1. Don’t date the homies ex.

2. Don’t throw friends under the bus to impress others.

3. when going out with friends/family and your wife/gf is with you – never mock your wife/gf or otherwise make her feel small.

4. Respect is the bottom line in every interaction & type of relationship. Fail this at your own expense.

5. when it’s night time and people are asleep. always pee on the side of the bowl so it makes less noise

6. Don’t give advice unless you are asked for it. Otherwise just listen

7. If someone offers to buy you food, choose the smaller size option, unless they tell you to get what you normally get.

8. Always keep your drink in your left hand.
   No one likes a cold wet handshake, not a great first impression.

9. Don’t stick your meat where you make your bread.

10. Having their back/defending their name, especially when they’re not around. Goes for any type of relationship

11. Treat everyone with kindness and respect. Until they prove themselves unworthy of it.

12. Be kind and show respect

13. Don’t be sorry, be better.

    Also, be the experience you want to have.

14. a gentleman never tells who sucked him off

15. Don’t punch a man (if it can be avoided) in front of his wife or kids, especially the kids.

16. Always leave them wanting more. Everyone.

17. Having respect to others. Even people who might not deserve it

18. Always keep your word, doesn’t matter what.

19. We don’t tolerate a “fuck you, got mine” attitude

20. Leave everything better than you found it. Everything.

21. Talk up your friends to other people behind their back. Only say nice things about what you actually appreciate about them. You’d be amazed at the results.

22. Don’t let insane women change who I am. Learn from the crazy and move on. Continue to be kind to women who deserve it.

23. Don’t really know if it is a gentleman rule, bro code, or just a religious education, but if a woman is committed to another, she is a no go for me. I have been cheated on before and I will not make another man go through what I had to go through. I would not wish that on my worst enemy.

24. Don’t add fuel to a metaphorical fire, be the peace and calm people need when life is becoming overwhelming

25. Protect the weak, challenge the bullies.

26. When someone is speaking to you, make an effort to listen instead of waiting to speak. There’s a difference.

27. Never take drunk what you can’t get sober.

28. Don’t touch or educate some else’s kids. Tell their parent and they should solve it.

29. Be the guy that includes under spoken people in conversations.

30. You don’t need to always have an opinion. Letting other people have the spotlight (even encouraging it , by making questions etc.) it’s another method of interaction.

    Everyone has something interesting going on. Listen.
