Romance20 Qualities Of A Gentle Man by Shiifi(op): 7:38am On Aug 07, 2014
Gentlemen still exist, today,
although they may appear slightly
different. The “old school” gentleman, who
pulled out chairs and opened up car
doors, has since been replaced with
the “modern” gentleman, who can
maintain a stimulating conversation
outside the realms of Twitter, Facebook and BBM. Given the social norms of today’s
society, being a gentleman will
prove itself to be quite difficult –
but not impossible. Just because certain behaviors
aren’t considered “cool” or
“popular” by mainstream standards
doesn’t mean they’re correct by
societal standards. Being a
gentleman is timeless, and mainstream trends will phase in and
out. Notice this, and focus on the
long-term. While being in your 20s and
carefree may discourage all
intentions of acting “gentlemanlike”
– recognize the longevity of certain
good habits. These will never “go
out of style,” and are telltale signs of maturity. Everyone can be a gentleman. That
title is earned, it’s not something
you’re born into. Here are 20 things
every prospective gentleman
should strive to do: 1. He refers to women by their
given first names Mom gave her that name for a
reason, use it. In many cases, it will
be extremely disrespectful to call a
girl anything besides her given
name, and generic (typically
profane) slurs are only a clear sign of your own ignorance. A gentleman should be deliberate in
regard to how he addresses a lady,
and first names will leave minimal
room for error. 2. If he can spare it, he spends it While paying for your female date
is no longer an expectation in
today’s society, especially on first
dates, unless you’re falling on really
hard financial times, it’s a good
look to at least offer. 3. He says “I’m sorry” Having the capability to say, “I’m
sorry,” is one of the most
overlooked qualities in both men
and women. Apologies require a
great deal of strength, and the
human ego will make matters personally challenging. Part of becoming a gentleman is
realizing that the man who can
admit when he is wrong is no
weaker than the man who never
backs down. 4. He stands behind an unwavering
set values Standing behind a set of values, and
believing in something, displays
loyalty in a man. True gentlemen
will follow a moral code, with
others’ best interests in mind. Upholding certain values will prove
to others that you’re in no position
to be walked over, and that you will
fight for what you believe in. 5. He always holds the door open It’s such a little gesture that goes
such a long way. I understand these
types of things may seem “ancient”
in the year 2014, there’s still a
degree of charm that comes along
with them. The “modern gentleman” should not
abandon the “old school” tools of
the trade. 6. He compliments people Complimenting people around you
is a direct reflection upon yourself.
It shows others that you are not too
self-absorbed to take an interest in
them, and it also shows kindness. While random acts of kindness may
go unnoticed by some, to others,
they might mean more than you
could imagine. 7. He’s well-groomed Comb your hair, brush your teeth,
shave your face. Maintaining small,
good grooming habits will speak
volumes about you as a person. If you can’t manage to keep your
appearance neat and orderly, how
can you expect others to believe
your life is any more neat and
orderly? 8. He always smells good For the ladies, but also for yourself.
By simply smelling good, you will
attract far more people than the
alternative. It’s a subtle aspect of your
appearance that bears far deeper
social implications. Find a brand or
designer that you really like, and let
that become “your smell.” 9. He keeps a good posture This isn’t the back of middle school
algebra class, and your company
isn’t some boring teacher. Sit up
straight, with your chest out,
shoulders back and demand the
attention of every set of eyes in the room. Whether it be just you and your
date or a room full of prospective
clients. Gentlemen will have a
strong backbone, and I’m referring
to their character. 10. He’s patient Children are fidgety and anxious.
Gentlemen are cool and patient. Whether it be en route to dinner
with a new girl, and stuck in traffic,
or handling matters of business – a
gentleman will always wait
situations out until they’re most
advantageous to act upon. 11. He maintains self-control Gentlemen will always be in control
of themselves. When other people,
or things, take the wheel and steer,
– with regard to life choices and
specific habits – it is only a matter
of time before you find yourself spinning out of control. The modern gentleman will not fear
experimenting with things, and
indulging in certain things, as long
as he maintains control and stays
within the lanes of his respective
road. 12. He always listens, first Trust me. Everyone’s got something
to say. It’s a much rarer commodity
finding someone who will listen. Being a gentleman is not about
constantly speaking your mind, but
knowing when to speak, and, most
importantly, when to shut up and
listen. 13. He’s smart with his money Gentlemen don’t live and die by
receipts or bar tabs. Being fiscally
responsible is a life lesson, and
being fiscally irresponsible is one
you will most likely learn the
morning after. Being a gentleman doesn’t mean
buying every attractive girl you see
walk past the bar a glass of wine to
show off what’s in your wallet. True
gentlemen will strive to find the
right girl – and then start saving up to buy the entire vineyard. 14. He’s always on time Being punctual displays reliability. A
sense of responsibility will often
supplement those who value the
importance of time, and meeting
appointments. If you’re on time with regards to
the smaller things, others will know
they can depend on you when it
comes to larger issues. Gentlemen
will know that being five minutes
early is too late. 15. He asks questions and doesn’t
speak about himself Showing an interest in others is
refreshing. A gentleman will look to
inquire about those around him,
especially a date, rather than
preaching about himself. Asking questions will show a
genuine curiosity in someone, the
opposite of apathy. Gentlemen will
look to keep their dates engaged,
and speaking, as opposed to taking
the risk of talking too much. 16. He’s always respectful Being a gentleman doesn’t mean
being a “yes man.” It doesn’t mean
seeing eye-to-eye with everyone
you meet, and it certainly doesn’t
mean being a kiss Bottom. What it does mean, however, is that
you will always uphold a level of
respect with all of your associates.
Naturally, a date, or girlfriend, is by
no means any different. 17. He makes the first move Don’t leave the fate of any situation
in the hands of others. Whether it
be starting up a conversation with a
girl you’ve never met at a bar,
being the first to attempt to
reconcile things with a long-term girlfriend, or even pursuing a
certain job opening – always take
matters into your own hands and
make the first move. 18. He’s composed Keep your composure. True
gentlemen are always poised.
Because when situations become
dire, and others start to panic,
gentlemen have the ability to
provide a beacon of assurance that the people around them can feed
off. In the words of Ernest Hemingway,
“Courage is grace under pressure.”
Be graceful under pressure. 19. He doesn’t rush out of places Sloan, from “Entourage,” dumped a
guy she dated because he asked to
leave the Lakers game early to
beat traffic. Don’t let this guy be
you. Always try to be the first man in
and the last man out, as it displays
your intentions to see things
through. Whether it be a movie, a
sporting event or work, don’t leave
until the fat lady has finished singing. 20. He doesn’t finish his food before
his date does Don’t be a pig. If you’re eating with
company, or out to dinner with a
date, don’t rush through your food
like you haven’t eaten in weeks. Especially during the earlier phases
of dating, view meals and dinner
dates as social events. Scarfing
down the steak you order should
always be secondary to conducting
a stimulating conversation.
