Well Ladies and Gentleman, I know i haven't been active in quite sometime but given what has happened I feel motivated to take a more active role once again in this membership. For those of whom I haven't had the pleasure to meet yet my name is John, i'm from San Diego and like many of you I grew up with heroes that many my age group never knew; The John Waynes, Cary Grants and Sean Connery's of the world. As I got older and my tastes became more refined I came across GentZ ultimately joining the group there. As that room closed down I was invited by others to join the Society Al & Scott built. What awful news of his passing. I share the sentiment that I want to carry the torch with you all. Thank you once again for the invite and I look forward to reconnecting with you all again in the coming days.

The Society of Ordinary Gents, the O.G.’s of Gentlemanly Behavior, was created to provide a haven where gentlemen and ladies can communicate with each other in a polite and courteous setting. While many discussions will center around genteel behavior, humor, fashion, food, mental and physical well-being, and the active mentoring of a new generation of gentlemen, no topic of discussion is off limits provided the discussion is conducted within the Code of Conduct of the Society. The Society of Ordinary Gents is not a platform for recruiting members into sub-groups, special membership groups, or educational or financial opportunities. Poachers, Charlatans, or Internet Self-Help Gurus will be banned. The Society is not going to teach you how to be James Bond, John Wick, or the secret methods to make women want you. The Society is not a for-profit group or business. Essentially, The Society of Ordinary Gents is the online equivalent of friends enjoying a cigar, a bourbon and the company of others, as we discuss meaningful and trivial matters sitting in comfortable chairs.
