Today's guest-post is from my good friend Noah. Below is a picture of Noah being classy during his graduation photo shoot.
In today's culture something we are lacking is class. Many people do
not know how to handle themselves with dignity and classiness. Fear
not. I have compiled a list of classy traits you can adopt and bring
your social status to the next level. and have some fun too.
10. Know your style: if you don't care how you look, you should. Get
advice from a friend. Find out what you look good in, and stick with
it, but don't be afraid to experiment. DO NOT be obsessed with clothes
all the time. This is an irritation to most people. Find balance. I
found it helpful to pick a friend with similar taste and ask "would
THEY wear this?"
9. Hygiene (nailed that spelling the first time *self five* ): This I
shouldn't have to even say, but many people do not take care of there
general composure. D-E-O-D-E-R-A-N-T.
=P don't be a germaphobe thought. and be relaxed too. walking around
with a comb in your pocket 24/7 just makes you "that guy".
8. Manners: This will score you major class points with anyone. P's
and Q's will open doors, makes friends, and look good on your resume.
7. Be outgoing. It is very unclassy to sit in a corner, put on some
obnoxious music, and say nothing to anyone. There ARE times for that.
I know I have them. But don't make it a habit. This is the single
biggest key to making new friends and keeping old ones. They're just
as nervous or even more nervous than you are.
6. Two Words: Bow Tie. ALWAY classy. Bow Ties are COOL. get a REAL one
if you know how; if you don't..........learn how. Man points here. ;)
5. Get a suit. Or a tux. or just a button up and tie. Looking classy
in classy gear is essential to your repertoire (extra tip: use big
words). Second hand works if you don't have money lying around. I sure
don't. Choose wisely, but dare to be different...but no camo suits
please D:
4. R-E-S-P-E-C-T: There was a SONG about this. Learn it. It's catchy.
Listening to people is always a good start. If you don't agree with
them, don't start a fistfight. Talk to them, or even just say nothing.
Just remember: they have a whole life you have never seen. You don't
know their circumstances or life situations. Don't be judgmental. but
do learn to draw the line at stupidity.
3. Know your boundaries: A person's business is theirs. Don't stick
your face in it. If someone tells you something in confidence. NEVER
TELL SOMEONE ELSE WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION . Not cool man. Not cool.
2. Have fun being classy. It IS fun. Make it fun. and relax too. Don't
be stiff. That isn't fun
1. RESPECT YO LADY FRIENDS. SINGLE, MOST IMPORTANT POINT: (ladies,
respect your dude friend too). If you wouldn't say it to your sister
or mother, don't say it to someone else. Be confident. that's someones
WIFE someday. He will find you. and he will kill you :{
Bonus: beards are classy. Keep them that way.
