Great video, gents!
absoluteley grat video, however if i can give you one tip. Go to the gym, not only will you walk into a room with more confidence, but you will also be taken more seriously.
My pet peeve is many people's habit of switching on their mobiles in a cinema and letting their bright screens blind me, as well as carrying on a conversation with their partner either loudly or in nerve-wracking whispers while the movie is going on. This is especially true of certain cultures that think women and animals were created for them to exploit because such psycho attitudes hang together.
I have a good middle class friend from a small town. He wont dress appropriately or use gentlemanly manners no matter how many hints I drop. What to do? He's well off, works on wall st. and is 64 years old. It's either a business suit or ratty jeans and t shirt. Nothing else! Why cant he grow up?
The "taking a cell phone call" is rather rude unless a person warns you beforehand. Better yet, turn off your cell in intimate gatherings and parties.
The cell phone speaker problem is the most unbearbeitet mistake to me. Unfortunately this misbehaviour is increasing.
Informative & helpful. Thank you.
Shaking womens hands is so important! When I was younger I went to a party and one of the guests introduced himself to a group and skipped over the women to only shake the mens hands. The woman in the group had to basically force him to shake her hand. The next morning after the host mentioned strongly considering dropping this guy cuz of the types of jokes he made I told him about the hand shaking incident. That was all he needed to decide this guy was never going be even an aquaintance.
3:13 I’m crying this is so funny…
I'm autistic and the point on seeming to ignore someone is something I've struggled even after all the work I put into it. However, I'm 100% paying attention but I'm focused on not losing their voice in the room as I hear the water in the pipes and 60 cycle hum of electricity (even worse if it's loud due to a largr group of people) and the moment I look at the person's eyes, I lose track. Either that or I stare perpetually at their eyes, and that option didn't have favorable results.
Stating the obvious. But how about providing gentleman‘s advice on how to address any digression in a kind fashion?
One of the funniest and most harmless pranks that exists on social media is "holding door too early." Of you haven't seen it, check it out, it hilarious 😅
Shaking hands etiquette, I've noticed, varies from place to place. Some people only shake hands when they first meet, whereas other people shake hands every time they meet.
Shaking hands with women is also interesting. Personally, I tend to shake a woman's hand when I'm first introduced to her, but the next times I meet her there's no hand shaking. A short hug is usually more common.
My wife and I make it a habit to always make a hand made card for someone who hosted an event or dinner with us. Most people are extremely grateful to see someone acknowledge the deeds they do. It also worms our hearts to express our gratitude.
As a Gen X er, I thought all of these were common knowledge.
In Goth Culture, a man does not offer their hand to a woman to be shaken. He will shake the men’s hands in a group.
Whenever I open a door, if it's a double door entrance, I always use the left door handle. Only 10% of the population is left-handed as am I. That means 90% of the rest of the population is going to use the right door handle. In this age of Covid, face masks, etc, it makes sense to use the left side. Check the next time you're at the post office. At mine, the paint on the right handle is worn off to the bare metal while the left isn't.
The speaker phone thing drives me nuts! There are even people in London who think watching YouTube videos without earbuds is acceptable! What I always want to know is: how does the person on the other end feel about having their conversation broadcast? Do they even know they are on loudspeaker? And what does it mean for their privacy? Back in the day, I worked with people who made a point of asking to be taken off loudspeaker before holding a conversation. Modern mobile phones have perfectly adequate ear pieces. People should use them!
3:14 no way you guys used that scream 😂
Number 5 is wrong always don’t shake women’s hand period, they always don’t want to shake hands with men but does it to avoid awkwardness
10:29 Having a functional immune system, I do not respect or pander to germophiIes.
Of course, I'm not going to sneeze directly into my hand (I've been 'swallowing my sneezes' since chiIdhood) and then try and shake someone's hand, but by the same token, if someone meets an extended hand with an attempted-fistbump, I will not acquiesce to their behavior to soothe their hypochondria; the only concession I would make, would be to raise my hand and give the ta'al (aka the Vulcan Salute, which, taken from Rabbinical practice, is itself a form of blessing) 🖖🖖🖖🖖
Remember the old saying 'give an inch and they'll take a mile: The state of the world today proves that 100% 😞😞😞😞
Elbow bumps are just the worst
Office etiquette episode?
People sneezing into their hands is so disgusting… if you're over 3 years old there's no reason to be sneezing into your hands

I like Preston’s beard. Why’d you decide to grow one?
I disagree on the speaker phone thing, if I put my phone to my ear it burns and I get a headache, I will always remove myself to out doors when taking a call anyhow.
Always hold the door open for anyone.
To a video about Gentlemen dress code to Horse races❤
To be fair, being able to consider how everyone around u feels will give u proper ettiquette
Thank you. That's a short but nice update on some etiquette practices.
Question: is holding/grabbing/patting someone's elbow or bicep whilst shaking hands patronizing?
I think there is no such thing as outdated etiquette and rules for a gentleman,and i also think that a gentleman should always follow them no matter what.
This channel would benefit from a sportier and more rugged and athletic guy, somebody a little rough around the edges, maybe someone whom they treat to a makeover..
speaking a language that excludes someone unnecessarily is very upsetting to me.
I completely agree with the first mistake, when someone ignores you, it makes you feel bad or worthless and not worthy for a conversation…
You look good with the beard growth. It’s nicely trimmed.
I'm not sure if this would qualify or even come under the category of proper etiquette, but I've been told that whenever a man and a woman are walking down the sidewalk in a metropolitan area with heavy traffic, the man should always walk on the side closest to the curb
People with their phone volume turned all the way up in a public setting is a huge one, especially when I’m at work. Even though I realize some people may not realize how distracting it is, it comes off as extremely rude. Nobody wants to hear you scrolling through TikTok when they’re trying to concentrate
❤
The cell phone in public tops my list of rude behavior, including the use of a headset that only makes the speaker appear to be yelling to himself.
Wait, guys actually DO these things?? "Raised in a barn" is a phrase that really should come back. The key really boils down to "stop thinking only of yourself".
Remember that manners and etiquette are not the dame thing. And the latter was stuff that was just made up for the sake of it
