I love that you touched on walking on the side closest to the street when walking with a lady. That is something I was taught at a young age. I go out of my way to do that. It was something my wife noticed and loved when we went on our first date. She never had a man do that for her. Unfortunately, I don't see a lot of men doing that anymore.

One of my favorite tips is when speaking to a group, do your best to have your back to a wall, or back to the bar and let the group surround you. It set you as the center of attention even if you aren’t speaking. And anyone looking from afar will think so as well.

There is an another “s”: Surrounding”. A gentleman is very aware of his surroundings and knows the appropriate way to conduct themselves.

The music bed you chose for this video is perfect. Masculine, elegant, and cool.

When you are addressing someone, make sure that your body is facing them and squared towards them. This applies to whether you're standing or sitting. This shows attentiveness to them, you're not afraid to place your vulnerable centerline (where all the physically vulnerable body parts are) at them, and you visually take up more space because you are at your broadest, if that makes sense.

I think one of the lessons that has helped me the most is dont slouch. This comes into what you were saying with in your point "space" whether sitting or standing, it also plays into "stability" where keeping an upright posture is more comfortable to maintain over a long time and I find I do not need to adjust my posture if I am standing erect. It also conveys an air of confidence to those around you

I make a point of shaking hands when greeting a fellow man. I detest a limp handshake in return, but it is sadly very common.

[jellyroll]

Loved what you said about moving slowly. That is my husband to a tee. He is very deliberate and decisive in his movements, including his speech. He rarely messes up or breaks things, unlike myself, who is always flitting around like a butterfly and prone to clumsiness. I do know, however, that the best way to look ladylike and composed is to sloooowwww doooowwwnnn.

Never extend your hand to shake a woman’s hand, unless she extends it to you first., And NEVER go in for a hug when greeting, unless she approaches you first. Always keep respectful space, unless it’s a relative.

Love what you said about the sidewalk. I always did this in dates instinctively, and the primary reason I remember it is because the girls I dated would point it out from time to time. It shows you are considerate, protective, and thoughtful.

As someone who is 1.9m i can say that its impossible to walk without your head looking down....or else you will kick things or stumble and fall all day long

[RockTo]

As someone who is uncomfortable with eye contact, I have a set of rules that I follow, which is great to add to those mentioned here. At a checkout, after paying, then then receiving the receipt, I will make eye contact as the cashier hands me the receipt. Perhaps a smile... but I do the eye contact for at least 2 seconds, but no more than 6 seconds.

...and it works well.

This information has given me more self-confidence in social situations. Thank you.

[CasualCasimir]

Thank you for the help sir. The slow walk and movement la without being afraid to make your presence know is what has helped me in a positive way.

Watching your "classically masculine" series I've thought about how it's not easy to make these changes just by force of habit. I think all the things you've pointed out we should change are symptoms of underlying moods or perceptions about oneself. For example, if you seem to fidget a lot and have a hard time staying still and steady, like you mention, it means you're probably nervous or alert. So moving a lot would be the symptom resulting from being nervous, and I think it would be a lot easier to focus on calming down and relaxing, instead of just trying to stay still (you'd stop moving, but would remain nervous and tense).

Another example would be talking slower like you mentioned in a previous video. I personally struggled with this beacause I worried too much what people thought of me, so I wanted them to know what I was thinking as soon as I did to get validation (or to adjust my thoughts if I had negative feedback). It's interesting how I talk so much slower, seem calmer, and stopped saying so much unecessary stuff after I spent a while working on not caring what others thought of me. Treat the problem, not the symptoms.

Great video.

I've definitely seen women react differently with me after I keep I contact when chatting with them. Little smiles, little cute expressions of interest.

[lizmikols]

These tips are spot on. I've had the pleasure of dealing with many male leaders over my career and retirement. The effective ones use these behaviors all the time. The really good ones knew how to ramp up and ramp down the intensity of each of these behaviors, according to circumstance. Bravo.
