Five tips on how to become a true gentleman by Winston Deloney

Five Easy Steps To Becoming A True Gentleman

1) Clean Yourself Up

This seems like a pretty obvious statement, but it means more than showering once a day. As a gentleman, you should always be clean shaven. Make sure that you brush your teeth at LEAST twice a day. Apply deodorant daily, if not multiple times in the day. Make sure you dress sharp, whether it is casual wear or business professional. The way people evaluate you upon first glance is one of the most important things to becoming a gentleman.

2) Fix Your General Dialect

Slang terms were considered cool in the 90s. We are over a decade removed from this, not that it should have ever been considered acceptable to begin with. Use proper grammar when composing a sentence to others, and they will respect you.

3) Speak with Respect

The universe doesn't expect you to like everyone you meet. This doesn't mean you have to show disdain towards others that don't exactly fit your style of personality. But if you treat those types of people with respect, others around you will take notice and respect you more in return.

4) Firm Handshake

The handshake is a dying art form. If you can make eye contact, speak direct, simple, and deploy to use of a firm handshake, your gentleman points will go through the roof.

5) Know When to Talk

Sometimes more is said about something when they say nothing. You never want to be the guy going on and on about something when the crowd around you begins to lose interest. The most powerful gentleman is the one who speaks little, so when they do say something, people are intent on absorbing the conversation.
