The Manner of A Person

This is something I read from the sartorialist that is so very true...

The "manner" of a person. "Manner" is not something you can learn from a book. Unfortunately, it is something you just have to be or develop.

A great scene of modern manner on '30 Rock' the other day:

"Liz and Jack went out to dinner at a very chic restaurant. As they sat down at the table, Jack immediately moved the candle from the center of the table to the side of the table. Liz looked at him kinda funny, not understanding why he did that, but not really caring either. Later, however, when Liz reached across the table to steal some of Jack's food (as she always does), she realised he moved the candle so her sleeve wouldn't catch fire when she reached across the table. Jack's manners and graces were so attuned to her as a friend, that he knew her moves before she did. That tiny gesture ended up becoming the pivotal moment of the episode and changed the course of their business relationship."

Ahhhhhhh.... guys, women notice the small stuff.

They notice the gentleness/gentlemenliness more than if you own a nice ride, wear nice shoes or adorn a nice timepiece on your wrist.

liz is supercalifragillisticexpialidocious.-
