True test of a gentleman!  OK men, this one is for you.  Can you pass the gentleman test?  Are you just old fashioned or are you a modern day Prince Charming? There is a difference between being your father and understanding that sexual equality means more than working for a woman. Do you behave yourself, when you have to, or do you come across as someone who misbehaves at only the best possible times?If your wife, your co-workers, your children were to be asked if you were someone they would consider to be a gentleman...would they say "Yes?"  Does it matter?  Statistics show that men who have more "gentleman" attributes get more respect from their peers, receive pay raises at a faster pace and overall report to have healthier and happier relationships.  It matters.  See how you do with the following questions...
