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.

Several Members expressed interest in being the new Owner. Only Two had the passion I considered necessary. After much Prayer and Meditation I chose Stephen Arnold. Why? Not only the passion but he had also met Scott in person. I know Scott liked him. Stephen lives in Texas. For those that may not understand, I simply had to trust. And here we are and here we go. Thanks

I joined S/OG on June 9th and was welcomed with open arms. It has been such a blessing to have found a small community where everyone cares and are able to talk about similar issues without fear of offending someone or retaliation. Scott contacted me the evening that I joined because he saw where I lived and wanted to started chatting because I was in Texas also. He originally said he was from South Fort Worth which can mean a lot of places but after talking to him, he said that his address is Burleson but he actually lived in Rendon which is a very small town which is why his address was Burleson. This was crazy because I grew up in Rendon (my address was Ft. Worth). I was going to be up in Dallas this last July so I messaged Scott to see if we could meet up. He seemed excited about that, so we met at a shooting range up in that area and then went to have lunch. It was so great to see someone so genuine and passionate about this community. I am so grateful that I got to spend time with Scott before he tragically passed away and the great time that we had that day will live in my memory forever. When Al asked me to be the new owner, I was thrilled that I was chosen to keep his legacy alive. I told him that I would do anything I could to help. There is no way that I can replace Scott, but I am honored and willing to take up this torch and run with it. I pray that I can live up to the high standard that Scott left and further this community.

If you are a member of The Society of Ordinary Gents and you feel that you need to talk to someone about your feelings, anxiety, depression or other mental health issues, please seek professional help as soon as possible. While every member here cares about the well-being of the members of the group, we are not therapist, counselors, psychiatrist, or psychologist. We are a community that wants all members to be healthy, happy, and successful. Sharing with the group can be helpful, but it is not a replacement for seeking professional help.
