if you like dressy and work in that environment you should probably do it with less conservative flair (take a peek at the sartorialist). don't show up in a BB suit looking like a banker...

I think Easons on the right track, where they're probably mocking you only because they're actually insecure, might be a good plan to work off those insecurities.

I like how he puts it back on the other person, and they immediately realize that they were being douche bags.

I rarely receive comments, especially when i'm around my friends but surprisingly yesterday I was taken off guard by some manly-chick in a bar who asked me how long it takes me to do my hair.

when people ask me why i dont have a girlfriend, i say its because it would be a disservice to all the other ladies out there.

or when they say why do you want to travel, i reply with i feel its wrong to keep looks like mine in one spot and not sharing it with the world.

i get weird looks and then they burst into laughter. i do not know what is funny about these comments.

The word "gent" is in your screen name, thats like expecting chaste from a girl named Heather.
