In the modern era of independent ladies and frigid feminists, guys often forgo the old fashioned behaviors of true gentlemen. Some think girls aren't attracted to the traditional types anymore, but they're wrong. Men can still be modern and treat women like ladies.

Always open the door.

Whether it's the car door, barn door, or bedroom door, a gentleman always opens the door for a lady. It's simple, thoughtful, and gives you a nice moment to check her out.

Always offer up your seat.

Another old-fashioned gesture that if often forgotten is offering up your seat to a lady. Even if she tries to be polite and says, "No, that's okay, I want to stand,", don't you dare remain seated. Offer up your seat anyway and she will think you are the sweetest stud in the room.

Always introduce her.

When you run into someone you know, even if they are no one special, be sure to introduce your lady. This is just another show of respect and makes the lady feel important and included.

That's what being a gentleman is all about - respect. Women say one of their top turn ons is men who are respectful. Sure they want their independence. Of course they don't need you to hold their hand in everything they do. But, most likely, ladies will never get tired of of the timeless gesture of courtesy... and they'll love you more for it.

Not having much luck with the ladies? Wondering why? Scan this new website to see if you, or someone like you, has been posted with the unfortunate title of "undateable".

Authors of the new book UNDATEABLE: 311 Things Men Do That Guarantee They Won't Be Dating Or Having Sex are complementing their publication with a website that is "identifying all the things that men wear, say and do that tell a more complete dating and mating story and providing them with the tools to go from Undateable to Dateable," says co-author Ellen Rakieten.  

At first glance, Undateable.com doesn't appear to be helping men, but rather making fun of them. Although, a closer look, beyond the embarrassing pics of the "Undateables of the Day", men can find suggestions on how to become dateable. One example is to just say no to "jorts", and then they provide acceptable alternatives to the once fashionable cross between jeans and shorts. 

Ladies are encouraged to submit photos, audio, and even video (yikes!) of the best (or would it be worst?) undateable men they've encountered. Confiscate your ex-girlfriends' computers now.  

What makes a happy couple? The woman in the lead? The man? Or is it a bit of both?

Maybe they're just different and politics shouldn't try to change it. Certainly, the sexes handle the dynamics of a relationship very differently. Men are taught to be more direct than women, and women seek harmony.   

Why women give up

First, it is important to note that major problems usually occur after a woman feels that she has attempted many times to solve smaller problems. In many cases, women are the ones to initiate marriage counseling, or are often the ones at the book store buying self help books on relationship issues. Thus, women usually become fed up and do not believe that their partners have a sincere interest in solving the problems at hand. In response, a woman will take matters into her own hands, where she is likely seen as assuming a more dominant role in the relationship as usual.

Emotional pain = physical pain 

"If you listen to people who are damaged emotionally, they will often translate their pain into physical similes: 'My head is bursting, my guts are aching' and so on," says Professor David Alexander of the Aberdeen Centre for Trauma Research in Scotland. "The parallel is very strong."
