No, but I once heard that the true mark of a gentleman was one who could zip up his pants in public (if he forgot earlier) without being embarassed.
Moving on, I think it's unfortunate that a lot of the gentlemanly things that were expected of us (us meaning guys my age), aren't done anymore.
In fact, some of the things would be considered offensive by some women. Things like opening a car door (or any door) for her, walking on the street side of the sidewalk, entering a dark room first or holding a seat for your girlfriend to be seated and/or standing when a woman joins your party or conversation. Some seem silly, but they were nice touches I thought -- and certainly not meant to be demeaning in any way.
Oh well, call me old fashioned.
Too bad.
