I concur 100% with this, southern girls dont Need much, don’t require much, and most definitely don’t need an expensive dinner for a nice night out. Simple classy gals, less complicated and very easy going. 
If you like 'soul food' it would probably be the best place to go though....
I embarked on another novel this time its set in London (in this book, Londoneites refer to London only as the City) to see if any of the characters get descibed as gentlemen...
well they all go to wine bars and talk shop and mergers, and most of the time the women get embarassingly sloshed BUT a true gentleman doesnt get drunk and shaves apparently...and doesnt jilt his fiance at the altar or runs off on his married wife and children with a younger blonde on the tube.
He also isnt gay. So stay clear of the West End and maybe stick to Saint Albans where people are a lot more proper and respectable, and less likely to be theatrical types. It could be your next door neighbour, the kind one that brings you flowers when he accidently runs over your guinea pig with a lawn mower. Well, its a novel, they have to meet somehow.

er, that doesnt make sense
of course gentlemen are gentlemen, but not all men are gentlemen I think that's fairly obvious....Or maybe it isnt. Well maybe you dont find out till you get a nasty troll on the forum who makes sarky comments on every post and treats women so badly that they might want to hide in the ladies forum.
Not that thats happened to me personally...but it happens.

well my attempt at finding a gentleman in british fiction so far has yielded, someone who isnt gay, has money, doesnt seem as if he's pursuing a lady (when he really is) , lives next door or over the fence, doesnt propose marriage but the lady says lets have sex and then he agrees so he invites her over to HIS place.
Also, the lady must not be aware she likes him until the very last moment, and she also finds out the reason her fiance ditched her at the altar was because he was gay and in love with her former boss, but for some strange reason he just couldnt tell her that.
Huh. And they all talk in posh accents using big words, while constantly quaffing glasses of wine, cos its, you know CLASSY
If anyone wants to read this super edifying novel, its called Reading Upside Down, by Jo Platt

It could be very gentlemen of me to be polite and could be very gentlemen of me to be a gentlemen in lots of other ways,, personaly tho i think it would be gentlemen to offer support for hurt ladies feelings. And perhaps a gentlemans forum may be a good idea where ladies could be made to feel more welcome.
perhaps you should call it the gentlemens and ladies forrum then that way there can be more of an invitation for both sides,

I think its a good idea and maybe it should say under your avatar when you make posts that your a male or a female,, because lots of times i have mistaken female posts for male posts. I had no idea you was a lady untill i checked your profile. I remember because i thought it was funny when i did and saw that your username was also a type of oil ... i had many people think im a women too .. I think they thought my username was more lady like or something .. but ive done the same thing and thought a ladies username was a man when replying,, so im now checking peoples profiles out more befor i reply .. because i got into a long drawn out debate with a user here i had no idea was a lady because of her username. that was called hiskid. anyhow after checking her posts it turned out she was upsetting lots of people and she got banned. but when i was replying to her i thought she was a man. and ive done that a couple of times to other members.. at first i thought your username lanolin was an italian mans name for some reason.
my next novel is called Shop Girls of Harpers, set in 1912
the main character parents die so she goes to live with her aunt in London but she has to find a job to pay her way, but she comes from a 'Proper' family in which women shouldnt have to work such common jobs as shopgirls (unless they are sell luxury goods) and her great grandfather WAS a gentleman he was a SIR
ie. had a title
I guess its assumed ladies only have proper, respectable jobs, the previous novel Id read the 30 year old heroined CO-owned an antiquarian bookshop. I supoose she was able to afford so because of her inheritance or trust fund money.
England was very class concious, I suppose it still is. Though possibly the 'common' people outnumber the aristocrats. I always remember Princess Diana being described as a 'commoner' even though she actually had a title before she married 'Lady Diana Spencer' so I am still confused over what would make someone 'common' and what makes them a lady or a gentleman.
