i think that girls must say rules in this topic....
what u expect from man...we want to hear ur rules and guys can tell us just they own opinion about that....



ok.. My polite man:
1.- He must be say: lüften ve tessekur ederim. Each time he ask something.
2.- He must help his mother and women in family and of course girlfriend.
3.- He never will say bad words.
4.- He must help old people (example, sometimes the old people want a place in bus, but the young people don't leave the place)
5.- Never say lies or promises wich not will do.

That's all!



to be frank, i want to ask sth... as you have some rules and you want them to play game within its rules... where is feeling relax and free... and showing own feelings??

Are we talking about what is polite here, or what you all look for in a man?!!! In my opinion, being polite is about not causing offence or distress to anyone.

As for the "rules" .. for example, men being expected to open doors, I think they are very sweet, but we cannot expect men to treat us this way if, at the same time, we are demanding to be treated as equals It is a lovely, but outdated custom.

Turkish girls are not much interested in football...



I like foot baaall!!

Galastasary lost again?? ooh nooooooo!!

I'm sorry.



i guess Galatasaray will play tonight (for turkish time zone) so worry not...

but the point is.. Football is a very big company world wide... Italian, British and Spanish for example... and south america... we just care about football...

i don't like football, only soccer. and the whole polite turkish man thing.
I guess.. to me a polite turkish man would be one that loves u for u, not how popular u r or how good u r at certain things or how pretty u r.
They'd tell u they love u and mean it. They wouldn't hurt u on purpose or toy with ur emotions.
They'd remind u from time to time how much they love u and buy u roses or whatever flower is ur favourite.
They'd help u with things around the house like cleaning or helping u do the dishes each night.
They wouldn't sit on the couch all day and watch TV.
They'd ask u how ur day was or if there is anything wrong and if there was they should listen and help u sort out ur problem.
They would say please and thank you if you did something for them.

Anyway those r just some of my views on polite turkish men.

But is that being polite? Isn't that something which should come naturally if you love someone? Again, I think you are talking about an "Ideal Turkish Boyfriend" not about being polite?

Yes i think so. And i quite agree with the fact that it comes naturally when you love someone. Because:
You must respect someone in order to be able to love that person. If you respect someone, you will treat him/her with love and dignity. Doesn't that equal being polite?

And to be honest. I think youth that doesn't stand up for elder people in the bus isn't worth ****..

and good point... you wanted to tell what comes around just goes around... or sth like that... as you expect politeness you shouldnt be that selfish to give some eh



Hehe yep indeed, that's what i tried to say. And that brings me to the point what Aenigma said as well:

Hmm it is true that these are quite contradictional. On one hand 'we' expect them to open doors for us, on the other hand we want to be treated as equals. But here is my point: if he opens the door for you, does that make you un-equal to each other? Maybe, if he always is the one doing things for you. But won't you be the one to offer to make tea when you get home after a tiring day of home-shopping, after he has opened the door for you?

I think the whole point in this discussion is giving and taking in a healthy balance (OMG i sooo sound like those awful healthy trend-magazines!).

for me and simply a man is polite when he is just the man that he is without trying to be someone that he is not, so there is no need to say lüften ve tessekur ederim. Each time he ask something, or hold things for or open me the door coz we r in love and should be like one person so i think the most important thing is to love me deeply and be honest with me and with himself and have a good heart and ofcourse like FOOTBALL (real madrid and fenerbahce).
have a nice day all.
