What manner did I miss from the list? Comment below!

I'm starting to think I'm addicted to learning about style.

"Old Money" is an informed quality. I went to business school with a really nice humble guy, knew everyone in the year and half the people one year up or below by name, had something good to say about everyone and never gossiped, liked to pick up the tab without telling anyone and would take time out of his day to look over subjects with the people who didn't get it after the lectures and connect people he knew to others who shared their interests.
Years later it turns out he's got a name they named streets and squares after in the city and his family is probably more flush than some small nations since they've been around since the 1500s. But they'd be the absolute last to ever mention that to you.

At the time, I had been with my girlfriend for roughly two months and the holidays were rolling around. I received a nice sweater from her parents. I knew the brand, and knew that it was a bit on the pricy side. I took the time to sit down and write out a thank you note to them. Her parents were pleasantly surprised, and to this day they still hold me in high regard compared to past boyfriends and her sibling's significant others. Gents, it's a quick and easy thing that makes a huge differences! Thanks for another great video Antonio!

My Mother taught us that proper grammar and use of language is what separates us by class in the English speaking world!

Yes, please do a table manners video. I had a home-ec class in high school ages ago and it was not as long as it should have been. It was also an elective class. I know some things about table manners but I definitely need a refresher video to make sure I'm still on the straight and narrow! Thank you for the work that you're doing to help elevate your audience. I've gotten good information out of your videos and I'm glad that once upon a time I stumbled onto your videos.

A great masterclass on making introductions is in the film “Vanilla Sky” during the scene with Tom Cruise’s character’s birthday party. He’s going around, schmoozing with his guests, making introductions between his guests and his staff, and of course, introducing himself to Penelope Cruz, who’s come as his best friend’s date. It’s shot and acted with the precision of an orchestral conductor.

I remember as a child used to get scolded for walking into my Aunt’s office and not greeting and introducing myself to everyone In the room. I learned that showing that initial respect, keeping eye contact, and listening more than speaking leaves a lasting positive effect. I can confirm, people will love to have you at all of their events when you build a reputation as a well mannered individual.

Thank you Antonio for all of your insights! Keep up the amazing content!

Hi Antonio: when I travel I bring small gifts with me to give out along with a monetary tip. A restaurant or hotel manager my not remember you (since they meet so many people) or remember the tip you gave them (since everyone tips them). However, they remember the guest that gave them the gift. I once saw a restaurant manager who took great care of me smoking a cigar. Before living town I sent a small box of cigars to the restaurant for him. When I went back and was told I couldn't get a table... I asked for him, he remembered that I sent him the cigars and he sat me and party shortly after. It impressed my party as well and I made a new friend. A small gift goes a long way.

Your videos provide masculine encouragement & you are a positive role model. Antonio. As a freshman in hs, I still hadn't found my way to a solid group of friends, my parents were going through a divorce, I was just lost, without a role model & badly in need of an honorable masculine example. I wasn't the best player on the school team, but the coach (& vice principal) still treated me like I was in important person, I got into some trouble at school & he gave me the benefit of the doubt, built me up & encouraged me, what a huge difference we can make in the life of a young man, if we keep our eye open, find a kid rudderless. I'm hoping to do this for someone else as he did for me!

All your techniques have assisted and advanced my military career and federal government service. Even assisted me in serving on a credit union board of directors. Thank you so much for keeping these traits relevant. Love all of your topics

[douglasdietz]

While in public, never scratch yourself. Never touch your face. Keep your hands out of your head and facial hair. Stop biting your nails. Basic manners every 5 year old needs to master. It's appalling how few adults are aware or just don't care about basic manners. Presentation is important. Remember that.

[OrdoNekro]

A table manners and etiquette video is an absolute must; nothing gives you away more than your plate.

[plaubelmakina]

I go just a little beyond when saying thank you to the checkout people I interact with. “Thank you have a great rest of day” while making eye contact seems to be enough to let them know you are engaging with them and not just robotically saying thanks while not even looking at them. I made it routine do that every time I interact with others to overcome coming off as rude and uncaring. Doing that has helped me be less awkward and changed my personality for the better.

[profwilliams]

You always have great information. Many of these are also about confidence- the confidence to not talk about money, the confidence to remain calm, deescalate, the confidence to admit that you don't know everything and are open to learn new things. "Old Money" teaches their kids this, so it's just how they are. But thankfully, for those who don't come from "old money" they have you to help articulate and visualize their ways. Thank You!!!

There's a great quote by master penman Michael Sull where he reflects “If the Declaration of Independence was written as an email, how special or personal would that be?” And I think it's the same with hand written notes. The effort taken to sit down and put pen to paper with a nice envelope or with a fountain pen etc. Makes that thank you note even more important and special

[Rockafella]

Love these commentaries on proper behavior. As a business man I do EVERYTHING you said here. I had to painfully figure it over many many years, but this works guys. What this is is YOU becoming a man of value. Value to others. Which means you are useful in a litany of ways. Which means you have to go beyond your ego and have a service mindset, when executed authentically, comes back full circle. Tapping into humility is a great way to rise about the ego and others will put you in a pedestal… you should never attempt to put yourself on a pedestal. Only other should do that. Now, the exception… when you are the host, but by default that’s an automatic and necessary position, but again, a great host has a properly oriented humility. Great video as usual.

[Regalour]

Great video! It's not your clothes but it's your manners that define you.

[vineetasware]

Hand written notes made me stand out and people do remember me

[waynetravers]

Outstanding suggestions, Devil Dog. You’re truly an officer AND a gentleman. One tip I’ve learned from working in an international organization: It’s very “American” to ask what someone does for a living, so I’m always cautious about broaching that topic when meeting or interacting with non-Americans. Semper Fidelis!
