You man hating feminist . Stop telling men what to do . Dont lecture men .
3rd guy is definitely a serial killer
Hahahaha
Let’s see Paul Allen’s room.
lol
It looks like a 1970s p**n set/s*x den. If he got rid of that s****l stuff he could actually make it look nice
Getting some Family guy Quagmire vibes for sure.
Judging bachelors homes is a fun topic. Please, make more videos like this, I love it!
This dude is so polite and so savage at the same time, I love it hahaha
A true sign of intelligence.
Very arrogant
@@chilldoc9638 no that’s just what British people sound like 😂
@sterlingarcher74 no this dude is definitely kinda stuck up about himself. Maybe thats a side effect of being british.
@@Taylor_5724 That’s alright. Not everyone’s perfect.
"the good examples may inspire you, the bad examples may equally inspire you"
this way of phrasing yourself is exactly what i enjoy most watching your videos
your channel is like a long forgotten mindset
Thank you, sir. That's a wonderful compliment
I agree - his diplomacy and tact are sorely forgotten skills these days 👍
@Azur_Vita - It's that dry British humour! ;)
blackout curtains= day sleeper
Yes, but he had them in both the living room and the bedroom?
@@djlivvy46 The daylight is for peasants.
@@djlivvy46back when I use to work overnights, I wouldn’t even make the effort to make it to my bed and just crash on the couch.
@@freshtoast3879 - or maybe he's a vampire? 🤔
They just look like cheap thin black material, they don't look like they would stop much light
That’s the home of Buffalo Bill, from Silence of the Lambs 😂😂
It puts the lotion on or gets the hose!
JOE DIRT
American psycho
Definitely got a sewing machine and a basket of lotion in the basement
“What we don’t have in common though is the gimp mask over fireplace” best CZcams quote. I’ve seen in a long time.
I would happily watch an hour-long video of you analyzing male living spaces
It is easy to know a true gentleman by the way he delivers criticism. Bravo.
It's called being a minimalist. There's no shame in this. Some of us can barely afford to pay our basic bills and aren't too concerned about "picking up babes" (or "bringing home women" as you call it). Maybe when I get that six-figure raise, I'll worry about my place looking like it was furnished by the Great Gatsby.
This is definitely not minimalism. 😂😂
lol, well, I didn't say it was good minimalism.
Hey Gent ! I’m a woman … and I like all your videos … because I like the classy, stylish vibe … and your great sense of humour … quite hilarious sometimes :-) 🎉
Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying them
10:00 The artist is Patrick Nagel, who indeed also did the cover for Rio by Duran Duran
It's amazing what a nice rug, proper curtains, a small book cabinet, at least 1 piece of art, a coffee table (games console hidden in the cupboard under the TV) would do to the first house livingroom. It would transform it massively. I wouldn't mind a house looking like that, like my student house did in my early 20's. By the time I was 30, I was a little more 'house proud'.
If you're hanging something nude on your wall, better make sure the photographer was at least Helmut Newton (or of comparable quality).
By the way, the pictures in the stairwell are not only similar to the Duran Duran cover, they are by the same artist / graphic designer: Patrick Nagel.
Depends how much energy you want to expend impressing other people.
Exactly, the guy is still very young, bit naive.
"oh dear" comment at first bedroom-- I laughed for almost 10 minutes! your channel is great!!
Patrick Nagel art prints in 3rd home Quagmire guy.
"Why is this not safe for work? It's meant to be a house?" The the reveal. That really made me laugh!
A really nice video format :) I'd be interested to have you rate mine haha
Send over photos! I have few people asking me to do that now so it might become a video. Gent.z.style@gmail.com
@@Gent.Z - Great idea for a continuing theme! You could even offer it as one of your consultant services. You'd do a roaring business! ;)
I am a lady and I enjoy this channel. The apartment with the leather sofa and the Persian rug was the best one. I'd run out the bathroom window if I were invited to the 3rd one with the mask and the mannequin.
I can watch this all day. It's your restrained judgements that make this work.
James, I like this video. The unscripted format gives a better feel of your personality.
Thank you, glad to hear it. I need to improve my impromptu speaking a little but I intend to make more videos like this
The first guy has been divorced twice and he is only in his thirties. He needs to stay as far away from women as possible.
The artwork in the NSFW 70s p*rn decor is actually really cool. The Duran Duran “style” pieces are prints of Patrick Nagel’s work, the same artist who did that cover of their Rio album. The 3 paintings of hands in the living room are prints of paintings by artist Edmund Liang. His work is mostly homoerotic, with the “limp wrist” piece being a celebration of something that’s often taunted and maligned by masc culture. I think you understood the semiotics of the other two hands… So based on that and the other very hetero pieces, my guess is the owner/renter is bisexual, or at least an LGBTQ ally, and certainly into BDSM. I think the post mentions his girlfriend is moving in soon, so it’s likely she’s into similar. The decor would just give me kinky sex-positive vibes more than anything, except for the fake trophy head of a woman on the wall… I guess that’s… um…. humour..? Yeah that puts it over the distaste line for me. But it wouldn’t take too much editing to have this place looking very retro chic.
On another note… what’s going on with your non parallel camera angle and the plant and guitar half disguising that vent and weird little door behind you? Difficult corner to dress, admittedly, but I feel like half hiding it is actually drawing attention, and worse than just letting it be plain and practical. A better option than trying to cover it would be to leave it unadorned, and instead distract from that area by arranging stronger pieces nearby. For the shot, you could probably just frame it out altogether if you straighten the camera.
I just want to say you have seriously been on point with your videos. You always have something new coming down the pipeline and I can really see you are putting in the work. Keep on that grind👏🏻
I think a series going over fictional Gentlemen’s home decor could be great. James Bond Jamaica house(Skyfall and No Time to Die), Bruce Wayne’s many homes (The Dark knight and The Batman), The Killers home (David Fincher Film), Patrick Batemans, Castle Caladan (dune part 1), The Pearlman’s Italian Villa (Call me by Your Name), Jack’s ikea apartment (fight club), Sebastian’s house post break up (Lala Land), The Malibu mansion (iron man 1-3), any of the Roy’s houses (succession). They’re all full of plenty of inspiration for young men
This is an amazing idea! 😍
Have you considered a video discussing how to follow your advice on a budget?
good idea!
No Lady would ever go into that first bedroom
I somehow doubt that he is looking for actual ladies. Females, perhaps, but no ladies...
Fun fact: The plant next to the TV at the second guy is a lego set.
Candy Loving 25th Anniversary and Playmate of the Year 1979 - does fit the 70’s decor.
I really enjoyed this format and always love to hear about interior design (just saw the 7 items video as well). And nice to see some of your humour in this
9:20 - The subtle serial killer aesthetic!
This is funny as Hell. I can’t ever image taking some dudes advice how to live in the house I’m paying for. I’m 53 and my entire house looks like a teenage headbanger from the 1980s. I have over 3000 CDs, 1000 vinyl records, DVDs, five book shelves all over the place. Also autographed music posters covering every wall in the living room, hallway, bedrooms, and even some in the kitchen. As far as lighting there’s Christmas lights everywhere YEAR round. Instruments in three rooms maybe 25+ guitars. The walls are all painted lime green, purple, or black. Not to mention several taxidermies deer and elk and gun racks.
I think that sounds fantastic. Men like this are part of why other men feel uncomfortable decorating their places.
25+ Guitars? BRO That's crazy.
I am am single man and I have gone through my phases and finally found what I like. I live in a house made in 1890 on 2.5 acres that I raise chickens, ducks, and pigs. I live with my dog and my cat(who is more like a dog) and I never really cared about styling and interior decorating but I have been really into it lately trying for a old school southern gentleman styling but still trying to stay modern(I do game sometimes so I do have a nice PC setup). My house is a hodgepodge of furniture that my parents gave to me that I grew up with that they were going to throw out and pieces that I have bought myself over the years. Call it nostalgia or trying to hold on to my past but I can't seem to get rid of some pieces as I grew up with them. They feel like a part of me. This was a great video of dos and don'ts. Thanks for sharing and thank you for what you do! God bless!
You don't have to keep every single one of the pieces. Are there any at all that you can part with?
You can take photos if that will help you to hold on to the memories.
The music for this video is so perfect! Well done. Your music is always top tier but there was just something special about having that gentle piano music playing in the background while seeing all this chaos up front lol. It was a winning combination 😄 Thanks for doing this! Keep it up!
One of your best videos!!! And WTF some of theses dudes need to do some growing up.
Re: the Richmond Folk Festival. It is the major annual music and arts festival here in Richmond, Va, USA. The posters have become local collectors items; the other posters also look rather "Richmond". So I would say that for a 20s budget, they do give it a strong "sense of place" or at least highlight one's interests (e.g. ecclectic music), even if it does seems quirky. The key to any art, though, is making sure they are properly framed (if prints) and otherwise properly hung.
great video sir! as a young man from greece I really appreciate your content for cultivating masculine elegance. You should post more !
I'd love more interior design content, if that's what you have planned then I can't wait!
You should look into Feng Shui if you haven't already.
could you make a video on handwriting and penmanship? Ive struggled with trying to write in a sophisticated way and not like a messy child. Also I liked the review style video a lot and I think an r/mensfashionadvice video would be good
Benjamin Franklin suggested to work on your signature first.
… those are 80s Nagels
used on Duran Duran album
mate, love all the videos but this one was hilarious. great job
This is the video I didn’t know I needed. Make some more home review content!
While I am a bit older than yourself (and I believe the target audience), I have to say you have created a very enjoyable vibe for this channel. Your taste and knowledge are typically spot on and I enjoy how you add just enough tasteful humor. And the smooth Jazz background music is perfect, would love to know what music that is (I’m sure you’ll agree there’s nothing worse than videos with valuable content but backed by music so horrible you turn it off and unsubscribe). As for decor, I always like to compliment the architecture of the space. When I lived in a modern condominium, I decorated in mid century modern (not quite as well as you). Once I moved to a turn of the century house, I went for a more of a simplified art deco / 1930s’ vibe. Keep the good videos coming.
Richmond folk festival is fire
Do more of these types of videos. Nicely done! 😊
That's Nagel art. Same artist for the Duran Duran Rio album cover.
I personally like minimalism. My house is more like a “cabin”, rustic design, it’s really just a vacation home I bought near a resort. I try to have art on the wall themed to the area, and one painting of my dog that passed away.
I appreciate you not pulling any punches. Two of those were horrid.
Love your channel.
Thanks.
lol this format was hilarious, please do more videos like this. What would your recommendation be for those of us living in extremely small spaces? I actually live in a 19 ft travel trailer but there's probably a lot of people living in small studios who have limited options when it comes to aesthetics.
I live in a studio myself so I will definitely talk about this in the future
It would be a great idea if you review apartments/ homes of your subscribers , it would be a really interesting and hands on video idea . I've just converted my room into an 1960s bachelor pad with a bar and a stereo system , if you want i can send a couple of photos in .
Send them over! Gent.z.style@gmail.com
@@Gent.Z Done
You are very sweet and polite. I am thinking terrible and mean things about what I'm seeing, and yet you still try to be calm and nice about the views.
Thank you. This was in my recommended CZcams videos and I have shared it with my 27 year old son.
Did not expect to be so entertained by this video.
id like to see more of the good ones, i need inspiration for my new home :D
That was one creepy living space. Sheesh. What the he ll.
Depending on the situation, divorced people should get a pass. They're probably scrapping by and/or finding the pleasure of being a resourceful minimalist.
Well this guy has a Tesla so he loses that card I'm afraid
Yes, I see your complaints. I painted one of my walls with "determined orange" from Sherwin Williams and also bought two Tiffany Lamps? I also have a nearly 3K custome made "Gypsy Scarlet" Sectional from Jonathan Louis Furniture In LA. Not too bad. I have some generic copied oil paintings from Menards on the walls.
i really enjoyed this.
this was hilarious!
Oh my god...the funniest line so far appeared on the screen when he checked the comments for that 70s sex den room..."I think one more ball gag would really tie the room together...". LOLOL
I tip my hat to the funny person who came up with that gem. Lol.
Got a good laugh out of this video, definitely review your subs places!
can you do a video on artwork? different styles, how little, how much, etc. Looking to get some but I dont know whats a cool statement piece and whats tacky, also what rooms to have certain paintings in and if pics of family or friends is gay or weird etc
VERY entertaining!
Very nice. Keep more coming
What I learned is a lot of men live in drug looking dens. Also 100% would run but I'm also in design so I'm rather sensitive to spaces and how they make me feel. Having intentionality, warmth, practicality, personality, design is important for me
Great video... love your discerning critiques.
PLEASE DO MORE CONTENT LIKE THIS, GREATTT VIDEO😊
These videos are great. Keep this going!
Can a poor guy with one room kinda small apartment live like a gentleman? Greetings from germany❤
Of course! You can stamp your personality on any space, no matter how small.
Do they have thrift stores and Facebook Marketplace in Germany?
That was fun, for some reason I enjoyed that. I’m single and live in a small bungalow built in 1952, I take good care of my home. And am quite proud of it.
I have had girls tell me they went to a guys house for the night they didn't even have a second pillow...or the sheets were dirty ..some guys didnt even have a bed they slept on the couch...what in gods name did these peoples parents do...?
I can't really judge them tbh (other than the guy with the dirty sheets). But I've also reached a point in my life where I realize that I never really needed much to enjoy my living space. Too many people buy furnitures just so they can fill up empty space, not because they need it. I'm single, and i move around a lot. Doesn't quite makes sense to have a full sofa set, television stand, bookshelfs, a whole aray of seating and storage arrangements, etc. I've gotten rid of 75% of my stuff and I'm still not happy at the fact that i can't fit everything into my truck and head out to some place elsewhere
The second was the best. I'm certaily not in this age group, I'm in my early 40s. I'm at the moment a bachelor too. My house is in Classic style.
It's funny how the criteria here is how many women will like the place. Better hide the videogames and computers or women won't want to hang out here!
Yeah right, good thing I decorate according to my own interests, not hypothetical women. As a result, I'm actually comfortable in my place.
What woman under 60 doesn't have a bunch of electronics and fun things around their home? I don't like this hypothetical woman bs, because all of the real woman I know including myself have gaming set ups, shelves of collectables, stuffed animals, board games etc.
I agree with you with respect to nude photography. The ones he has look like Playboy centerfolds. However this doesn’t apply to art. I collect art and love French impressionists and contemporary paintings many are nudes.
I still don't know if I would have that type of art in my living or dining room though?
@@djlivvy46 I agree. It is a very polarizing thing to have.
9:32 - Ah, yes--Patrick Nagel! He, indeed, was commissioned to do the Duran Duran "Rio" album cover. Nagel's beautiful illustrations appeared in "Playboy" in the early '80s, but got very overplayed later in the decade--and numerous tacky imitations didn't help. I think I removed my prints around '91 and never looked back.
I realized after making this that it is the same artist. His style is very cool. Not what I would put in my home but I can appreciate it
As a night person, I think blackout curtains is a must. The living room didn't look like a drug den to me (although I don't understand why someone would need blackout curtains in the living room) but the bedroom 100% did haha. Maybe it's because the curtains doesn't look like curtains there, it looks more like some black cloth patches covering the windows
Most of the artwork in all these homes was hung too high....8-10" off the top of the couch is the most pleasing
I actually really liked the last one aside from the bed. I actually think it did display some personality, but to each his own. (The plants, the art, the overall aesthetic. Etc).
It was strange because all of the components were there, but they didn't seem to be connecting.
@@djlivvy46 yeah I guess better than most folks place that I’m used to seeing. Idk it’s kind of like me having $2,000 in my savings and dismissing how “bad” some houses look, meanwhile the house costs like $800K so way out of my budget.
Who am I to judge? My home is so bare bones. I live in a 1980s trailer. 🤣
Love this idea of looking at other aspects of a gentlemans life!!
When i was single, the way i approached most things was, what i like and never much worried about what anyone else including women would think.
Ive always leaned towards western and practical. A couple of paintings/pictures nothing extravagant and basic but comfortable furniture. I agree a coffee table is important!!
Since 90 percent of my time was spent outside when i was home i just wanted a comfortable place to sit, read and sleep. 🤷♂️ still to this day I dont have cable. Radio (listen as well as transmit), and reading.
The one thing ive always had and still do is stuffed animals. My kids have always bought them for me and even when working in a max jail i had one close by. Keeps me honest thinking about my little ones watching me.
As well not bad to cuddle with on sleepness nights. 🤷♂️ Instead of keeping my now wife awake.
Women like to know you can take care of them and yourself, also like to know you have a soft side too. 😉
Never forget who you are!!
Cheers, beers and whiskey 🤠 🥃
The "very respectable" rug and sofa look like hand-me-downs.
i wish it was longer
The artwork in the hall is Nagel it says it on the bottom of one. They remind you of that duran duran album because Patrick Nagel is the artist who did the cover art.
Okay, the third guy is most def someone to party with.
I found that subreddit a month ago and it's fun to listen to someone else's opinion on the posts there.
Excellent video, especially of how important our environment makes of us as a person.
This video presents an idea of doing a full gentleman makeover guide video I believe you should do in the future. Turning around young guys into polished gents in discussing fundamental aspects such as mindset, etiquette, grooming, fashion, fitness, and lifestyle in one practical course-like video here at CZcams.
I'd like to think about it like Terrence Young showing Sean Connery the good life to fully transform him for the role of James Bond before Dr. No.
Ambitious idea really 😂 but nonetheless, I'd still constantly watch and learn from your videos.
3rd guy watched way too many times a clockwork orange
I think you should have regular uploads of you just doing this for men's apartments and maybe having submitted closets for clothing feedback.
Kmsl 😂😂😂😂 man yo im looking at the thumbnail & im like whats wrong with this then i seen the cardboard box😂 then he got the smile upside down bruh that took me out😂😂😂😂 i had to click to see whats going on.
crazy that people like you still think gaming is unacceptable as a grown man 😂😂😂
Any advice on how to manage a small room?
I try to have my workspace and guest space but it gets cramped easily
Need any advice on how to create a comfortable vibe without sacrificing practicality in a small space I can't afford to change
Lol you ought to see my cousin’s house. He and his sister, despite having quite artistic souls deep down, are rooming in this duplex and have the most appalling tone-deafness to interior design I’ve ever seen in my life. Imagine a large puddle of rainbow sherbet lying in the middle of a dank basement floor. Combine that with a king-size bong stickerbombed with nudies. I love those two dearly but I genuinely feel uneasy in their house for the sheer amount of hateful decor.
Yeah, the nude posters are very college dorm like. Like, I had a nude poster of a chick that I put on the inside of the door and so if anyone came in the door was open and they couldn't the other side. 😆
I think the last place was cool without being tacky for what it’s worth
You need to do a video where you show them what "good" looks like in these same low price points and assuming they're rentals. What we really hate is gratuitous, unnecessary ugliness. For very little more expense and work you could have something pretty damn good and practical, even in a one room studio.
Suggestion: Artwork with a bit of colour!
i enjoyed this video a bit of humor :D
I'm not spending money on my apartment when almost all of my time spent there is asleep. Also women will never be coming over other than maybe my mom, so eh.
