A true gentleman is revealed not only by his manners and outfit, but through his actions. A gentleman keeps his cool even in stressful situations. Here are 17 things a real gentleman does differently.
1. A gentleman does the right thing when no one is looking.
2. A gentleman is a man of character and not of reputation.
3. A gentleman lifts up those around him, never keeps them down.
4. A gentleman may not always agree with others, but he respects their opinions.
5. A gentleman knows a soft-spoken word speaks the loudest.
6. A gentleman knows the right thing to do is rarely the easiest thing to do.
7. A gentleman knows being average is unacceptable.
8. On matters of style, a gentleman knows which rules to follow and which ones to bend or break.
9. A gentleman doesn't conduct a cost/benefit analysis when deciding how to act ; he does the right thing because it's the right thing.
10. A gentleman always leaves everyone better than he found them.
11. A gentleman never puts others down in order to build himself up.
12. A gentleman may be overdressed, but he is never underdressed.
13. A gentleman knows how to make a solid breakfast, even if he can't cook.
14. A gentleman listens to the advice of older, wiser men.
15. A gentleman is willing to take the blame, but also shares the credit.
16. A gentleman realizes that as good as he gets at something there's always someone better.
17. A gentleman understands that the term consists of equal parts "gentle" and "man" and doesn't allow one aspect to supersede the other.
