For that very reason, @GSElevator (https://twitter.com/GSElevator) in collaboration with John Carney (@Carney (https://twitter.com/carney) ) presents a fresh and hopefully thoughtful look at what it means to be a man today. Stop talking about where you went to college. Always carry cash. Keep some in your front pocket. Rebel from business casual. Burn your khakis and wear a suit or jeans. It's okay to trade the possibility of your 80s and 90s for more guaranteed fun in your 20s and 30s. The best public restrooms are in hotels: The St. Regis in New York, Claridge's in London, The Fullerton in Singapore, to name a few. Never stay out after midnight three nights in a row... Unless something really good comes up on the third night. You will regret your tattoos. Never date an ex of your friend. Join Twitter (https://twitter.com/GSElevator) ; become your own curator of information. If riding the bus doesn't incentivize you to improve your station in life, nothing will. Time is too short to do your own laundry. ? When the bartender asks, you should already know what you want to drink. If you perspire, wear a damn undershirt. (http://www.businessinsider.com/howtodressthepartonwall street20138) You don't have to like baseball, but you should understand the concept of what a pitcher's ERA means. Approach life similarly. 1.8k Like Email REUTERS US EDITION (http://www.businessinsider.com?IR=C)
