To attend a local dance and meet the local beauties!
To read a book or go for an evening stroll
To enjoy a glass of sherry, alone, in the quiet of your study

5

A woman refuses your proposal of marriage. What do you do?

Laugh and deliver a veiled insult that she will be too stupid to understand.
Stiffen, flare your nostrils, and in a tight, controlled voice express contempt for her response to your attentions.
Mistake her refusal for coyness and repeat your proposal again and again, more eloquently each time.
Blink rapidly and burst into tears.
Marriage? Well, if it comes to that - and the girl refuses - I suppose I could turn up the charm a little more, snake my arm around her waist, flash her a meaningful smile...

6

Who is your role model?

Don Juan
Very difficult to find a role model... everyone has some flaw I can easily discern.
My patroness, who is unsurpassed by any other living woman.
My best friend.
Me. I am the very model of good breeding, good regulation, good sense, and just sentiment.

7

A charity is set up to help the destitute at your local town. What do you do?

I give the charity an anonymous donation.
I donate a little money, then expound lengthily on the merits of liberal generosity.
I consult with my friends and family over how much to donate, but then repeatedly forget to actually hand over the money.
I don't get word of it, for I am locked up in my study with a book I can't put down.
I go see if I can qualify as one of the destitute.

A puppy.
A lizard.
A panther.
A parrot.

Something is deeply troubling your wife. What do you do?

Something's troubling her? Well, I've got my own problems...
Tease her about it.
Have her consult a social better with superior breeding.
Clasp her head to my chest so that she can feel the steady, reassuring beat of my heart... then tell her that I am here to help her in any possible way I can.
Shed a few tears with her, make a silly joke to bring a smile to her face, and have her send for her sister or some other trusted female relative who will most likely understand the situation better than I can.

You are at a small party. How do you communicate your attraction to a woman?

I trail her around the room.
I stare at her from a remote corner.
I make her the butt of all my jokes.
I unleash the full powers of my eloquent flattery upon her.
I give her a discreet squeeze to her arm or whatever other body part is close at hand.
