Letters to my son: How to be a gentleman


Dear Son,

We have a culture that has embraced the feminist movement where many girls try to prove they can do it themselves or may even seem offended if you open the door for them.  I say chivalry is not dead!!!!  More boys need to be raised to be gentleman.

Gentlemen:
  • Speak with gentleness and honor.  You don't really have a temper but learn to control an anger so that disagreements can be handled by talking it out not yelling it out.
  • Hold the door for a lady (even the car door) and allow a lady to pass first.  You can always practice on your mom :)
  • Use table manners
  • Don't fart or burp in front of a lady
  • Help a girl when they are struggling with something heavy
  • HAND OVER THEIR UMBRELLA WHEN IT IS RAINING to a lady or hold it for her
  • Stand when a lady enters a room
Keep in mind the word Gentleman is self explanatory or how to act - GENTLE!

So give it a try as you grow over the next few year.  Practice here and there until it becomes habit.  Your future wife will thank me.
