Gentlemanly Behavior

Lets' talk about women.

All the style talk is fun, but the fact is, with an intelligent, witty woman by your side you can wear a $50.00 suit and look like a million bucks thanks to her. But, in order to have that woman with you in the first place you must behave in a way that she deserves.

These are some basic pieces of etiquette and they apply whether you've known her 50 minutes or 50 years.

Open doors and pull back chairs. I don't know a single woman who takes offense to this. It's not a political statement, it's just well mannered.

Pay attention to her. It's rude to look around the room when she's speaking to you and staring at other women is worse. Presumably, you want to be with this woman, so don't do it.

Dance even if you think you can't. She'll only care that you tried.

Don't talk about yourself all night. Ask her about her.

These are simple rules that someone should have already taught you but, there it is. You can spend all the money you want on clothes, but without manners you're just a thug in an expensive suit.
