What my father taught me as a young woman: When I was 18 he took me out to a fancy restaurant (just he and I). He showed me how to drink, how to use the right forks and knives, the napkin, how to allow the man to pull out the chair, etc. I never forgot that wonderful gesture. It must have been tough for him, being a horse trainer and cowboy. But I learned what to expect of a gentleman and how I deserved to be with one.

"In a world of Andrew Tates, you be a Cary Grant" - absolute gold. Thank you.

James, I am a 73 aged man and my father taught me all of these. You are so right about this and I hope Gen Z brings all this back. I want to see people appreciate dressing well and acting well in the future.

Young man, your channel crushes it. As a therapist specializing in men’s issues I salute you.

I taught my son : " Alcohol, like any other drug, is bad for your health".

[larrydrozd]

My dad taught me: 1. The drink you start with is the drink you finish with. NEVER mix!! If you start with a vodka drink, stay with vodka. 2. NEVER get sloppy drunk or lose your cool when drinking. Drink to socialize, never to get drunk. 3. News Years Eve is a giant, money wasting scam, stay home! Have friends over and do a dinner or small party. Don't go out on amateur night. 4. Always be polite and mind your manners (that my parents taught me). You will stand out in all the right ways and people will want you around. There are plenty more but these are just the socializing tips he taught me. My dad just passed away in May at 91, I think about these things a lot now.

The most flattering compliment I’ve ever received was from girlfriends of my two sons who thanked me for raising them as true gentlemen. My father raised me well and it feels great hearing that I’ve successfully done the same with my boys.

The most important lesson my father taught me but never outright said it is always exude inner confidence. There’s nothing less attractive than person doesn’t appear to feel comfortable in their own skin and is downbeat…

When my son was 17, I bought him a navy blue Hickey Freeman suit, making sure it had enough fabric for sleeve, waist and hem alterations. (He was 6'1" then, now 6'3"). Excellent purchase. He's worn it for many occasions and all seasons.

I recommend that every young man purchase a good quality navy blue suit.

James, you know this is a topic I'm really passionate about. For anyone whose father was MIA or maybe just imperfect on imparting these lessons, fatherhood represents an opportunity to break that cycle and create a new legacy, both for ourselves and the next generations of young men.

I taught my son and daughter to greet people with a firm handshake and look them in the eye. My son (15y) met a friend of my wife recently and nailed it. I was so proud. He shook hands like he was a gentleman. Afterwards, I complemented him and he told me he remembered me telling him that it was important to do that. I almost cried…

Gent Z, the timing and editing is terrific. A number of chuckles await the Gent Z faithful.

One of the most important videos for any young person to watch. Too many people at my school refuse to take pride In their appearance with shirts untucked ties barely tied on and all of the buttons done up on their blazers. I am happy to say my father taught me most of these basic things.

As a 50 y/o I absolutely enjoy your content. You have a new subscriber from Mexico City. I’m learning a lot and how you make sound the English language is inspirational. You are helping me polish mine.

My Dad was in the army and taught me many sartorial skills like: Ironing and pressing (yes there is a difference), polishing shoes... but the one that always sticks with me is...how to tie a bow tie. On top of that, the three standard tie knots: Windsor, Half Windsor and four in hand along with the correct collar spread.

[BigFootTactical]

This guy just screams elegance. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to be as proper as this man. Amazing vid

I am so thankful you come out with a video at the right time!

A couple of months ago, I was doing renovation work at a Chinese restaurant. I happened to notice a young couple having lunch at a table in another section of the restaurant. The young lady was casually well-dressed and quite attractive. Her date on the other hand... his outer 10:10 shirt was untucked and unbuttoned... his hair was uncombed and due for a trim. And worst of all, he was wearing a ball cap pulled down low on his head. I felt bad for the young lady as I believe that she deserved more respect from her companion. I also felt bad for the young man. I wanted desperately to take him aside and politely give him advice on style and courtesy, especially regarding wearing the hat while seated. I decided that it wasn't my place to correct him, but silently thanked my luck in raising two sons who know how to conduct themselves.

My dad taught me never, ever, under any circumstance, talk to a cop, unless youre telling him you want a lawyer.

At my age now which is 72 back in my very young days it was all about manners and courtesy.
Any adult was either Mr or Mrs, Miss until such time as you were given by them the choice to use a Christian name .
Please and thank you were bye words .
A whole lot more goes with this .
Celebrating was done modestly and polite and sincere congratulations were offered minus back slapping and high fives .
