"Recently, a friend of mine was performing the most intimate of oral activities on a woman (she&amp;amp;#8217;d been jogging near his house and had stopped by). When he&amp;amp;#8217;d finished, and she&amp;amp;#8217;d finished, she looked (down) at him and said, &amp;amp;#8220;you&amp;amp;#8217;re an appreciator of women.&amp;amp;#8221; Great, my friend, thought, but what&amp;amp;#8217;s that really mean? To be clear, my friend and this woman are just seeing each other. They have dates, they have sex, they hang out, but they&amp;amp;#8217;re not in a relationship, per se. He&amp;amp;#8217;s made it clear that, at this point, he makes a great date but would make a lousy boyfriend, and she is very cool with this. So what exactly is an appreciator of women? In essence, it&amp;amp;#8217;s a guy who really likes women, who, while he might enjoy sex with them, isn&amp;amp;#8217;t just looking for sex, wants to be in their company, and truly appreciates what women bring to the table. And how does she know if they guy she&amp;amp;#8217;s seeing is an appreciator of women? 1. He &amp;amp;#8216;s into her having orgasms. Lots of them. Whatever sex act, or combination thereof, happens to make her go craziest, she notices that he puts a lot of effort into that particular exchange. 2. And he doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t ask for, or expect, return in kind. And not just with sex, with many things you do together. An appreciator of women will want to expend effort to make sure she&amp;amp;#8217;s comfortable, happy, or amused, without caring if he&amp;amp;#8217;s getting the same. 3. He pays. Even if it&amp;amp;#8217;s just brunch, or a coffee, an appreciator will know that he&amp;amp;#8217;s lucky to have her company and will acknowledge this by being the one to take her out. Old-fashioned? Sure. Incontrovertible? Absolutely not. But a good sign nonetheless. Is &amp;amp;#8220;an appreciator&amp;amp;#8221; sounding a lot like &amp;amp;#8220;a gentleman,&amp;amp;#8221; to you? Me too. But if there&amp;amp;#8217;s a difference it&amp;amp;#8217;s situational: A gentleman needs to be conscientious in all his doings, an appreciator really just needs to be on his game when it comes to her. Of course, if he&amp;amp;#8217;s relationship material, he might need to graduate to Gentleman, but maybe that&amp;amp;#8217;s something to think about on her next jog.
