It is believed that the days of real gentlemen are long gone. However, this statement cannot be accepted as the only true one. There are men who have preserved their honor and respect for people who are able to live in such a way that afterwards they will not be ashamed of their actions. Being a gentleman is extremely difficult, because their characteristic behavior can greatly surprise others who are not used to observing good breeding and restraint.

Instruction manual
1
Behave with restraint. One of the most important advantages of a gentleman is considered to be the ability to restrain his emotions. Even if the interlocutor pisses you off, do not show your irritation, try to resolve the conflict with the help of arguments that can convince. However, if someone offends you or loved ones, you must be able to defend yourself with dignity. There are situations in which diplomacy does not lead to the proper result.
2
Learn to always keep up the conversation. If you are poorly versed in the topic of conversation, ask exhaustive questions to the interlocutor. Thanks to this, you will please a person by listening to him, and enrich yourself with new knowledge. However, try to match the society in which you are and constantly evolve, reading informative literature and watching interesting news.
3
A gentleman should behave nobly. Never stoop to discuss the spicy details of someone else's life, do not dissolve gossip and try to express an impartial opinion. It is very important to treat fairly both enemies and your relatives. In any conflict situation, always stand up for a weaker opponent. It is extremely ugly when a man screams at the elderly, women or children. Do not allow yourself this and try to appease others.
4
Define the rules for communicating with women. Never share the details of your sex life, even if they relate to women who played only episodic significance in your life. Politely take care of your companion. At any exit to the public, to a restaurant, theater or cinema, pay for the lady, if this does not contradict her beliefs. Do not insult, and do not raise your hand to a woman. Always remember that you are not only a gentleman, but also a strong man.
5
Watch your appearance and wardrobe. Even if you cannot brag of elegant haute couture costumes, strive to look neat in any situation, wear only clean clothes and shoes, periodically visit a hairdresser. Do not forget about how your hands look. A gentleman is not excused to have dirty nails. Use nail clippers and a nail file.
