Fechar
Mirroring feminine psychology, he displays attention to his appearance, and to detail, and a hint of coquettishness.
The gentleness of his manner, his aesthetic sense, his love of clothes, his feminine qualities.
By showing a feminine charm, a man can mesmerize and disarm, leaving them vulnerable to a bold, masculine move.
Be ambiguous as your body and psychology float delightfully back and forth between the two poles of male and female.

Never complain about most people’s slavish conformities. Be different in ways that are both striking, aesthetic, and never vulgar.
Poke fun at current trends and styles, go in a novel direction, be independent of what the herd is doing.
Do not be misled by the surface disapproval your Dandy pose may elicit. This conceals its fascination; what is most seductive is what is most repressed.
To learn a playful dandyism, be ambiguous. In a society where the roles everyone plays are obvious, the refusal to conform to any standard will excite interest.
Dandies are masters of the art of living. They live for pleasure, not for work; and eat and drink with the same relish they show for their clothes. Make everything an aesthetic choice.
Make every detail of life a grand aesthetic adventure, from a feast to a simple conversation. Do not impose this attitude on those around you or make yourself a nuisance. Just seem socially confident and sure of your taste. Your ability to alleviate boredom by making life an art will make your company prized.
The insolence of the Rake is tied up with his desire to conquer a woman. The insolence of the Dandy, on the other hand, is aimed at society and its conventions. It is not a woman he cares to conquer but the entire social group.
Dandies please women by displeasing them.
Make a show of bold feats people would only dream of doing. Only a Dandy could get away with such audacity.
He who tries hard to please will fail; nothing is more anti-seductive.
An obstacle in your way gives you the opportunity to prove yourself, and the creativity you bring to matters of love.
If no resistances or obstacles face you, you must create them. The Dandy needs a backdrop of convention to be appreciated for the breath of fresh air he provides.
