Ne-Yo's Five Rules on Being A Gentleman



On the topic of being a Gentleman, I've found this video on YouTube of the singer Ne-Yo giving five rules to being a gentlemen.

Rule One: You are a walking, talking, living billboard. Make sure you look your best at all times!

Rule Two: Never let them see you sweat. If you don't know, then don't make it up! Stay classy!

Rule Three: Gentlemen never lets his woman walk on the curb. Put your lady on the inside so your lady doesn't get hit by a car!

Rule Four: If you are able to sit down for dinner, make sure you pull out the chair for your woman. Then you sit down.

Rule Five: BIGGEST RULE of being a gentleman. Never, ever, ever, ever call your woman a b*tch!

Thanks Ne-Yo! :)

A Few Points on Ties


Learning how to wear a tie is an important characteristic in becoming a gentleman. A gentleman's appearance is key, especially for first impressions. You do not want to look sloppy when you are out for an interview, out an a hot date with a really cute girl, or out on a formal occasion such as a wedding.

When you are purchasing ties, it is quite simple once you know a few simple tips. The first thing you should do before purchasing ties is to determine how long they should be relative to your body figure. One of the worst things that could happen is that the tie can either be too long or too short. When it is tied correctly, the tip of the tie should come just to your belt buckle, no more, no less.

Secondly, it is important that the tie make a nice, snug, knot. If it is not snug, the tie might look sloppy and your appearance might not appeal to people. Finally, it should coordinate in color with the outfit and the patterns should not clash with the pattern of the suit or sport coat.

Etiquette with Women

Etiquette with women is one of the major rules for men who are trying to have a distinguished persona as a gentleman. Whenever a man is out with a woman, it is important that they follow a few simple rules. First off, a gentleman should always make sure to open any doors for the ladies, and always let them walk in first. If there are any stairs or escalators, a gentleman should follow behind the lady when going up and proceed before her when going down. This is to ensure her safety just in case she stumbles and falls. At the dinner table, a woman should be shown to her chair before any men take their seats. Men should also rise any time she happens to leave or returns to the table. When it comes to food, a gentleman always waits for his lady to get her food before he begins eating. When down the street, a gentleman should make sure that his lady walks on the inside of the sidewalk, rather than on the street side of the sidewalk. This is for safety purposes just in case a car jumps the sidewalk. Following these simple rules will leave a positive impression on women and can possibly ensure future dates!
