"Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot." Clarence Thomas

 

Only a Lady can attract a Gentleman (and vice versa)

Let me share 11 tips we should all know and apply:

  • Be on time. Punctuality is a great sign of respect. Being late is just a way to tell "my time is more important than yours" and that is not acceptable.

  • Ladies: When receiving a compliment, a simple "Thank you" with a smile is enough. No need to go on with "You really think I am pretty? I got this from my mother. I don't think so. etc"

Gentlemen: Compliment her

  • Ladies: Do not take it for granted if he holds the door for you, be thankful, say thank you

Gentlemen: Open the door for her when walking out

  • Ladies: Do not talk only about yourself, show interest in what the other as to say.

Gentlemen: Listen to her, be interested and ask question about her.

  • Ladies: On a date, do not assume that he will pay for both of you. Offer to pay to show that you are not here to be financially taken care of but that you are actually interested in him.

Gentlemen: Be prepared in advance to pay for both. If she offers to pay, kindly refuse.

  • Show the same respect and consideration to anyone. No matter the age, the gender, the origin, the social class. The true mark of a lady/gentleman is to NEVER look down on someone.

  • Be well groomed, check yourself in a mirror before stepping out and ask yourself "Are my nails neat and clean? Is my hair okay? Are my clothes appropriate?"

  • Make an effort in your style. You do no need to follow fashion to have style. Find the right style that suits your personality and in which you are comfortable. Avoid vulgarity (too revealing, too trashy, too tacky,...)

  • No offensive actions in public. Avoid cursing at all costs, being drunk in public, etc.

  • Ladies: Do not expect men to do everything for you, being a lady nowadays is to find a balance between being feminine and independent. Do not act like a man, let them be. But just do not expect a man to do everything for you.

  • Do not say anything negative about him/her to your friends. Neither should you share intimate details of your relationship to them as it might get back to you and makes you look like someone with no credibility.
