    I am not a young man in fact I will soon be 65. My Grandfather was raised to be a Scottish gentleman, in turn he raised me to be the same. In my 23 years on the internet I have never viewed a better and more concise video on the subject of being a Gentleman. Well done and I look forward to more of your content in the future.

    I am 70 and Gent Z is correct on every point. One of the main themes here is waste: of time, money, effort. It requires maturity and focus to stay on a path that may seem austere, in order to put everything you have and do in to achieving the goal of a gentleman. But it is worth.
  • @escozez
    Listen up and learn young gentleman. As a man in his 40. I find Gent Z very sound and comprehensive. Thank you for sharing and please expand on your ideas, it helps us all. Much appreciated

    Man, I'm a game developer. I need to find a way to continue being a gentleman and test and enjoy the product of my work šŸ˜‚

    ā€œA gentleman gets his drugs for freeā€ I had to pause and laugh at that part, i like the jokes šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

    DO NOT BUY A 10YR OLD MERCEDES, you will spend more on maintenance than either leasing a new car or buying a non German used car. A 10 year old Lexus is a safe used luxury option and will last for years without any huge wallet breaking costs.

    I completely agree with all of these points. I wish my parents restricted my video game habit back in high school. I wasted a lot of time gaming that could have been spent improving myself and spending quality time with friends. I haven't touched a video game in over a decade now, and I don't miss them at all.

    I'm an older man. And I have a life that most can only dream of. This wasnt an accident. I made good choices. And I strongly agree with GenZā€™s advice. Donā€™t waste your time and money on things that wonā€™t further your goals or, even worse, are self-destructive. Before making any decision, one should always consider the long-term consequences to their health, finances, career and especially family.. If one wants a good life then they must do the things that produce a good life and avoid the things that donā€™t. It is as simple as that

    I Think Gambling is a big point to because some gambling like Blackjack on a table is fun but setting on a maschin burning money away is just wrong.
  • @BigFish-cg4lv
    Great video, I have to disagree on the video games point though. Games made by companies like Rockstar, Insomniac, and others make impactful and enjoyable interactive experiences that tell stories and teach lessons that would be too long and detailed for a movie format. Thereā€™s also nothing wrong with spending a couple hours on a good battle royal game every now and then to foster your sense of competition.

    I am 55 and am happy to hear such advice for young men. As regards video games, as a child the only electric devices in my room were a transistor radio and a reading lamp!
  • @trainluvr
    A gentleman does not belittle or argue with service workers. Take matters up directly with management, but never make a scene in public, especially with hourly workers.
  • @jjramos46
    I've said it but this channel is freakin awesome
  • @stealthz275
    as a watch nerd, I can agree seiko is the best money for value brand there is. They're also highly customizable
  • @Dub636
    Great video. I agree with the list. I would add going on expensive first dates. Itā€™s fine to spend money on a quality woman but donā€™t throw money away just trying to vet women on a first or even second date
  • @douglasdietz7503
    Right on every count. Be real. Be prudent. Go with quality. Cheers

    "A gentleman gets his drugs for free." I was beginning to think this guy had no sense of humor.
  • @the.dirty.pigeon
    Holy smokes. I too made the mistake of owning a vintage Jaguar in my twenties. It was a beautiful car and it looked amazing in the driveway, as it rarely ran. Eventually, it caught fire on the freeway. My next car was a lovely lightly used Honda Accord.
  • Absolutely amazing video. Im a middle-aged woman and sending this video to my nephews. Its very much needed. Pls make more if you can.
  • The porn issue is a lot like the drugs issue where because the elite want it and are so capable of advocating for it, they don't care about the havoc it can wreak especially for those not in their class
