A King may make a nobleman, but not a gentleman



If you buy one pair of shoes and one suit per year, you’ll have a nice collection soon enough. It’s an investment. Also, know your measurements and sizes, because you might find a woman who wants to hook you up and get a suit made

Find a good tailor.

T-shirts should fall just below your waist, and the seam of the shoulder should be right on your shoulder.

Wear a belt. It’s called underwear for a reason.

Try to travel to a place where your cell phone won’t work. That’s when you know you’ve actually gone somewhere. If you can’t afford to put your passport on pivot, try reading a book or travel guide about the place you’d like to visit.

If reading books the size of War & Peace seems daunting, peruse different types of magazines-ones covering art, architecture, design or photography.

Try not to go straight to the sports section of the newspaper.

Being open-minded and aware of the world around you shows class and sophistication, but avoid seeming pretentious by being modest instead of showing off what you know.

There will come a time when you outgrow the dudes you grew up with. Have a beer with them once in a while, but it’s OK to move on and be friendly with new people.

Go easy on the slang, especially among those who are already judging you based on race and age.

Don’t just talk the talk.

Look people in the eyes when you greet them and shake their hand.

Be on time to meetings-early if you can.

Don’t think because someone has money, he’s a good businessman; there are people with no money who are better.

You don’t want to do anything and everything just for a buck. I’ve walked away from deals a number of times that I think were good deals, but I didn’t think they were good people.

Unless your Fight Club membership is in danger of being revoked, walk away from altercations.

Treat older women as if they were your own mother

Sometimes the best movies are in the independent market. Documentaries are great educational sources, too.

Brush your teeth, gargle or have a breath mint before getting up close and personal.

Never forget to introduce your woman as your girlfriend, spouse or otherwise to people when you’re out at functions together.
