How to speak like a Gentleman

In order to speak like a gentleman, one must first understand the proper etiquette and mannerisms associated with the role. Secondly, one must be able to speak with a clear, concise, and articulate voice. Lastly, one must always be well-groomed and well-dressed in order to complete the look of a true gentleman.

To speak like a gentleman, you must first understand the fundamental rules. It’s not hard to follow all of these precautions without becoming too overzealous about yourself. I firmly believe that if you dress well, you will look good, and if you feel good, you will feel less anxious.

As men of this society, knowing how to verbally interact with those around you is crucial. There are many instances that require an ability to speak with others, including formal professional duties, as well as less formal social settings. However, there are certain ways a gentleman ought to speak that set him apart from the casual chit-chat of ordinary men, which is vitally important to how others perceive you as a person even before they get to know you. Below are a few key points that a real gentleman should always keep true when he opens his mouth.

A gentleman knows how to speak like one. He does not let impatience get the better of him, nor does he let the actions of others provoke him into lashing out. A gentleman is kind and courteous to all, and he knows when to be calm and collected and when to be silent. In short, a gentleman is someone who will always extend you a helping hand, who will always be there for you in your hour of need, someone who will never let you down and who will always respect you for who you are.

Keep In Mind , It will only make you appear arrogant and self-centered if you talk about who you are or what you’ve accomplished.

Why You Should be a Gentleman:

In an age of Internet trolls, cyberbullies, and a constant influx of hate speech, it can be difficult to know how to be polite. However, being kind never goes out of style. In fact, being a gentleman is one trait that never dates. A gentleman knows how to speak like one – even in the 21st century, where so many people are anything but. A gentleman will always extend his hand when meeting someone for the first time; he won’t reply with insults or obscene gestures in response to offensive language; he won’t stoop to crude jest or vulgar innuendos; and he won’t give way to anger by lashing out at the other individual. These are the rules of conduct that make you a true gent — from your speech to your actions.

 WAYS TO SPEAK LIKE A GENTLEMAN

 

• Speak Slowly and Clearly:

As a young man, Winston Churchill received a lot of criticism for his speech. He was seen as either drunk or a fool, when in reality he suffered from a stammer. Today, it might be misunderstood as a speech impediment, but in the early 20th century, it was a much more serious problem. You see, a gentleman never lets his impatience get the better of him. He doesn’t rush through his order at the dinner table, nor does he blurt out his side of the story before the other person has had a chance to speak. He also does his best to speak at a measured pace, without any unnecessary stuttering. During Churchill’s early political career, he was advised to adopt a slower speaking style as a way to break out of his impediment. He took this advice to heart and used it to his advantage. It wasn’t long before he was one of the most well-known and respected leaders of the 20th century.

• Be Accurate and Exact in Your Speaking:

Let’s say you’re telling a story to a friend, and you failed to mention accurately the specific time, date, people involved, specific events that took place, or specific conversations that took place, and instead merely gave an approximation to these matters. These may seem like a trivial matter to many people. After all, who can remember every little detail of any given event? However, by lacking accuracy and exactness in your account, you may have unwittingly sabotaged your credential, making your words carry little weight in the eyes of those around you. Speaking like a gentleman means that people have confidence in what you say, and would not lightly disregard it as the rant of an ill-advised fool.

Take another example, you were asked about the housing price in your neighborhood by a friend who is looking to move there. Now, many people may not know the answer to that question unless they are in the real estate business. Do you offer an approximation using your own house as a reference? To ordinary men, this may be a logical and acceptable approach. A true gentleman might not only offer up the price of his own house as a reference point, but might even offer to confirm a more accurate figure on behalf of the friend. This kind of speaking will inspire people’s confidence in you as a person and regard you as someone whose words can be trusted.

 

•   Don’t curse:

Gentlemen don’t curse — ever. cursing is incredibly common in the 21st century, and you’ll hear it being used in almost every walk of life. From the boardroom to the playground, people are dropping F-bombs as if they’re as normal as saying “hello” and “goodbye”. You don’t have to be religious or a man of faith to see the prudence in not only keeping a clean mouth, but also instilling a sense of civility among others. Whilst there’s no denying that certain situations call for a little blue language, there are plenty of others that don’t.

•  Be Kind and Courteous Always:

The world is full of hatred and ill will — toward others and toward one’s self. A gentleman knows when to be kind and when to be courteous, regardless of the situation. He doesn’t let the actions of others provoke him into lashing out. Rather, he keeps a calm and collected demeanour that invites others to do the same. A gentleman doesn’t let rude, inconsiderate people get under his skin. He doesn’t let himself be dragged into an argument he doesn’t want to be a part of. He doesn’t let someone else’s bad day affect his own mood. A gentleman doesn’t need to be right all of the time, nor does he need to be the center of attention. He also doesn’t need to be the loudest person in the room, or the one with the most followers on social media. If a situation calls for the power of silence, a gentleman knows when to be quiet.

•  Know When to Be Silent:

As we just discussed, silence can, indeed, be golden. However, there’s a difference between silence and being a mute. A gentleman knows when to be silent, but he also knows when to open his mouth and say something. A gentleman doesn’t gossip about others, nor does he become the source of slanderous whisperings and rumours. He holds his tongue when he witnesses someone else speaking ill of another person — even if he thinks the same about that person. He knows that the best way to defend those he cares about is to let his actions speak for themselves. He also doesn’t let his ego get the best of him. A gentleman doesn’t need to be first in everything he does. He doesn’t need to be the best athlete on the team or the person with the highest GPA in his class. He doesn’t need to be the loudest person in the room, or the person with the most followers on social media. A gentleman is happy to let others shine, and he knows when to keep quiet when others are taking centre stage.
