G is for Gentleman

Being a gentleman begins and ends with one simple concept: RESPECT. Respect for yourself, and respect for others.  A gentleman looks to the future, and realizes that habitual hedonistic behavior erodes character and is ultimately in vain.

Nonetheless, in this day and age, being a gentleman is much more difficult to achieve than being a slut, simply because our current social trend suggests that being a slut is hip and valued. People are pressured by this invisible hand to throw caution to the wind and just let it ride.  And I accede — being a slut and throwing dignity to the wind IS easy.   It requires blind action and little thought to integrity, commitment, or consequence.  It’s all about living in the moment and having fun.  But an important admission to remember: your actions are a direct reflection of your character.  It is the quality of women, not the quantity, that matters.

A gentleman always conducts his affairs with three elements in mind: respect, dignity, and class. If you want a classy woman, you must acknowledge that a classy woman wants and deserves a polished man. 

 WOMEN

A real woman is dignified, cultured, sexy, and refined.  She carries herself with prowess, esteem, and confidence. She knows how to have fun.  She is easy to talk to, has a good sense of humor, and doesn’t take herself incredibly seriously.  She wants to develop a relationship with you, because you are you.

If you want her to be your devil, treat her like an angel.

The four duties of a man: make sure she is comfortable, the situation is relaxed, the conversation is engaging, and the mood is intimate.

Women are creatures of beauty.  They take a lot of time and effort to appear the way they do.  Chances are, when you go out with a girl, she has taken extra time just for you.  Give her a subtle comment on her beauty, every time you see her, when you first see her. Doing this first, is importantly salient.

A woman who is well kept, deserves a man of the same.  Be conscious of this notion and your appearance — groom yourself well. Keep it classy, with a dash of edgy fashion.  A nice, simple, semi-new shirt, dark pair of jeans, shoes to match belt.  No overly complicated, distressed, played out rhinestoned shirts.

She is the lead singer; you are the lead guitarist.

Walk side by side with her.  She should always be on the inside of the street.

Look her in the eyes, often.  Make her feel that she is the most important person in your world when you are with her. Always open doors, seat her, and most importantly, make sure she is comfortable –  with the atmosphere, with the people around her, with the conversation, and most importantly: you.

When first going out, always pick up the tab nonchalantly. Let her know it’s your treat, because you enjoy her company.  NEVER flash your money or try to impress her with money.

A gentleman knows when the time is right. If you are really into her, do NOT sleep with her the first night.  Women love anticipation, suspense, and the chase.  90% of the time, sleeping with her on the first night will be unfufilling and disengaging. The increased intimacy you and a woman develop after spending time with each other will lead to an unforgettable bedroom experience, and more often than not, a chance for a nice relationship to follow.

Classy girls, or bottlerats?  The choice is yours.  Choose wisely!
