This video, which was made especially for SR.com readers, brought a smile to my face last night. Chivalry isn’t dead as long as artists and gentleman like Ne-Yo are around to keep it alive.
I remember when I was in college, I had a male friend who had a car (at the time I didn’t have one). When we went anywhere, he would park and tell me to wait as he got out and ran around to the passenger side of the car to open the door for me.
I asked him why he did that and he said he was taught to always be a gentleman and open doors for ladies. Nowadays I’ll be lucky if a brotha holds the door open for me at a bank or a store. Isn’t it sad that we as a community have lost our values?
Ne-Yo’s third studio album Year of the Gentleman is in stores now!
the gentleman is an endangered species..it’s like a virgin at 25…they still MAKE you?
LOL @ SANDRA
SO TRUE, I CAN’T RECALL THE LAST TIME A BLACK MAN HELD THE DOOR FOR ME OUTSIDE OF CHURCH OR HE WAS A FAMILY MEMBER
WHITE MEN DO IT ALL THE TIME-JUST MY EXPERIENCE SO DO JUMP ME-
^^^LLS…I know that’s right. Gentlemen are hard to come by now-a-days.
I agree with you on this one Sandra..
actually as I was coming out of a store, I was pushing open the door to leave and a young man came right on through as if I was pushing the door open for him
@ sandra, how true!
Neyo has a solid album I just wanted to you guys that, its really nice!! yeah a gentlemen is hard to come by these days!
***side note*** Did anyone catch the final season of G’s to Gents, Creepa won last nite he so deserved it but I wish kesan would have stayed because lord knows that boy needed a change real bad.
That’s sad that holding a door open is a big to do, anymore. It’s a regular thing for me, and I always say thanks. Once, I did have to tell this BM that sistas like the doors held open for them, too, when he broke his neck trynna open a door for a crank whore of a white woman. I believe his shortfall was a race thing, than manners.
i wanna know who watched the r kelly interview on BET…
bloggergirlz!!! wait, I heard something on the radio this morning, a clip from somewhere, where the interviewer asked him if he dates teenagers, and Kelz said, what’s a teenager…hahahhahahaha. WTF?!!
Sandra I agree with you. There are so few men like Neyo left in the world. Gay or not he is deffinately on the top of my list as a class act. Neyo I will be purchasing your album.
Comment: I wonder if it has something to do with rappers always calling women H*e’s and Bi*ches that the community feels they don’t need to respect women. Men won’t even get up on the train to give their seat to pregnant women. I heard one man say “well its not my fault she pregnant and she probably dont even know who the baby daddy is”. *gasp* like that has anything to do with being a gentlemen and giving up your seat to a prego woman.
@ mzsuave: that’s what made me think about it LMAO…
When you say teenage, how old do you mean? I have some 19-year-old friends, but I don’t like anyone illegal if that’s what we are talking about, underage.”
PRICELESS…
i see you switched up your pic!
I thought that R. Kelly comment was a joke when I read it somewhere. He has some serious deep bedded issues. Someone needs kick his ass everyday of the week for 12 hours a day.
He just confirmed that he likes young girls
Gentleman, hmmmmmmmmmmmm I’ll take Creepa, did yall see him win on G’s to Gents, he was my fave from jump. I was so proud of him for cutting his hair.
Ne-Yo is cool, I’m becoming more and more of a fan
You know…I”m originally from Ohio, been living on the Easterly side of South (mississippi and Florida) for awhile. I cannot lie…I have met waaaaaaayyyyy more gentlemen here than I ever did in Ohio. Opening the door isn’t a big deal to me because it happens all the time. But, I can see where the ladies are coming from. I have even been so impressed with some of my first dates…I paid for the second date.
OHHHHHHHH WHO EMAILED ME ON MYSPACE YESTERDAY? I can’t even remember!
Auntie Sandra you need to come up North because there are a lot of gentlemen around here. If anything I’ve experienced where women just walk in and don’t hold the door open.
@Candycane yes I saw that lastmight I was pulling for creepa too.
“Neyo has a solid album I just wanted to you guys that, its really nice!! yeah a gentlemen is hard to come by these days! ”

YES … derf SOLID. I love it already! Go purchase the album. Support talent!
Will watch video when I go home
