David King Being a gentleman is difficult, if we really want to do the right thing. But there's no other way to go than doing the right thing. This is the second in the series of Gentlemen's Code. 1. Embrace colognes. The way a man smells tells a lot about his personality. Your personality is your subtle pride. And make sure your cologne is not too loud. Men don't wear loud scents. 2. When climbing a staircase, take the steps one at a time. Never fall for the temptation of jumping double time. This only means that you should arrive your venues on time. 3.
