Takeaways:

There are three actionable skills men need to cultivate in order to be gentlemen.
Social Fluency and Confidence: Talking with People, Being a Good Listener, Building a Network.
Polish or Presentation of Yourself: Style and grooming, essentially the idea of how you show up. “How you do anything is how you do everything.” Paying attention to the overall appearance as well as the details, scuffed shows, dirty finger nails. Take pride in your appearance.
Lifestyle and Domestic Skills: Being a provider, making cocktails for guests, knowing how to cook, making breakfast, host a dinner or dinner party.
When you dive into your own interests you will meet other guy friends who are like minded. In many cases these friendships that you for when you are you’re most genuine, doing what you love will then lead you to an introduction to a woman who is also like minded and has much in common with you.
