Like a Lady

Are we neglecting the proper etiquette on purpose, or do we just not receive the proper education in acting like a lady?

Over the last couple of weeks have a very specific subject been pocking at me. I feel like most of us have heard someone say “where are your manners”, or “that is not very ladylike”. I hear it a lot. Mostly things like sit straight, small bites, women don’t hold the glass like that.

While I might be more observing in how I sit, eat, talk, and act around others, many doesn’t know what is appropriate and what isn’t.

But then another thought hit me. Why is this no longer part of every girl/woman’s education. Back in time, no matter is you where simple or not, many women used time on helping their daughters look and act like ladies.

I’m not saying that you should wear a dress suit, a big hat, and short heeled shoes as if you have to drink tea with the queen, but just the small understanding there is to knowing when to say and do (and wear) specific things.

when meeting someone for the first time, should you really go for the slightly see through shirt, or maybe something a bit more covering out of respect? Is it smart to sit with your legs apart, looking like a trucker with swollen balls? Is it right to hang your shoulder when sitting down?

I’m not going to tell people how to act or what to do with their life. That is not up to me. But there is one thing I want you to keep in mind.

Every girl that loves being a girly girl, wants to be treated like a princess by the man she is with. She wants a guy that acts like a gentleman all the time, but if you don’t act like you deserve to be treated like a princess (and here I mean etiquette and manners), then why should a guy do it?

Just something to keep in mind next time you sit in the couch, looking like a hunchback, or eat like a starved beast.

It doesn’t hurt you (or even change the person you are) to do a bit of more ladylike things and I might do a post with small tips and things that may help with it. Remember to stay safe. Kisses.
