Internal Beauty - Acts of Gentleman

Can you guess our concept for this post?

From our teaser video in our previous update, I bet you can guess our concept for this post on Internal Beauty! 

YES! ACTS OF GENTLEMAN!

noun.  chivalrous, courteous, or honourable man

eg. he behaved throughout like a perfect gentleman  

 

 "But WHY is being a Gentleman part of internal beauty?"

There are basic factors for Inner Beauty like Confidence, Kindness, Friendly, Compassionate, Sympathetic... and the list goes on which can be applied to both GIRLS & GUYS. We, GIRLS, believe that GUYS should be Gentlemanly, which is a BIG plus / bonus / up in their personality & can be shown in their actions. 

 

Since we've already gave some fashion / style tips for the GIRLS in our first post, we felt that it was only fair to give the GUYS some tips on inner beauty too! Inspired by PSY's Gentleman music video, below are some GOOD and BAD Acts of Gentleman by Lusheng & Mingjie respectively!

 

1. The Door Initiative

Of course, in the acts of gentlemanliness, the door is definitely needed. Above, you can see Lusheng's initiative in opening the door for Chelzia and her thoughts are"Wah, he's such a gentleman!" There! You've achieved a part of inner beauty, simply by opening the door for a lady, in fact, anyone!

 But, on the other hand, look at Mingjie! Being a douchbag by not only closing the door on Chelzia, but also doing it on purpose! Guys, take note, if you do this, your inner beauty is definitely not there, since it's not respecting for anyone.

2. The "Magical" Chair

Here is a good example of Gentleman acts, especially in restaurants or dining area (school might not be the ideal place though) Before Chelzia took a seat, Lusheng helped her pull the chair out and let her sit, before he sits down with her. There! Another bonus inner beauty act is achieved!

But there might be some pranksters out there who thinks it's funny / entertaining to pull out someone's chair when they're about to sit. NO. Not only is it ungentlemanly, it might hurt the other person. So, everyone out there, please refrain from doing this!

3. The "I'm cold, so... (lend me your jacket)"

This example may not be shown directly from the other party, but you know... just give them the jacket when they show that they are cold. Qianwei felt cold and approached Lusheng without directly saying that she's cold. Through her actions, Lusheng understood & immediately took off his jacket and put it on for her! Look how happy she is! So, guys, when a girl shows that she's cold, just give her your jacket without being asked too directly /begged / asked many times.

However, some may be a litttttle selfish as they think "Hey! I'm cold here too!". When Qianwei approached Mingjie without directly saying that she's cold, Mingjie not only did not lend her the jacket, he zipped it up even higher! Yes, she can approach other people, but still... How ungentlemanly...

4. The Closed-Too-Tight Bottle

 

You know those times where bottles are closed too tightly & you can't open it? Yeah, this example shows how guys can be a litttttttttle bit more gentlemanly by helping them out to open the bottle. Queenette, who had difficulties opening the new water bottle she bought and approached Lusheng. He gladly & easily open it for her! Such small acts can definitely ease some people's life. 

 But on other times, some people may misunderstand your difficulty for something else. For example, Queenette had difficulties opening the new water bottle she bought & approached Mingjie BUT he just drank the water when asked to open it instead..... how ungentlemanly. Take note of such people & give them specific instructions the next time, or maybe there's no next time....

 

5. The Dramatic Trip-Yet-"Picked"-Up

 This may not happen too often in reality, but if it happens then, you'll see whose the real gentleman & who's not. Qianwei was running in a rush while looking at her watch, despite seeing, Mingjie stretched his leg out purposly. Of course, Qianwei didn't see it & fell. Upon seeing, Lusheng came over to pick up her stuffs and helped her up. As you can see, Mingjie was the ungentlemanly prankster while Lusheng was the real gentleman to help her after that.

 

6. The Lift, Too Late 

 This may happen to anyone a few times, where you're maybe late for class or rushing to somewhere else on another level & the lift closes on you in a matter of seconds but a good Samaritan / Gentleman holds / presses the lift for you! Phew! Your chances of being late has been reduced! Queenette is rushing off to somewhere else and confidently the lift was closing on her as soon as she reached the door. Luckily Lusheng noticed her & opens the lift door for her. Good for her as she met a passenger who is gentlemanly enough!

 If luck is not on your side, then you'll meet this group of people who closes the lift even after they notice you rushing for the lift. As Queenette rushes for the lift, despite Mingjie noticing her, he still closes the lift door! How rude & ungentlemanly...

 And this wraps up some examples of acts of a gentleman.  

 

From opening the door to opening the lift and helping a friend / anyone with small random acts of kindness. By being a gentleman, you're a package of kindness, friendliness  selfless and many more factors of inner beauty! See? How being a Gentleman can be a complete package of inner beauty? Although being a "gentleman" is a common word for Guys. Girls, you can also incorporate a few of the examples above to show inner beauty too!

 

OHYAYY! If Lusheng can be a Gentleman, why can't you? :)
