weird dealbreaker.
nathanieljames:
A girl I was seeing was really into cross-stitch, but not any other arts and/or crafts. Is it strange that this was a factor in my decision to stop seeing her?

8. Be yourself.
A gentleman need not prove himself to be anything other than who he is.
A gentleman is no one else than himself.
7 (also 6a.) I've said it before, but Chuck Bass...

sufjanssteven:
Ladies (gentlemen?), please shed some light on the love affair, because it’s completely lost on me.
Agreed.
This is an extension of #6, but really, Chuck Bass can have his own number, altogether.
On the subject of Chuck, not the actor portraying him: He is a sharp dresser, has (sometimes) decent manners, but is NOT a gentlemen.
Perhaps he will turn out to be...
6. Womanizer, womanizer... Gentlemen are NOT...
Lady’s man and Lothario are on different sides of the same line.
The word “gentleman” no longer applies when said man is a womanizer.
How could it? A gentleman is considerate of other people’s feelings, not to mention, takes care of his own self.

5. Gentlemen don’t “try too hard”. They make an effort.
This can be interpreted for any aspect of one’s life.

4. Things Not To Call The Ladies
If you want to call yourself a gentlemen, refrain from referring to women as bitches, heffers, sluts, prudes, hoes, or ¨the C-word¨ in generalizations, jokes, or recalling of stories.
If a girl is your friend, and is ok with you calling her ¨bitch¨ the way that she is ok with her girl friends calling her that, then that is up to you.
Telling stories like, ¨and then we rolled up to these bitches...
3a. Flattering fit and wash.
To add to downhillupriver’s point, when it comes to jeans—and pants in general—fit is of the utmost importance.
If you go too tight, you get male camel toe. That’s a no-no. You don’t want to display the goods for the world to see.
If you go too loose, you start looking like a common hoodlum. Your boxers start hanging out, and not everyone wants to see your...

3. Boys Who Like Girl(´s Jeans)
Gentlemen, please! If it suits your body type, then, fine, wear girl jeans.
But, don´t let it be so obvious. The trick is, you do not want girls, and in some cases, other men, to know you are wearing women´s jeans.
Exhibit A: Some people are very loyal to their favorite brands. Say you had gotten the first pair of Seven For All Mankind´s A pocket jeans, with the ¨A¨ embroidered on the back, or...
2. Be prepared for civil discourse.
The art of discussion is essential to gentlemanly affairs. In accordance to that tenet, I have enabled comments onto the website!
Also, in the spirit of discussion, please welcome downhillupriver as our provider for feminine perspective on the issues we discuss.
Gentlemen, stand up and applaud her arrival. A woman’s word is quite important to our success as better gentlemen.
It’s...
1. Get a nice jacket.
I want to get this off the ground before New Year’s Eve.
If you’re going to impress anyone on New Year’s Eve, you’ll want a snazzy jacket to stand out from the crowd. It’ll be the first thing that anyone notices on you on that cold night. Get one that is seasonable and fashionable.
A basic peacoat is great for the occasion. It is the quintessential winter...
Welcome to "Year of the Gentlemen."
