John Bridges: The Gentleman's Gentleman

[SifuPhil]

John Bridges wrote the book on being a true gentleman.


He did - his book, How To Be A Gentleman, is the go-to resource for men wishing to be a bit less animal-like and a bit more refined. He covers such topics as dining, dating, wedding and business etiquette - in fact, wherever you go you are presented with opportunities to show your true colors, and John can help you shine like a Simonized peacock.




His website is a repository of knowledge necessary for the modern gentleman. Enjoy.

I'm all for a few men I know making John Bridge's book required reading but it's easy to feign Proper Behavior because your gender is well versed at feigning anything in order to "score" layful:

I much prefer to see the real man shine thru several shots of whiskey or mugs of beer. Behavior exhibited during those most euphoric moments REALLY shows who the man is - lol lol lol

I beg your pardon, m'Lady, but I differ in opinion and take extreme umbrage at your untoward implications that I have repressed opposite-gender socialization desires. May I suggest we meet at the local bistro to discuss this issue over an aperitif?

... wear something hot!

I've dealt with many of those "real men" as a bouncer. If those are "real men" then I'm faker than a $6 bill.

<------Yes you ARE! - lol lol lol

If men think the girls "all get prettier at closing time", there's a few of us that think you get "stupider" at closing time and we like to just sit back, watch, and take notes on who we DON'T want to see when the sun comes up - lol lol lol

I've spent a lot of time in Roadhouses, shootin' pool and doin' my share of drinking but, believe me, I was never so schnokkered that I couldn't keep my senses as to my surroundings.

Women's Rule Number 1 --- never set your drink down out of your sight.

Number 1.1 When a female makes a trip to the restroom always ask for a new can or glass when you get back to your seat; unless it's your lifelong friends sitting with you and they're still sober enough to watch your glass. Not that I don't trust anyone but I've been like that since I was old enough to drink; I heard stories, even back then - lol lol

While I was certainly no Grace Slick (lollol), I was not a sit on the porch with my cookbook and knitting needles either - lol lol My strongest influences were my dad, who got a wrench in my hands before mom could get a frying pan in them, and my school buds who kept me safe but taught me things like drag racing, how to improve my aim with a pistol by making use of moving targets at the local dump, a/k/a big rats - lol lol

You get the picture, I think. I can make a breakfast that will sustain the working man most of the day -- just don't expect any Creme Brulee out of me - lol

Unless, he's a closet woman beater, my ideal man is the actor, Sam Elliott and he can even ride a horse - lol lol

 

[SifuPhil]

Dang, I wish I were Sam Elliott - 9 out of 10 women that I know swoon over him.

In real life he probably grows prize petunias and drinks lattes. layful:
