To the reader: the following article is intended for the use of the bachelor, although it may have other applications as well.
We at Gentlemen, Inc. have determined that there are essentially three types of men in the world. While they all differ in various ways, each one can be classified in one of the following categories. We have compiled this guide so that our gentleman readers may better understand themselves, and furthermore, what type the wish to be.
Type A
The Type A male (sometimes known as the 'alpha' male) is most often an athletic, handsome gentleman. They excel at sport, and are often found at social events of all sorts. The Type A knows how to get what he wants, and will conquer any opposition that stands in his way. Furthermore, the Type A is a self-assured one, and is often found in a position of command or authority, which suits his natural inclinations. With women, the Type A is bold and direct. While this approach does not always work, it often does because of the self-assurance and confidence the Type A naturally exudes. A few famous Type A males include Captain James T. Kirk (pictured above), James Bond, and Mick Jagger.
Type B
The Type B male is essentially the polar opposite of the Type A male. Where the Type A is brash and bold, the Type B is quiet and reserved. They often have difficulty speaking to women (or even with social interactions in general) and as a result have to use different methods than the Type A would employ to attract a lady. They often find creative, yet unobtrusive ways to get the attentions of a lady. Despite these social shortcomings, the Type B is often more intelligent than the Type A and often has an artistic inclination, which many women appreciate. A few notable Type B males include Scott Pilgrim, musician/geek Jonathan Coulton, and any main cast member of The Big Bang Theory.
Type C
The Type C is something of an anomaly. He is best exemplified in Mr. Bill Murray. The Type C displays characteristics of both the Type A and the Type B. While he may be socially awkward or clumsy, the Type C does not display the fear responses inherent in the Type B, particularly when it comes to women. While his methods are unpredictable, they often get results. In addition, the Type C has the ability to get along amicably with both the Type A and Type B. The Type C is neither 'nerd' nor 'jock'. In fact, it could be said that he flouts the very terms, and thus he is worthy of being in a class of his own.

Movember - A Style Guide For Gentlemen
As some of you may already be aware, the event known as Movember is upon us. We at Gentlemen, Incorporated encourage you to take part in this worthwhile endeavour by participating, donating to the cause, or sponsoring a friend.
But ours is a more simple goal. Those of you who are participating may be unsure of how best to style your newly grown facial hair. Below, we have provided a selection of famous and distinctive mustaches of the past and present for your consideration.
Note: A few of the mustaches pictured are coupled with beards. This is a purely stylistic choice. While they are not mustaches in the purest sense, they were deemed noteworthy enough to be included in this list.

Welcome!
The purpose of this blog is to educate and aid men across the world in the act of being gentlemen. In recent years, there seems to have been a decline in gentlemanly conduct, and it is our aim to bring this back into the world through our information and advice presented in this blog.
Our main focus is relationships. There appears to be a lack of males who blog, and we aim to fill this void with our own brand of relationship advice for those who desire it. While our focus is on the gentlemen of the world, ladies are also welcome to solicit our advice as relates to their romances. We don't claim to have all the answers, but we will do our best to help solve your problems. All names will be kept in the strictest confidence, and any questions may be asked of us.
You can write to us and through the convenient email address located below. Don't hesitate to ask us anything!
P.S. This blog may undergo some design changes in the next
Sincerely,
The Gentlemen
