GG Reacts: Assumptions About Us from Our YouTube Community!

[@krunoslavkovacec1842]

Enough with assumptions. The question is...are we going to get a house tour of Raphael's 17th century castle in Bavaria ?

[@gentlemansgazette]

I hear in Eastern Germany you can get castles for rather inexpensively...

[@Boselaphus]

@@gentlemansgazette So in France. Get your "Von bla bla" titles. You are quite the aristocrat in some cases.

[@krunoslavkovacec1842]

[@wnJhntn]

@@krunoslavkovacec1842 yeah we do

[@AllFather-TheStoicGod]

@@gentlemansgazette You definitely can, same in France. In '07 I sold one for my client/friend in the Loire Valley...from here in NYC. 40,000 hectares complete with a 17th century castle...orchards and all.

I was glad to hear that Raphael denied being a German sleeper agent, which is exactly what a German sleeper agent would do...

That is a great progress.

You’re not alone, it’s refreshing.

[@carolchavez5213]

Agree, I started with this channel, then started watching Bernadette banner channel, started doing my research and now my friends say I look like I got out of 1920

[@Mojo_3.14]

Kyle comes across to me as a person people mistake as a harda$$ but is really chill in real life. A guy who got his friends back too. Raphael seems like the type of guy who would give himself an ulcer from over work. Like he constantly has five projects going at once and is stressing about meeting self-imposed deadlines in his long term plans. Preston seems like the type to nerd out about history and obscure clothing facts but is quite comfortable in his own skin and hobbys because his friends "get" him and are just like him with their own interests.

[@onerandombruh]

Funny thing is that everyone gets from Raphael this stressful guy vibe...

[@Geno-me4hk]

You Gentlemen help me to reinvent, notice and practice my inner gentleman as an African American southerner!!! Thanks you Gents!!!

[@aranyakm]

Raphael is not a snob. He gives the much needed guidance that one should expect to come from the elders that is becoming rare in today's world where people grow up in nuclear families.

[@ornot_toby]

[@rajo741]

You are unabashedly yourselves and a fine example that all people can follow today.

[@mintysingularity]

@@gentlemansgazette Preston, I once lived with a guy that was very similar. He was endlessly amused by people's odd interpretations of him and, not entirely understanding it, began having a bit of fun with it. Over the years he developed a series of gut-busting stories of what he could get people to ridiculously believe-not that I recommend it.😂 Like my ex-roommate, I'm glad you're you and I hope you are too. ❤

Very well done. I like this comment show, and you all handled those comments with grace. Even the super obnoxious ones. Really find a lot of benefit from your videos. Also, my wife bought me a scarf and gloves from your website. They are beautiful.

Answering assumptions about men whose passion is clothing, which is one of the main ways we make assumptions of people, and is often used for that purpose. About to watch. Hoping the mean-spirited assumptions are less than 50%!

Just wanted to say thanks for the good moments and knowledge, GG. I really enjoy your channel. It's always interesting to see you guys out of script as well, and Preston, yeah, I can really see you more relaxed and "flowing" nowadays. Keep up the good work!

[@Boselaphus]

This is very crucial, I would like to call these kinds of videos one episode of your life. Very much teaching us about important topics. Great channel, this is a characteristic of a golden person/channel.

[@ProfessorJayTee]

What's all this with 'Bodyguard' Kyle? He looks like one of the nicest guys I can imagine meeting. He looks nothing like a bodyguard or 'tough guy' to me. I'm saying this as a former Federal law enforcement officer myself. I've met a lot of both types.

[@mydimeisup5103]

I can kind of see it. I think the look is usually just big arms in smaller arm openings for polo/t-shirts that we associate with tough people or body guards.

[@gentlemansgazette]

Kyle is tall and not a lightweight, so I guess people feel intimidated by that...

[@MannyBrum]

I mean IRL body guards and law enforcement can look like literally anyone. They can be old, young, in shape, out of shape, whatever. I think they're talking about stereotypical bodyguards from movies. He's muscular, tall, bald, facial hair, often wears short sleeves. I have a lot of people ask me if I drove a motorcycle when my hair and beard is grown out. I'm not even close to a biker but I can see how people will think that because certain qualities are always assigned to certain roles in TV and movies.

[@ProfessorJayTee]

@@MannyBrum In real life, bodyguards are often selected for their intimidating appearance. Others get into too many unnecessary fights as people think they can 'take them.' Not true of law enforcement, though. Being neither particularly large nor intimidating myself, I was the one who usually got physically attacked. (My larger colleagues sometimes had zero fight experience as a result.)

[@kidaria1333]

Because of his physique. He looks super fit and muscular. By first impression I thought is a professional sportmen.

Subreddits? I’m only subbed to the one.

[@davescommonplacebook9374]

I like how you handled this. You guys are a class act. I assume that Raphael likes Downtown Abbey. I assume that Preston has studied Latin as hobby. I assume that Kyle's favorite watch strap is rally style, and that he likes British sports cars in racing green but finds them uncomfortable to sit in.

[@gentlemansgazette]

Yes, we like Downton Abbey. English period dramas do a much better job in terms of clothing accuracy than American counterparts.

[@TXGRunner]

That was fun. I really enjoyed much of your content. I am fascinated by the 1930's in terms of style, art, culture, and technology, but in most cases, I don't think I can "carry it off." I basically dress like a peasant: cargo pants, backpacks, crocs - I opt for comfort over style. To some extent, this is the natural consequence of spending over 15 years in harsh, high risk environments. I understand why you stopped the references to "peasants," but I thought it was both accurate and mild compared to what others think when they first see them. Only the insecure and self-conscious were offended. I thought it was funny, and kind of motivated me to be less like a peasant. Thanks for making all this content.

Zu „Schneider“: es ist nicht so einfach mit den deutschen Familiennamen. So gibt es den Namen „Frauenschläger“… das bedeutet, dass jemand unter den Vorfahren für ein Nonnenkloster im Wald Holz geschlagen hat. Zurück zu Deinem Namen! „Schneider“ kann selbstverständlich bedeuten, dass es Schneider unter den Vorfahren gab. Es kann aber auch der Erntearbeiter („Schnitter“) gemeint gewesen sein, selbst jemand, der besonders tapfer war, der also „Schneid“ bewies. Oder jeder, der irgendetwas schnitt (Hälse?😉) Also, denke nicht nur in Richtung Tailor. A very good night to you!

Hey Sven and co, this is really offbeat but sort of goes with the Gentleman esque lifestyle... what do you think of Latin? The language? Do you know anything about it? Do you think it's a gentlemen thing to learn? Sort of like how it's good to learn the ins and outs of fine wine, clothing, and perhaps music and arts. I've been interested in it lately and wonder if there's a place for it in this kind of lifestyle

[@gentlemansgazette]

In Germany, it used to be compulsory in a humanistic Gymnasium. I had the chance to learn it, but opten for French and English instead. I know a few quotes in Latin, that's about it. As many languages are based on latin I don't think it is bad to know. At the same time if you learn Spanish, Italian or French, learning other Roman languages should be easier too.

[@jayphelps1536]

In my English Prep School and Public school we learnt Latin. It has been helpful in life, however, being a gentleman is simply about behaviour and a little about style. (No Gentleman would ever own or wear a baseball cap under any circumstances!) It is not about flaunting one's education, which is unpleasant and crass. I appreciate your modesty, and that you understand that approaches to style do change from culture to culture. I will always remain bemused by "wingtips"! ( I wear brogues!)
