My boyfriend is 30 y.o owner of small manufacturing factory. We are dating for little over a year.
The thing is he is extremely straightforward, non-pc and doesn't give a fuck about manners. Sometimes it becomes really embarrassing during meetings. He can say that food is okay, he can grab something and eat it with hand. He can interrupt people talking and say they are completely wrong. He is also very open and honest about usual taboo topics like religion and politics (he is libertarian atheist). Regardless of who he is meeting, be it his friends or investors, young or old, men or women, American, Japanese or Indian, he acts the same careless, indecent way.
Somehow, he manages to get away with it every time and run his business successfully. It seems that people are used to his behavior and know that he is not coming from a bad place. Still, how can I influence him to change his behavior a little bit? Make him little bit more pc. We have very important meetings in November-December, and I also want to introduce him to my parents before new year. I know he is not someone who lacks social skills, he is more gallant with me, for example. He just doesn't care.
I thought, maybe I could buy him a book on manners and how to hold business meetings? Any book or personal advices for me?

He’s been successful before you, and will continue to be successful after you.
Why would you even date him in the first place? It seems like you're in on the ride regardless of what he did. No matter what you say or do, he will be who he is regardless whether if its your parents, his parents or even your friends.
maybe you should leave him before you ruin his life
PC = financial and social suicide.
honesty is such a rarity, why would you want to ruin it for the approval of others

its monkey season OOO OOO AAA AAAAAAH
Why change his winning formula? Don’t mix his business with your aims for his behaviour outside business.
Cease and desist your reality spanning shit test, maybe
YOU WILL NEVER BE A WOMAN TRANNY
Sounds like he’s based and you’re a cunt who’s trying to drag him down to your shitty level. I would cum on your face then throw you out of my house if I were him. I hope he’s a white guy
Chek
Gobble his nuts in front of your parents, tell him to sit, and then smile.
My advice would be to make it very slobbery and a lot of soft sucking, cup the dick with your left hand.
fpbp
OP is a faggot and now back to plebbit with you.
My father is more successful, but he and his friends are not like that. I don't want my boyfriend to change completely. I just want him to slightly polish corners in his behavior.
As Ronnie James Dio once said: "Don't dream of women because they'll only bring you down."
Tell him it turns you on when he acts suave or whatever, then suck his dick.
I see nothing wrong with his behavior as described, though. Are you sure you want to change him? If he changes for you you will subconsciously respect him less. Maybe that's subconsciously your point here. A shit test.
What is a shit test?
Whatever it is, I'm not testing him in anything. I just hope he was slightly more polished in social situations.
It is said that marrying a man in the hopes of changing him is as doomed to failure as marrying a woman with an expectation she will stay the same.
I've never read a book on etiquette, unless I did in college and forgot it.
Just me that won't help. If he's better with you, just tell him that you want him to be more polite for your family, be honest and accept that he is just human, if he respects you he will make an effort when he knows it's important to you. I'm a loud mouth Christian Communist and I bet your husband has some interesting points.
Never in the history of love has a person successfully changed their partner. And even if you could they would resent you for it.
You either love someone for who they are or you love someone else.
You want your partner's behavior to change. Why? What does it get you? What is different about your experience? Will you feel more secure and certain about the relationship? Is something at threat because of someone else's actions? What is it that you actually want? And not, "I want him to be more considerate." What is it that you actually want? Do you want certainty? Because you don't find that in the ever shifting environment. Do you want control? Why? What is it about another person's behavior that makes you uncomfortable? What do you actually want? Not, "I do t want him to do x," but, "I want x." There is a world of difference. Right now you are defining yourself and your state of being in reference to something else that is not you. This is usually what people do, especially in relationships, and it is massively disempowering. Don't base your own state of being off externals that are outside of your control. Stop being the ignorant slave you were brought up to be as a result of having been born in contemporary society.
Being shrewd is how you turn heads when you're doing something other than trying to get fucked
I don't want a big change. I just want him to have a better etiquette, be slightly more considerate with people. Is it something that can't be learned?
Who needs manners when you have POWER.

Better off talking to him about it, take a page out of his book and be up front about it
Based thread. I knew biz wasn’t all autistic NEETS with no life experience and the intelligent, graceful responses in this thread prove that.
OP I know where you’re coming from - you wish he had the heightened awareness and social graces of a more refined man. You might find yourself in more awkward social settings than you’d like because he isn’t that. But let me keep it all the way funky with you - there is NOTHING you can do (or frankly should do) to change his personality. He might mellow out over time, but that’s only because that’s the way he’s maturing which has nothing to do with you. Love him for who he is, and take the good with the bad. Often the prize of being an asshole is being correct - that’s valuable in this undignified society.
Stop ruining this board and go back
lmao checked nigger
this post is retarded. You either like him for who he is or you dont. The fact you want to manipulate him into being what you want makes me think youre a piece a shit and he should find a new gf.
