A Gentleman’s Guide to Staying Cool

Call her the next day.   The “wait three days rule” will always be cool to break.

A gentleman never publicly worries, complains, or comments about money.  A gentleman who is cool never hesitates to pick up a tab or loan to a friend in need.  Remember, if you’re making more than 2 dollars a day, you’re considered in the top 3% of the richest people on the planet.  

At a lunch, give your credit card to the waiter before you’re seated.  This ends the debate when the meal is finished before it even starts.

Make eye contact with a woman.  Then buy her a drink before going on your way, and leave it at that.  The transaction is over, and she’ll be left thinking about you the rest of the night.

Displaying your masculinity at the bar or club is never cool. 
The cooler you are, the less of your phone I should see.  This is not a green light for your wireless earpiece to be worn at all times. You’re not as cool as you think you are.

Don’t be afraid to make decisions, even if you’re not the authoritative type.  Call the shot.  Whether or not your gun is loaded, pull the trigger.

Stay cool by being creative on dates.  Anything is better than going for drinks.  Take her for a balloon ride, a hike, or bowling and forget to keep score.  Play cards in the park, or even steal street signs if she’s the mischievous type.

Never lose your cool.  This is very un-cool.

Throwing up is never cool unless you’re with the band.

Facebook is a public place.  Stay cool by staying mysterious.  Lose the inside jokes and status updates every 30 minutes. And that picture from college of you with a funnel, standing on a keg, and your best friend, Pete, licking your face…untag yourself, brother.

Make your yes’s mean yes, and your no’s mean no.

Always speak with confidence no matter the subject matter.

Lose the baggy clothes unless you make millions performing gangster rap.
