gentlemanly behavior
Polite, considerate actions
Gentlemanly behavior is conduct befitting a gentleman—courteous, honorable, and considerate of others.
It suggests old-fashioned masculine politeness: holding doors, standing when a woman enters, keeping one's word.
The phrase can sound dated or ironic: That wasn't very gentlemanly of you.
Sometimes used sarcastically when someone acts crudely.
