Always be polite
Even if you don't like someone, there is no need to lower
yourself to their level. Be polite and courteous; show that
you're the better man.
Do not curse
Swearing is unacceptable. It shows that you don't have the
vocabulary to express your thoughts appropriately. Furthermore,
it is always very crude and impolite to be vulgar.
Do not speak loudly
It implies that you can't reason with people
to get your point across. It also draws negative attention.
Do not lose your temper
When you lose your temper, you are showing everyone that
you can't control your emotions. If you can't even control
yourself. Keep your cool at all times (it won't be easy
but it is worth the effort) and people will take positive
note of your level head.
Do not stare
Your eyes should always remain from the chin up. ALWAYS!!!
Do not interrupt
Interrupting others is a sign of poor etiquette and a lack
of social skills.
Do not spit
Spitting is very crude. Do not spit in public!
Respect your elders
You should respect others as you would like them to respect
you. Especially your elders, it seems that today, young
men think being brash is cool. Well, it’s not. Just
think of how you’d like others to treat your grandparents
and act accordingly.
Tact and Diplomacy -Do not laugh
at others' mistakes
This is perhaps one of the most uncouth things one can
do. When you mess up, the last thing you want is for someone
to bring it to your attention. So Don’t ridicule others.
Hats Off!!!
This rule seems to have gone by the way side. You should
always remove your head wear upon entering a building.
Furthermore, never keep your hat on while at the dinner
table or during the National Anthem, It reflects very poor
etiquette.
Wait to be seated
When sitting down for a meal, you should wait until all the
guests are properly seated. And remember never begin eating
until everyone has been seated and dining at the same time.
AND SO MUCH MORE….
The Basics of Chivalry
Furthermore,gentlemen (in training) should
follow these additional rules when in the presence of a lady.
Always open doors
This is perhaps the most basic rule of male etiquette out
there. It is also one of the easiest to follow so you have
no reason to forget it. Whether she is about to enter your
car, restaurant, Theater, or anyplace with a door, you
should always hold it open. If there are many doors, then
hold them open one after the other.
Put on her coat
Always help a lady put on her coat. This is a simple but
powerful action.
Help with her seat
If an unaccompanied lady is sitting next to you, it is important
that you help her be seated by pulling her chair out for
her and gently pushing it back into place.
Give up your seat
If a pregnant lady, mother with small children, LADY
or elderly person arrives and there are no available seats,
you should stand up and offer yours.
Stand at attention
Always stand when a lady enters or exits the room. This rule
has been somewhat relaxed, so you can stand upon entrance
but remain seated upon exit. Nonetheless, if you can do
both, you should.
Give her your arm
When escorting a lady (that you know) to and from social
events, you should offer her your left arm. This is a little
more intimate, but serves well when walking on uneven ground,
near a street (gentleman take the side closest to the street)
-- especially if she's wearing high heels.
Ask if she needs anything
Gentleman When at social events, make sure to ask
the lady if you can get anything, a drink, something to eat,
a napkin, depending on the event. Show her that you care
about her comfort and needs.
These are the rules of etiquette you should
observe in everyday life. Be a leader by elevating yourself
above the norm and display the mannerisms of a true gentleman.
The world will appreciate such a rarity and your career will
most definitely benefit from your good manners and savoir-fa
ire.
