The basic of Chivalry
In addition to the aforementioned rules(General Etiquette), gentleman should follow these additional rules when in the presence of a lady. Chivalry may be on life support, but it not dead yet. Be one of the few to keep this flame burning for many years to come.
ALWAYS OPEN DOORS
This is perhaps the most basic rule of male etiquette out there. It is also one of the easiest to follow so you have no reason to forget it. Whether she is about to enter your car, restaurant, club, or anyplace with a door, you should always hold it open. If there are many doors, then hold them open one after another.
PUT ON HER COAT
Always help a lady put on her coat or overgarment. This is a simple but powerful action.
HELP WITH HER SEAT
If an unaccompanied lady is sitting next to you,it is important that you help her be seated by pulling her chair out for her and gently pushing it back into place, with the lady seated of course.
GIVE UP YOUR SEAT
If a lady arrives at the table and there are no available seats, you should stand up and offer yours to her.
STAND AT ATTENTION
Always stand when a lady enters or exists the room. This rule has been somewhat relaxed, so you can stand upon entrance but remain seated upon exit. Nonethelss, if you cn do both, you should.
GIVE HER YOUR ARM
When escorting a lady (that you know) to and from social events, you should offer her your arm. This is a little more intimate, but serves well when walking on uneven ground-especially if she's wearing high heels.
ASK IF SHE NEEDS ANYTHING
This is one that most guys already do, but helps complete a gentleman. When at social events, make sure to ask the lady if you can get her something to drink or eat, (depending on the event), show her that you care about her comfort and needs.
Gentlemen, if I may call you that, these are the rules of etiquette you should observe in everyday life. Elevate yourself above the rabble and display the mannerisms of a true gentleman. The world will appreciate such a rarity and your career will most definitely benefit from your good manners and savoir-faire.
