39 STEPS TO BE A GENTLEMAN

Balonz [Edit] [Delete] 16:34, 28 October '15

Negotiates airports with ease
Never lets a door slam in someone's face
Can train a dog and a rose
Is aware that facial hair is temporary, but a tattoo is permanent
Knows when not to say anything
Wears his learning lightly
Possesses at least one well-made dark suit, one tweed suit, and a dinner jacket
Avoids lilac socks and polishes his shoes
Turns his mobile phone to silent at dinner
Carries house guests' luggage to their rooms
Tips staff in a private house and a gamekeeper
Says his name when being introduced
Breaks a relationship face to face
Is unafraid to speak the truth
Knows when to clap
Arrives at a meeting five minutes before the agreed time
Is good with waiters
Has two tricks to entertain children
Can undo a bra with one hand
Sings lustily in church
Is not vegetarian
Can sail a boat and ride a horse
Knows the difference between Glenfiddich and Glenda Jackson
Never kisses and tells
Cooks an omlette to die for
Can prepare a one-match bonfire
Seeks out his hostess at a party
Knows when to use an emoji
Would never own a Chihuahua
Has read Pride and Prejudice
Can tie his own bow tie
Would not go to Puerto Rico
Knows the difference between a rook and a crow
Sandals? No. Never
Wears a rose, not a carnation
Swats flies and rescues spiders
Demonstrates that making love is neither a race nor a competition
Never blow dries his hair
Knows that there is always an exception to a rule
