Five Timeless Tips on Being a Gentleman



You will be surprised that in this age, men and women alike still prefer gentlemen. By gentlemen, I don’t mean men who are dressed in a very old-fashioned way. I refer to men who have respect for themselves and the people they care about. Do you want to be labeled as a gentleman? If you do, follow these timeless tips starting today.

Exude maturity – Evaluate yourself and check how mature you are in the way you dress, speak and think. Adults tend to be immature these days because of the technological advancements around. Be cautious when posting pictures and statuses in your social media accounts. Aim for maturity too when dealing with unpleasant circumstances and people. Think first before you act or say anything.

Refrain from cursing or swearing – Even though today’s generation is considered morally loose, many people are still offended by foul words. Instead of cursing or swearing, practise learning new words that can help you become a better communicator.

Be conscious of your personal hygiene – A clean and well-groomed appearance is a mark of true gentlemen. A gentleman is appealing to look at and to be with. Take the extra time to look and smell good. Facial hairs may be an ‘in-thing‘ today but growing them is unnecessary for you to  look manly.

Be considerate of others – Do you open or hold the door for someone else? Do you find time to help oldies or women on the streets? Are you sensitive enough to return favours? Observing these practices can set you apart from the common men out there. Moreover, it will help build other people’s trust on you.
