Do consider yourself to be a gentleman?

For the most part. I hold the door open for people, walk on my wife's (or daughter's) right side/facing the street, etc. My parents taught me well!

Somewhat. I hold doors for ladies, I say "Yes ma'am", "Please" and "Thank you". What I am is not a guy that will bring you flowers, give you a card, drink wine with you, or kiss you in a public setting. So basically, if John Wayne would not have done it neither will I.

Of course I do. I am respectful of all women and treat them with the dignity afforded by men who were raised with principles. I hold doors, I curb my language, I practice the "Ladies First" ettiquette, and have and will protect/defend women and children to the best of my ability. I raised my children the same way. But the other side of this card, is that I expect to be treated as a gentleman. A thank you goes a long way with me. If I hold your door and you act as though it is your right and treat me llike a servent, I will note the behavior and remember it in the future.

The name's Bond, James Bond.

I try to mix chivalry with equality. Get's confusing sometimes, but I open doors for men and women, and try to be "gender neutral" in some cases. In many cases, yes I am a gentleman.
