Topic: Define "Lady" | |
---|---|
Clothes don't make the person. I'm just as much a lady when I'm fixing fence in a field wearing jeans and boots as I am at the theater in heels. People worry to much about what others think. As River and Honest said we get one life just live it.

As River and Honest said we get one life just live it. Yes! Like someone else said: "When/if I find myself in those situations I have to ask myself... "What is it about me that bothers me about that person and why does it bother me?"" If my profile doesn't appeal to someone..fine..move on. Don't tell me if I just changed this or that, you;d date me.. Changing your core for someone, being fake...that's never a good way to start, and I surely wouldn't want a man that did that himself (my ex husband, back in the 80's...he did that) Also: "If you don't care for the behavior of others, you simply don't date them. I don't expect the man I'm with to change, it's silly to hook up with someone you aren't compatible with and try to mold and shape him into something else... may as well get a puppet." EXACTLY. Know what? I had 2 good men who loved me just the way I am..quirks & all.. I am a widow now, but...I know there's somneone out there for me who won't want me to be anything other than I am. And I *certainly* wouldn't expect, or want a guy to change to suit me. |

It is such a joy on here to see how people twist what is said in a post to meet their preconceived viewpoint!!
I said: She dresses appropriately for the environment she is in What to heII does that have to do with heels or jeans and boots on the farm??? When you decide to wear your grubby jeans and sh** kickers to the theater, THEN we have a problem!!!!!!!! |

So you women will embrace similar behaviors in men? Work jeans and boots out for dinner is fine? Needed a hair cut several months ago? How about overindulge in drink or excess swearing? Ranting at the bar tender because his drink isn't perfect? Somehow I think not; behaviors and appearance of those we are with are important to all of us!! We make allowances for the personal situations of others but not for those who just don't care about their offensive selves. If he’s wearing work boots and jeans, we will go somewhere where that’s ok. My bf is in desperate need of a haircut (his daughter owns a salon) but it’s not up to me to tell him to go for a haircut. He is an adult. He can drink and swear where it’s appropriate to do so. I would never tolerate bad behaviour towards another person from anyone. I also wouldn’t accept offensive behaviour but none of what you mentioned is really offensive to me. When we go out and have fun, we get noticed but not because our behaviour is offensive. It’s because we don’t care what others think, we just have fun. If you don’t like it, don’t look. I have found that most people wish they could be as carefree as we are. You only live once, let your hair down and enjoy yourself. Exactly... There was a time when other's silly behavior bothered me, but after looking at why I found it was because I wished I could just cut loose and have fun. Just being you and enjoying life is far different that being obnoxious and rude to others. Exactly River! Cut loose. It’s so awesome. I used to admire those people that did. A lady was watching me & the bf dancing. She came over and asked if she could take our pic because she enjoyed watching us so much. It was a bit weird but WTH. |

All said with limits : where it is ok; where it is appropriate to do so. Not what we are talking about; those situations where it is not considered ok or appropriate. I just love somebody drunk and swearing in a family environment - NOT SO MUCH |

Originally, the word Lady was used to describe a woman who was a member of aristocracy. She wasn't employed because her father or her husband paid for all of her needs and wants. I am sick and tired of hearing/reading non-aristocrat women complain that single men won't initiate a date or completely pay for a date or provide transport for a date or etc, etc. Gender equality means that both genders have the same responsibilities as well as the same rights. Thus, single men and single women share the responsibility of initiating a date or paying for a date or providing transport for a date or etc, etc. Single women of the 21st Century aren't helpless damsels. They want to have the Equality of today while STILL enjoying the benefits of times past... Sorry, sweetcheeks, can't have your cake and eat it too. |

I really don't care what a woman wears.
As long as it's not a moo-moo. And, if a woman owns any moo-moos, she should just burn them. |

You can delude yourself in thinking that but reality is far more different than anyone's wishes. |
