According to [How to Be a Gentleman: A Timely Guide to Timeless Manners](http://www.amazon.com/How-Be-Gentleman-Timeless-Manners/dp/1401603351/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1252680779&sr=8-1 "A book which I regard as an essential reference") the crotch is the polite way to go.

Get him a copy of "How to be a Gentleman". The book is small, compact, and teaches essential manners in large, bold type. It is appropriate for all ages, though it admittedly skews more towards adulthood than young adulthood.
No one is going to care what you look like if you have boorish manners.

Read this book. As well as this book. Watch this movie.
Take lessons from these. But most importantly, be passionate about something. That's how you begin to discover yourself (in a good way).
