1. Always Be Polite: Even if someone is in your face, don't stoop to their level. Being polite and couteous shows that you're the better man.
2. Don't Curse Around Ladies: Swearing in front of women or children means you don't have the vocabulary to express your thoughts appropriately.
3. Don't Shout: Shouting, or talking over others, raises the stress level and implies you don't have the intellect to garner attention.
4. Don't Lose You're Temper: When you lose your temper, you are showing everyone that you can't control yourself, which is never manly.
5. Don't Stare: Ogling women is poor form.
6. Don't Cheat: A relationship is a pact a man doesn't break; if it isn't working and can't work, end it; if you do that before accepting other companionship, you'll be an honorable man.
7. Don't Spit: Spitting in public went out with the spittoon.
8. Respect Your Elders: Always be polite; use sir and ma'am when speaking to an elder you're not on familiar terms with.
9. Don't Laugh at Others: If someone spills a drink or trips, help them. Don't chuckle unless they do.
10. Take off Your Hat Indoors: Remove your hat when you enter a building or sit down to eat, and don't put it on the table.
11. Wait for Everyone: When sitting down for a meal, you should wait until all the guests are properly seated and served before eating.
12. Always Open Doors: Whether she is about to enter your car or a restaurant, you should always hold the door.
13. Always Help a Lady with Her Coat: This is a simple but profound action.
14. Help Her with Her Seat: If an unaccompanied lady is sitting next to you, help her be seated by pulling out her chair and gently pushing it back into place.
15. Give Up Your Seat: If a lady arrives at the table, bus, train...and there are no available seats, you should stand up and offer her yours.
16. Stand for a Lady: During formal occasions, stand when a lady enters or exits the room or table.
17. Give Her Your Arm: When escorting a lady to and from a social event, you should offer her your arm.
18. Ask if She Needs Anything: When at social events, make sure to ask the ladies if you can get them something to drink, a seat, or whatever.
19. Dress Better than the Occasion: A man who dresses slightly better than the crowd gains a little moral superiority.
20. Have Impeccable Hygiene: You can have dirty nails when you're splitting wood, but not when you take your lady's hand.
