4 Tips For Being A Gen-Y Gentleman

4 Tips For Being A Gen-Y Gentleman



1 Be open And willing to communicate.🗣

Guys, if you want to be taken seriously as a gentleman, you will need to be an effective communicator, or at the very least, make an honest effort to communicate.


This goes far beyond the stereotypical male gender role of being dominant and making all the decisions -- it means you need to be an active listener.

This applies to women you're dating, hooking up with, are friends with or simply running into on the street.

Be willing to listen to her point of view whether it involves sex, her day, her opinion on a movie or anything else that could possibly come up during conversation.

If that sounds simple, it's because it is.

2 Always be respectful.👌

This honestly shouldn't even need to be said, yet it unfortunately does. 
Millennial women are harassed online at alarmingly high rates, and many are consistent recipients of rape and death threats. 
Obviously, there is never an acceptable time to threaten the emotional and physical well-being of a man or woman.

To be direct with the guys reading that, it's all right if you don't agree with something a woman says — just don't be a dick about it.

3 Show that you care. 😃

We are all human beings and all go through a range of emotions. There is absolutely no point in hiding yours and pretending to be the stereotypical "tough guy."
When specifically addressing your partner, show her that you care no that doesn't mean buying her something nice on Valentine's Day or her birthday, that doesn't really take much effort.

Write her a letter just to let her know much you appreciate her or let her know you have faith in her. There's numerous ways to show genuine affection.

If she's having a bad day, listen to her talk about it and offer thoughtful advice if she asks for it.

If there are times when you're wanting to have sex, and it's clear she's in a terrible mood, take her emotional state into consideration and don't try to guilt her into sex. 
It's really the thoughtful things that make you a gentleman.

4 Respect her intellect. 💑

If you want to be a modern day gentleman, respect what women have to say. 
I've seen numerous occasions where a woman's idea was ignored, and when later repeated by a male, was thought to be wonderful.
You can't even consider calling yourself a gentleman if you feel women cannot be as intelligent as men. 
In fact, you probably shouldn't even consider yourself a man if you believe that. Again, don't be "that guy."

Just do everyone a favor and give credit to women for their intelligent thoughts and opinions. 
Again, you don't always have to agree with what she has to say -- just don't discount her based on her sex.

In all honesty, it's not that difficult to be a gentleman. If you follow these basic guidelines, you will be well on your way.

20 Powerful Self-Care Quotes to Help You Feel and Be Your Best

Image
Hi friends! I decided over this long holiday weekend to give myself a break for some much-needed self-care, which I imagine we could all use right now. We’ve all been pushed, stretched, and challenged this year. We’ve all given our all, done our best, and perhaps wondered at times if it was good enough. That’s the thing about difficult times—we often make them so much harder by expecting a lot from ourselves, pushing ourselves, and beating ourselves up when we fall short. We expect ourselves to always be happy. Or productive. Or confident. Or present. Or there for other people. We expect ourselves to always be at the top of the game even if we sometimes put ourselves at the bottom of our priority list. But we can’t possibly be all of these things all the time, because we’re not perfect, we’re human. And to be human is to be messy, inconsistent, and full of contradictions. To have days when we knock it out of the park and days when we stare at the park from our window. In pajamas. ...

Here are nine ways to improve your emotional regulation skills: Choose your mantra. ☯ Decide what you will say to yourself the next time your frustration bubbles up to the surface.

A good talk can dissipate stress, make you feel understood and give you a good outlet to vent.  “Find your tribe or community where you can share challenges, laughs and strategize on how to solve problems you have in common,” Kris says. Practice self-compassion. 💝 How often do you give yourself a soft place to land in your mind? Self-compassion is the practice of treating yourself as you would a best friend, and when you are kinder to yourself, you are kinder to others.

12 basic rules to find love

12 basic rules to find love Just because the whole world seems to obsess about romance during one day in the middle of February, doesn't mean you have to. For happy singles, it's a good excuse to eat chocolate. But if Valentine's Day has you thinking about finding love, the holiday could be a good motivation to start. Our experts offered these 12 tips to boost your chances: 1. The ‘You’ll find love when you’re not looking’ approach may be wrong. That’s like saying, “You’ll find a job when you’re least looking for it,” said Pepper Schwartz, a relationship expert and sociology professor at the University of Washington. It’s possible, but rarely happens. “For the most part, people who wait for a job are unemployed,” she added. “For me, it’s just an excuse for being scared to go and put the effort in. Yes, it happens, but no, it’s not a good strategy.” Schwartz does agree with the underlying sentiment of that saying: Don’t be desperate. Put the effort in to find someone, but do...
