The Perfect Gentleman
ü Never wears a hat inside.
ü Holds the door for a lady.
ü Stands when a lady enters or leaves the room…
ü Walks on the street side of the sidewalk when walking with a young lady…
ü Precedes a lady down the aisle of the theatre and takes the outer seat on the row, unless that is the better seat. He then should relinquish that seat to her…
ü Helps young ladies put their coats on and take them off…
ü At the dinner table, a gentleman helps the woman to his right as she sits or rises from her chair…
ü He knows that good hygiene doesn’t take long and it has to happen…
ü Does not email or text anything he doesn’t want to see on the front page of the newspaper…
ü Turns off his cell phone when entering a theatre, church or meeting…
ü Never uses rude or vulgar language in front of a lady or children…
ü Will offer his seat to a lady who has no place to sit…
ü Treats others the way he would like to be treated…
ü Removes his hat when he goes indoors. When he greets a woman outdoors, he raises his hat, and tips his head. He will wear gloves outdoors only, never inside, and never shakes hands in gloves.
