How to Be an English Gentleman (5 steps)
(edited by Lojjik Braughler and 5 others)


Do you want to have class, poise, and manners? Read on to be be a perfect gentleman.

Steps:
1. Dress appropriately for special occasions and outings. That doesn't mean wearing tuxedos everywhere. Unless its required for an occasion of course. Just wear some nice pants with a belt, a clean shirt(tucked in), and good-looking shoes.
2. Use high quality hygienic products. also consider a nice cologne and possibly some hair gel occasionally.
3. Be courteous to everyone. Especially women. Open doors for people, shake hands, and on dates don't take it too far too fast. many women do not want a man influencing them to have "relations" in the first few months.
4. Have good table manners. Nobody likes eating with a slob! Wipe your mouth with a napkin, don't belch, etc.
5. Have intelligent conversations with people. It adds charm. Just don't talk about about personal subjects like money.

Tips
 - When approaching women, use your smile and class to win them over, not cheesy pick-up lines, money or gifts, and especially not alcohol!
 - Do not be a kiss-up, but compliment people and boost their confidence. This will be helpful with powerful people, like your boss.
 - When it comes to material things, go for high quality materials that will look wonderful and last longer. example: JC Penny clothing over Wal-Mart or Dollar General clothing.
 - Remember that, with cologne, a little goes a long way. Nothing will make people keep their distance from you more than wearing an overpowering cologne.
 - If you do choose to wear cologne, make it a quality one -- cheap cologne often smells horrible after awhile.

Warnings
Do not dress very formal when not needed. you can wear some comfy clothes at home or when you don't have to make a good impression. If you wear fancy clothes to Taco Bell, you're probably going to feel a little awkward.

Things You'll Need:
 - Nice Clothes
 - Manners
 - Cologne(optional)
 - Charm
 - Hygiene
 - Hair Products(optional)

Hi, Martha!
I can't say that I particularly enjoyed this holiday. You know that I just love walking tours and I've been on quite a lot of them, but this one... I guess I should explain why I think that it's not for you.
First of all it coasted me a fortune. I don't know what I was thinking of, but I assumed that it must have been worthy of the money I pay. Well, it wasn't! The food was great, but terribly expensive, the hotel as well. It could have been better organised, because we even had to wait for our rooms in hotel to be prepared once (we got there way too early, I must say).
Second: the physical part of it. The company should have warned me about all the hills I had to struggle with. By the end of the trip I was absolutely exhausted and constantly angry, sometimes I couldn't even feel my legs! It might have helped if we had walked more slowly, but our guide acted like he was terribly late and payed no attention to my complaints. A nice guy, actually, but he got us lost at least three times.
However, the company was great. They are very nice people, you know, everyone has something interesting about him. But that is not enough to lure me into going with them once again.
Anyway, it's your decision, and if you want to get in touch with these people I can give you their phone numbers.
Love,
Jenny.

... Indeed, without a strong cooperation of government and art dealers the priceless pieces of ancient art will be either destroyed or condemned to putrefy and get lost in private collections without a chance to be seen by common people or studied by scientists. It is an international problem by  all means, and if law forces continue to ignore it people like me, who care about historical heritage, will proceed to more agressive actions.
