They say that chivalry is dead — and the overwhelming majority of women would have to agree. While we don't expect our dates to hold the door open for us or always pick up the tab, there are some basic manners that all men should have.

The US Navy seemed to think so anyway. In 1967, they produced a hilarious training film titled "How to Succeed With Brunettes." The film was part of many tutorials intended to make their officers first-class gentlemen. While a lot of the advice seems outdated, and even sexist, to our modern ears, there are some useful tips that all of us can learn from.

Don't intentionally arrive 20 minutes late and think that it counts as "playing hard to get." It only shows that you don't seem to respect the other person's time.

Because if your date is a catch, don't expect them to wait around for anybody!
