I read an interesting article on EmilyPost.com called Essential Manners for Men: Men’s Top Five Mistakes by Peter Post… therefore I thought I would share the first with you today… and the other four in the coming weeks…
“Men can screw up in a lot of places in their lives and, frankly, they can probably get away with it. But here are five essentials which raise the hackles on the backs of the peoples’ necks. Guard against these issues and your life will take a turn for the better.
1. Table manners. For whatever reason people judge people by their table manners. Eat like a slob, people will think of you as a slob.
And, if you want one table manner above all others to be careful about: don’t chew food with your mouth open. It’s disgusting.
The fact is eating is really a social activity, a time when we join a special someone, our family, friends, co-workers, prospects or clients in a setting where we can talk and have a good time. So focus on the people you are with, think about making their experience with you the very best possible. And then act accordingly. You can bet they’ll want to be with you again.”
