Show Off with Some Class

Men don’t want it known that they like to show off. Paradoxically people get the drift when they come parading in their pricey shoes, shirts, and other stuff. But it is maddening to watch them showing off in a disgusting manner like proclaiming that their shoes cost them a month’s wages or their carry-all is imported from Italy.

If you are guilty of this, do not panic yet. Here are some nice tips to help you show off your suit, shoes, flask, antique desk clocks, lighters, and other stuff:

* Don’t talk about price unless someone asks you for it.
* Stop cubicle-hopping at the workplace unless you’re office’s social butterfly.
* Stop looking furtively at your new suit, shoes and coat when you don this to work or to a party. This gives you away.
* Stop bragging that you got the thing at an amazingly discounted price, which is still pricey.
* Don’t ask how the shirt or shoes looks on you. It’s bad taste.
* Do not corner that girl at the water cooler and preen.
* Keep busy; they will come up and note you have something nice on or something new on your desk.
* Wear or use the appropriate item for an occasion. You do not have to put on your new aviator glasses inside the office just to announce what you have.

How to Show off Your Flask

Blame technology and superior artisanship for coming up with novel stuff like your pewter flask with a belt bouch. Okay, you want to show them off to unsuspecting women. Here is how to catch their eye without promoting yourself short or going overboard.

* When you are with your girl, show her how expedient the flask is. Explain why the belt bouch is good for your ego. Well, being your girl, you have a captive audience. She got no choice but congratulate you for your choice.
* If it is a new girl you are with, just park nautical table clocks on the table. Tell her that the horseshoe shaped container brought you good luck; she agreed to a date. Flattered, she will keep eyeing that flask and comment on its unusual design.
* If it is a guy you are with you don’t have to show off. Convince him to get one for himself and tick off the high points of owning a nice little gin jug.

If you follow these strategies, who will guess you are showing off? Not even your dog will wink.
