Looking around you today, it is not difficult to notice the nonsensical way Men behave towards women and even to their fellow men. Most men behave so unmannerly and uncourteous! Is it so difficult? Open the door for a lady, stand when she comes in (when you are on a date o)… read on.
A true gentleman makes sure that people around him are comfortable, respected and cared for. The courteousness, politeness, respectful and mature behaviour of a true gentleman can make the world a better place to live.
With a little effort and by developing a consciousness of people around, men can revive chivalry. A modern man can turn out to be a gentleman in its true sense, how? Just follow my rules.
Cleanliness to a good step
Your clothes doesn’t just have to look good, they have to smell good too. Let us list out how to maintain a proper hygiene:
•Regular showers
•Proper use of cologne and deodorants (make sure you don’t overdo them)
•Pleasant Smelling appearance
•Trimmed Nails
•Properly shaved and trimmed moustache and beard
•Neatly trimmed nose hair
•Clean hands and feet
Have a good presence
After basic hygiene comes your appearance, your clothing, your looks and your overall personality. Appearance actually reflects your attitude and your state of mind. A true gentleman knows exactly how to present himself. His decency and decorum is reflected through his dressing. A real gentleman knows how to present himself at different venues and different gatherings.
Make everyone around you comfortable
He is the guy who causes comfort to the woman he is with. Gestures of a true gentleman may include:
•offering woman his seat
•helping with her coat
•opens the door for others
•offers his jacket to his girl
•pulls out chair for her
•takes coat
•reaching for the cheque at restaurants
•stands when woman enters the room
•opening car door
Hence, he will ensure that whenever he is around he is a source of comfort for the people around him. He doesn’t do it to show his strength and masculinity; rather he does all these comforting gestures to show that he really cares.
You need to be always on time
Let your word be your bond. Don’t say one thing and do another. A true gentleman is always punctual. He never keeps a woman waiting. He respects her and her time. A real gentleman always plans his time for unseen things like traffic, last minute commitments etc. He makes sure that he reaches to her well in time.
Your morals should be impeccable
I am not saying you should be perfect, I am just saying that you should have a moral standard–a positively high one preferably.
Morals and values are the true traits of a real gentleman. He knows his values and sticks to them in all circumstances. All his dealings and interactions with people around him are based on his firm moral values that never let him down.
Be polite, courteous and again, manners
If you want to be a gentleman, you have to converse in a polite, mature and classy manner. They never raise their voice to prove their point. They never use an inappropriate tone, vocabulary or remarks while communicating with others. You just need to be more considerate of other people in your surroundings. Make use of magic words, ‘Thank You’, ‘Sorry’, ‘Please’, ‘Excuse Me’ etc.
And there is the Manly manners you will need
In this quest, you will need to have the manly manners (a man + well mannered), how?
Your manly manners make you a real gentleman. He takes initiatives in an emergency situation. He is the one people look up to in case of trouble. He demonstrates manly manners and makes a lasting impression on anyone he meets. A firm hand shake, confidence, well maintained eye-contact and courteous behaviour makes you the real gentleman. Whether meeting your boss, your family, your girlfriend’s family or some colleagues, he will present himself as a true gentleman.
