"Gentleman's demeanor" in Britain is the general name of a series of behavior norms such as British male behavior, civility and courtesy, and respect for women. This unique code of conduct for men has been recognized and appreciated by the world.

The gentlemanly manners of English men are manifested in their attention to appearance and hygiene. British men usually wear casual clothes on weekdays. No matter what you wear, you pay great attention to neatness and color matching from head to toe. Generally, British men's clothes are darker in color, while shirts are more eye-catching. Dressing neatly is considered as a sign of self-discipline and charm. When British men go to work or meet important friends, they all wear suitable suits and polish their shoes to show their respect for others. What impressed me most was that English men's clothes were always clean and their shirts were always white and spotless. Through the observation of British friends, the author found that they have to take a bath twice and change their shirts almost every day, and there are several pieces of the same underwear. British men also attach great importance to dental hygiene and go to the hospital to wash their teeth regularly twice a year. Dirt in the teeth and bad smell in the mouth are all manifestations of poor cultivation.

Gentleman's demeanor is also reflected in English men's speech, tone, gestures and sitting posture. When English men don't understand each other in conversation, they should say "I'm sorry" to signal the other person to say it again. I have an English friend named Kevin, who is a musician. Every time he talks to people, he sits up straight, his gestures are harmonious, his movements are not big, his tone is moderate, and he looks very graceful, which invisibly increases his personal charm. In Britain, when men talk to people, they make a lot of moves and make a lot of noises, especially when shaking their heads and swearing constantly, which will be considered rude without education. He is likely to lose friends because of such indecent behavior.

Respect for women is a concentrated expression of British gentlemanliness. In public, it is very uncivilized for men to grab seats, especially with women. No matter in shopping malls, subways, buses or offices, men should ask women to go first when they come in. Now British men don't have to say "ladies first" polite words, but use a friendly and elegant gesture to signal the ladies to go first. When I opened the door, I met someone behind me, especially the lady who was about to walk in. You must wait until the lady comes and grabs the door before you leave. When driving through a bus intersection, if possible, men usually let women go first, and women usually wave their thanks to men. At night, sometimes women are taken care of by men when driving, and they will press the safety warning light two or three times to express their gratitude. Once, a lady's car was crowded in the motorcade and it was difficult to pass. A man saw that there was still a distance behind his car, so he immediately backed up and politely signaled the lady to pass. At the moment of passing by, she smiled, took off her sunglasses and waved her thanks to him. This scene of urban civilization is unforgettable.
