Yes Gershon we have lost our gentleman to game playing iPod children who believe love is just a game. My own grandson just got married a while back and as he was leaving for his honeymoon I noticed he had his electronic games packed. I said: If you want to stay married you better leave those games here, there is only one game you play on a honeymoon. lol

Great advice, Bobby (although i have NO IDEA what game one might play on a honeymoon. Tee-hee). ~ Gershon

I think he became extinct when the ladies wanted equal rights and all that stuff. I think they shot themselves in the foot doing that. Tom

I think that you've captured it precisely: The 'gentleman' has largely vanished, but there are still a (very) few of them around, aren't there?! Thanks for your insightful comment, Darlene! :) gw

What can we do to add them to the endangered species list? We can not let them go extinct! :)

My suggestion is simply this: That we all recognize that the differences between the genders/sexes is biological. Gender is not (normally) a psychological construct. If we just do that, a lot of the damage done to the male/female symbiotic balance over the last 50 years can be undone. AND then 'gentlemen' (and 'ladies') will no longer be on the endangered species list :) ~ gw
