Step 1
WATCH YOUR MOUTH! I, for one, do not appreciate hearing foul language from anyone, but especially a man. You should have enough respect for the woman you are with that you leave the potty mouth at home (preferably to never show it's ugly head). My dad always told me that if you couldn't think of a better word than a cuss word, you needed to work on your vocabulary!

Step 2
KEEP IT DOWN. There's no need to shout or lose your temper. All that does is show everyone that you cannot control your emotions, thus you obviously can't control anything or anyone else. Who would promote you to a position of power if you are out of control?

Step 3
HOLD THAT DOOR! I know what you're thinking... "women don't want us to do stuff like that." Well, it may be true for some women, but I can honestly say that I do not know any of them. Not one! This applies to your home door, your car door, your office door, and every door in between. Best to be safe than sorry.

Step 4
WHAT IS THAT YOU'RE WEARING? Gentlemen don't dress in shabby clothing with holes in the knees and frayed pant bottoms. Gentlemen dress appropriate to any situation they may find themselves in. I'd much rather see a man overdressed than be a slob. And, always, always remove your hat when indoors. Doesn't matter if you're in Texas where people leave their hat on all the time; just don't do it.

Step 5
GET SOME CULTURE! Know what is going on in the world. Don't be afraid to learn new things, go new places, try new foods, meet new people. Knowledge is power and knowledge is attractive.

Step 6
TABLE MANNERS, ANYONE? Learn the proper way to set a table, which fork to use when, how to eat without spilling or slurping. And, for heaven's sake, don't spit! Few things are more undignified than spitting!

Step 7
WAIT TO BE SEATED! Always wait for the woman to be seated before you sit down. If you really want to be chivalrous, stand when she stands or enters the room. If you are on a train or bus, give up your seat for a woman.
