I’ve glimpsed through for a quality “Gentleman’s” tumblr
And not Gentleman as in porn. And I’ve come to like best, http://a-gentlemen-perspective.tumblr.com/.
It’s not about girls, it’s not about “bros.” It really is about justifiable human behaviour that borders formal, but is appropriate in any setting or lifestyle.
I just thought I’d bring this back from the grave a bit. Not to intrude too much.
I do indeed like these as a bit of a code of life. Something as a friendly reminder to myself to keep on a good track.
I’m disappointed it doesn’t say “You reblogged your egotistical self”

I just wanna say
y’all need to start checking out this site, notably guys, it’s awesome. Filled with fantastic pieces, interesting and useful information.
It’s popular enough, but if you’ve yet to comer across it, fav it, and check it out con frecuencia.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
President Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt, April 23, 1910
James, let’s go get some bitches. And by bitches, I mean nice, quality ladies.
So I’m learning to starch iron my dress clothes.
I’m kind of proud myself of being able to do this. Makes my stuff look nicer.
Holy hell, it takes a lot of work to dress nicely
So, in update to my resolution to become a gentleman, the biggest goal was dressing nicer. I figure it’s a good time to phase out of the constant graphic tee and jeans lifestyle.
So, I’m getting dressed as usual, figuring today I’d wear a polo. Grab some khakis, so I needed brown shoes, making an effort to dress. I get dressed, and decided to tuck the polo in. Just didn’t like it, so I changed to a black polo. Thought it worked.
Then I saw the fedora, and thought maybe it’ll go. Nah, just doesn’t. I thought maybe if I wore black slacks. So I changed shoes and slacks and now I’m in all black with white undershirt. Suddenly the white undershirt looked odd, so I took that off.
At least I know how to match colours.
New resolution!
I shall be a true gentleman.
This is gonna take some practice.
