How to succeed in business or with brunettes or blondes they're all important missions, wouldn't
you agree? well, here's one way to tackle the brunette problem see what you think first of all be late that will show her you're a busy important person that you're not too interested in her play hard to get, after all your worth
waiting for. this will make a great first impression Then, laugh it off apologize ah, come on, don't be a square okay, now the topper show her what a sense of humor you have
by holding her coat just a little bit too high that's right next, be masterful, protective grasp her arm firmly and steer her down those steps to the car she can see that you are the aggressive
masculine type what are you doing opening the door? You'll spoil your image Oh, that's better. Treat her as an equal, women like that besides, if you're late, there is no sense wasting time on things she can do for herself let's face it sometimes it's just not
enough time for good manners doors afford a continued supply of
chances to make an impression on your companion don't pass one up, it's always good for a laugh and an opportunity to show off your leadership
qualities how? by leading the way, going first. Naturally! That's a boy keep leading the way good naval officers always lead their men or their women in this case when you get to your table sit down immediately shows you're relaxed help with her coat? well, you helped her on with it besides it's her coat, she should have
checked it anyway oh yes make sure you're seated so you can see
what's going on too makes for a much more interesting evening now, here's perfect opportunity to
demonstrate your independence remain seated after all it's not during working hours and you are doing him a
favor by presenting your date to him on the other hand she should be impressed by meeting a
senior officer hmm, no question about it this young lady will be grateful for
such a lovely evening with a charming person like you that's one approach to the problem of
how to succeed with brunettes suppose we consider another way and see what you think how about starting by being on time not just for a date but for any social engagement or
business appointment this indicates you are a dependable
business like person that the appointment means something to you and let's face it a good looking girl isn't going to wait
around too long for anybody too many young men on the prowl make it easy for her to slip into her coat hold it at the right height that's being thoughtful watch them hair if you muss it, you're going to lose points no, you don't grab her arm you offer assistance if she needs it or wants it she'll take your hand or perhaps your arm but once the need for assistance is past
she'll give it back to you so don't be surprised yes doors do offer an excellent chance
to make a good impression it's a way to show your respect for
ladies or your seniors for that matter thoughtfulness, making things easier for someone else this is at the heart of good manners and in the heart of every gentleman besides it's the way to succeed with brunettes ladies first it's an old saying but a good one ninety
percent of the time of course if you're going to bring a
restaurant or something comparable and there's no maitre'd or hostess to lead
you to a table then you would lead the way and select a table she'll expect you to help her off with her coat and arrange it over the back of her
chair so it's not all over the floor no, she shouldn't have checked it it is common practice for a lady to wear
coat to the table although if she indicates a preference for
checking it that's fine too there, she has an excellent view of the room good thinking you want her to have a good time and being able to see what's going on will be half of the fun if you have a visitor and you probably will when you have a
companion like that stand to show your respect for a senior or a lady this isn't just military etiquette it's being a gentleman and you present a man even if it's the admiral himself to
a lady respect again it's his pleasure to meet her in this case there isn't much doubt about it check the menu with your date and if you have any knowledge about the
specialties of the house or know of particularly good dishes let her in on it but once you have both decided you do the ordering well that's another approach to how to
succeed with brunettes looks like a winner, wouldn't you say? let's take another typical situation going to the theater. you know, there seems to
be something wrong here ahh that's it he's walking on the wrong side wonder what his next move will be. A taxi and that means a door and that means, yes sir, this fellow's a born leader one thing you could say, he's consistent
isn't he? but wait a minute, what's happening here? the girl out first? well, I guess he boxed himself in by getting
into the taxi first. Ah, too bad. But he'll make it up. That's right, pick the seats you want pardon me sir, sorry about that now settle down and enjoy the movie. nothing like a little snack to add to the fun and your neighbors will love you what do you say we go through the situation
again the right way the way that's successful with brunettes that's more like it you walk on the curb side at all times or on her left and when you part company or meet a lady a salute is the proper greeting or farewell it's the same thing is tipping your hat
when you're in civilian clothes believe me, the brunette is impressed that's right, ladies first it's a good rule most of the time and logical if you consider that the
reason is to make things easier for the lady now here's one of those situations where
the lady doesn't go first the reason you go first is to make
things easier for her to open the door and assist her in getting out of the automobile it makes sense just as most gentlemanly traditions do right, its her decision on where to sit, not yours if you want to make a good impression be considerate of the other person
adjust your preferences to hers and if you feel you must nibble on something during the show at least do it quietly out of consideration for your neighbors well, you're squared away on how to succeed in restaurants and
theaters let's take another situation a small gathering in a home or officer's club uh oh... i have a feeling we're going to
see anything but the right way to do things anyway the necessity for making and acknowledging introductions occurs frequently it should be done correctly but I wouldn't bet on it in this case Mrs. Ruer I'd like you to meet Mary Jackson and Midshipman Williams.
A perfect introduction man presented to lady. looks as though
he's going to ring her hand off, doesn't it? and who knows whether she wanted to
shake hands or not of course she had no choice his hand was
out quicker than a waiters in a nightclub oh hello there I'd like for these good looking women to meet you. Mary, this is Mr. Prin, Mr. Prin, this is Mary how do you do?
Good evening, Mary Mrs. Childs, Mrs. Ruer, I'd like to have you shake hands with the commander Mrs. Childs, Mrs. Ruer ugh its almost unbelievable, isn't it? this young man puts bad manners
back-to-back first he calls a senior officer Mister, instead of by his rank he still doesn't get on his feet and he presents the ladies to the
commander instead of vice versa and I do believe he was going to ignore
the two ladies completely if it hadn't been for the commander well, we better run through the whole
thing again the right way because you do want to be successful with those brunettes, right? We have three children.
Three children? How old are they?
22, 19, and ...
Excuse me Mrs. Ruer, I'd like you to meet Mary Jackson and Midshipman Brown How do you do, Mary?
How do you do, Mrs. Ruer?
How do you do? Jack is in your husband's battalion Oh, good evening, Commander
Good evening Mrs. Childs, Mrs. Ruer, Miss Jackson this is Commander Prim
How do you do? I believe he was aboard the Consolation
when your husband was, Mrs. Childs that's all you succeed in being a
gentleman and impress brunettes wait until a lady offers her hand and shake it briefly firm, but not crushing you get on your feet for a lady or your a senior in rank or age as a matter of fact it's good manners to
acknowledge of introduction to anybody by rising perfect, the senior officer addressed by his rank you're on your feet and the man is presented to the ladies a good way to remember this is to mention the names of the ladies or senior officers first in the introduction in a case of introducing one person to a
group just follow a simple practice the single person is introduced to the
group if this group had been larger you would
have said this is commander Prim then ticked off the names of each member
of the group Nice to meet you How do you do? Alright let's consider a more formal situation
the receiving line it looks as though we're going to get
a lesson in how not to succeed in being a gentleman let's see how it goes Hi, I'm Charlie Williams, how are you doing? Mrs. Kaufman, may I present Midshipman Williams? Mrs. Kaufman, brilliant, nice party. Glad you invited us.
Midshipman Williams Oh hello there admiral, how are ya? Nice party. Nice to see you Oh say, weren't you on the on the Salmon if my memory serves me correctly during the Korean War? The hell I was, Mr. Williams he's making points with the admiral but what about the girl? he went through the line without even
thinking about her she may as well as come alone i wouldn't give him much hope for any
success with her other than that what do you think about the rest of his
behavior? more important still how do you think those people feel? let's take this situation again the
right way you'll note that the young lady does not
hold your arm that is correct and you walk on her left as you near the line allow her to move ahead no handshaking with the aid or escort however the first person in line maybe
the host or hostess at times so if the hand is offered take it of course that's a very simple rule just wait until the other person offers
to shake hands Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Kaufman Midshipman Miss Jackson this is the way to go through a
receiving line if an aid or a dance chairman or some
similar person heads up the line you do not shake hands further, as in all handshaking situations you wait for ladies and seniors to extend their hands before you shake hands your date precedes you in line as usual it's ladies first and you move through the line quickly with no stops for conversation this just isn't the time or the place
to be talkative your remarks maybe how do you do sir Good evening, sir or similar brief or courteous comments after the line well, let's take a look here's a beautiful way to succeed with
brunettes at a dance, at a party wherever you may go leave her to shift for herself
occasionally she'll appreciate you all the more when you do return heh, sure she will when you are with her be affectionate show her and the other people present
just how much you care for her. She'll love it if she happens to be an exhibitionist and for goodness sake don't let anything or anybody spoil your fun, and don't get stuck being a nursemaid for
somebody else's date let him worry about her a good way to make an impression is hold your partner tightly, moving all over the dance floor, she'll love it want to dance all night with you Shall we rest for awhile? I feel as though I'm coming down with a cold or something. Maybe you could take me home and then there's the right way to do things make sure your date has a good time meets and dances with your friends at other times your place is with her be considerate that's your main obligation and if another young lady is left alone
for some reason standby until her escort appears consideration for others, kindness this being a gentleman dancing. this is good duty, no question about
that enjoy, but be in good taste show respect for your date and her reputation
reputation and she will respect you success with brunettes or blondes or just about anybody is built upon respect and being a gentleman is to command respect how to succeed with brunettes be a gentleman
Sure seems like the voiceover was added later, for humorous effect.
