The Next Generation
A Gentleman is self-less. In all of his gaining of wisdom and knowledge he understands the importance of imparting on the youth. The youth are our future and any Gent that is a true Gentleman, cares about our future.

Kissing Frogs
You don’t have to kiss every girl you meet trying to find the one. Several women at a time can be very distracting. So distracting that you’ll miss the one you’ve been waiting for. I promise you SHE is worth waiting for if finding that special someone is that important to you. You save yourself and all you have to offer until you the time is right.
Peace &Blessings

Rule #267
It’s not always the time or place to be sharing political opinions. Check your surroundings before you speak to avoid unnecessary arguments. No one wants their dinner party turned into a debate.

Rule #265: It's Okay To Show Vulnerability.
You may feel like someone will attack
you if you show just the least bit of
vulnerability, but in the long run, you
will be showing her a side of you that
no one else may see. And she might
like you all the more for that.

rule #261: "Get over it" is not acceptable to say
To anyone upset. Girlfriend or sister or brother or best friend or father, it’s just a very impolite thing to say.

Rule #260: Try to comfort her.
When she’s upset or hurting, i understand that sometimes you’ll have no idea what to say to her, but try at least. Hold her and if you cant do that support her as much as you can from a distance.

Rule #259: Not everyone will understand why you love her,
and i can promise you she will not be perfect, but love her anyway because she’s yours.
Rule #258: Sometimes, just hold her hand.

Rule # 257 details
girls adore details like flowers, gifts, good manners and such. To truly be a gentleman you must notice the details of the clothes that she is wearing and complement her for looking glamorous (dont say dashing) and try to know what types of music are her favorite and buy the cd’s of the bands that she likes and when you play them sing with her.

Rule #256: Remember to be who you are.
who YOU are. Not who everyone else thinks you are, or trys to force you into being. Be yourself, that’s the most attractive thing you can do.

Rule #255 Attire
Just a few simple bullet points. Some of these are strictly for teenage boys, however.
When dressing for a wedding, job interview, nice date, etc
- Your socks should be the same color as your slacks.
- Know how to tie a necktie/bowtie. You shouldn’t be relying on your mother or father.
- Shirts unbuttoned to halfway down your chest does not make you look “cool” it makes you look sleazy. Dressed up = buttoned up.
- The same goes with jewelry. Less is more. Wear a nice watch (no plastic) and keep away from man rings. Far away.
- Now this one is specifically for teenage boys. Sneakers are for wearing with gym shorts. Not with dress pants.
- And lastly, shirts should always be tucked in.

Rule #254 A gentleman must always apologize when he knows that he's done something wrong.
Seriously. If you and your lady both know that you’ve done something wrong and you don’t apologize, she’ll think that you don’t care anymore, and hold it over your head forever.
Rule #253 Understand that you cannot buy her affection.
A person who believes that the way to a woman’s heart, the way to make a woman feel fulfilled and happy in a relationship, is to give her presents and take her to expensive places showcases not only they immaturity, but their sexism. If you want a woman’s affection and want her to feel happy with you, the best way to do that is through genuine interest in her concerns, caring, and basic compatibility.

Rule #251 If you like it, put a ring on it.
Really men, if you want a girl, if you’re certain she’s all you want and you thinks she feels the same, LET HER KNOW.
Don’t ever think it’s an assumed thing, TALK, communicate! I mean, dont propose after 2 weeks, but you get my point.
-aspen
Rule #250:Always know the time
Wear a nice watch, don’t check your phone. And don’t look at it often. Be aware of the time and never be late. Punctuality.

Okay, you might have posted this and I looked but didn’t quite see it. anyways, I think a guy should always pay for a first date. I raised this issue with my friends and said if a guy didn’t pay for a first datem i would most likely end our relationship there. they were outraged, but i feel like if he pays it shows he respects you. maybe it’s old fashioned.
Submitted by: Thin Dreams
Hello! We did post this, this is rule #182. It’s a ways back though, so it’s okay. I think that whoever does the asking ought to do the paying, but you’re right— it is a respect thing, to me anyway. It might be old fashioned, but there’s nothing wrong with being the old-fashioned kind of girl.

Rule #249: If you're not fifteen minutes early, you're already late.
this goes for job interviews, meetings, and almost everything else.

Rule #248: Intimacy is a private thing.
People feel varying things on PDA and both people in a relationship need to respect the others boundaries on this. Also, remember that not everyone wants to see a couple really going at it in public.

Rule #247: If you have to ask yourself if it's still worth it, it probably no longer is.
-Annakah
Rule #245: Sometimes, love makes you crazy. Let it.
-Annakah
Rule #244: If she gives you her heart, be careful with it.

Rule #243: Don't Just Listen To Her..Hear What She's Saying
Some guys simply listen to a woman. But to really understand her, you must hear what is being said, how she’s saying it and the emotion she puts into it. Don’t forget to give her your undivided attention…

Rule #241: Tell her your honest opinion on things.
Tell her what you want, what you need, what you think. If she’s worth working for, she wont have a problem hearing the truth.
Just a quick note.
How to Breakup with Your Boyfriend, by Cory Copeland.
Seeing as how I’ve been broken up with a time or two (waaaaay more, actually), I felt it was only fair that I should share my knowledge of what to do and what not to do when breaking up with a guy. After all, I’ve been through every method, from the one that goes, …
I am posting this because each of these rules could apply to breaking up with your girlfriend, as well. Check it out, guys.

Rule #240: Be the man who thinks and talks about “US” and not only about “Me” and “I” or “You"
Be the man who would initiate topics about your aspirations of being a couple.
Add “US” into your topic of interest of conversation; be as passionate when you speak about your relationship similar to how you talk about your job, your workmates, your rock band etc.
Asking questions to your partner such as “Have you eaten?”, “Are you home now?” on a daily basis no longer count as thoughtful because it become routinary and eventually turn out to be just for the sake of having something to talk about.
Show some interest about how you two are doing in the relationship. About how you feel about her and of being together. You may share all your personal idead and interests to your partner, but you already have friends to talk to about these. And the reason she is special and unique is because only with her you can talk about feelings and be taken seriously for it.
Submitted to us by someone without a blog, but still, great rule.
Rule #239: Don't criticize something you don't understand.
You have no right.

Rule #235: If you want to be a man, stand up for what you believe in, no matter who tells you that you're wrong.
There are far too many people these days that will no longer stand up for their beliefs. Don’t be one of them.

Rule #232: She is not going to magically read your mind and meet unspoken expectations.
Guys, she’s probably going to screw up along the way and say something wrong because the words just don’t come out right. She is probably going to forget to do something that you want her to do.
And girls, he’s probably not going to know exactly what to do every single time just to make you happy.
Do not feel let down when s/he doesn’t meet an expectation that you didn’t tell them you had.
-Annakah
rule #231: Listen.
Listen to what people say, listen to how people feel. Relate to people. Try to understand them. This isn’t simply how to be a gentleman, its how to be human.
