer pushes tornado survivor to admit she thanked the lord. She tells him she's an atheist in the group Gentlemen Atheists"Awesome. "
Liam S. replied to Nathan DeParis's discussion Women: The Infallible Baromoter"I disagree that ethics necessarily reflect morals. Virtues, maybe. But manners and ethics are social constructs, not moral ones. Morals *may* come into play, but are not necessarily part of the equation. "
Michael replied to Nathan DeParis's discussion Women: The Infallible Baromoter"I would disagree about manners.
Manners are a subset of ethics, therefore ultimately morals and virtues will come into play."
Michael replied to Nathan DeParis's discussion Women: The Infallible Baromoter"Adam's assertion doesn't require analyzing how a nation treats it's women. Granted treating women appropriately ought be expected of any civilized nation just as treating any person appropriately is.

I would say no. But of course I'm not you and I'm not in much of a position to answer that question. YOU should answer it though, if only to yourself. "
