I have decided to do a series of articles detailing what it is to be a true modern gentleman. This is the first of the series. Any article that has the tag, Gentleman of All Trades, will be a part of that series.

A Gentleman can be anyone. Possibly the individual to your right can be one, or the person behind you as well. Anyone can learn to be a gentleman, crafting their lifestyle for the better. Suave, subtlety and charisma are all attributes for a modern gentleman.

"Never button the bottom button!"

The modern gentleman does the best he can to better society and the lives that revolve around it, allowing himself to exert his ideas respectfully towards others. The modern gentleman does not shy away from large, ambitious projects nor does he act himself egoist. The modern gentleman is humble, and the modern gentleman is poised.

The modern gentleman is the embodiment of a better society. Being utilitarian, witty, and collected, the gentleman sets the tones for the room and allows all beings feel respected. He himself is dutiful, allowing the flow of all ideas, and the prevention of the arrogant and misguided. The modern gentleman betters society, not hampers it.

"Suave, subtlety and charisma are all attributes for a modern gentleman."

A gentleman does not assume.

Like above, a gentleman can be anyone. Maybe your coworker, quiet and refined, is a gentleman, keeping himself a secret as to not draw attention to himself. Possibly your son, sitting down at his computer, is a gentleman and you do not know it. Maybe that is why he tolerates aggression and facilitates diplomatic discussions.

This website was created to help you, reader, think about the better things, and to help you become a gentleman, but more importantly, a Gentleman of All Trades.

A Gentleman of All Trades understands the arts and sciences, as well as involves himself in polite political discussion. He understands a good cigar, a great pour, and the differences of whiskey. He keeps himself clean, shaven, and pampered. Most importantly, a Gentleman of All Trades is humble.
