ladies and gentlemen/men and women

Take a Proverbs 31 woman, throw in an intense dedication to preserve her moral reputation, add proper etiquette, and blend with a generous helping of 18th century manners and decorum.

Ah now I get it why noone knows what a lady is. They don't exist.

I think Michelle is a wonderful example for young women. Truly classy, intelligent, and confident. What a strange insinuation for you to make.

Why exactly are you so intent on getting a specific concrete definition?

For example, in movie My fair lady, eliza doolittle was only a lady if henry higgins treated her like one, not if she got changed into one, changed her accent and wore nice clothes at ascot.

In modern day movie Pretty Woman, it was the same...if richard gere treated Julia Roberts like a lady she wouldnt be a prostitute.

And if Rhett truly loved Scarlett and wasnt so nasty to her and respected her she wouldnt have turned so mean....she became a complete horror at the end after she married him. Maybe if shed married ashley, which she couldnt, she may have become a lady.

I dont know what do y'all think?

Yes I become more ladylike if I date someone who likes that, if he likes plain and denim I look like that. I used to walk in dresses and stuff my goodness when I see those pictures. Puffed up hair bunch of make up in Holland. They asked me if I went to a party.
Nope without a man if I would walk around like that I'd feel very uncomfortable. Lol a few months back a collegue got married so those guys say I come in a suit. So I thought: I need a dress. Can't go in denim. Bought a dress since I threw all the old ones away. Then those funny guys turned out to have been joking like they always do and they and a female collegue show up in denim. Two women had nice looking trousers. I was the only one with a dress. Put it on in the toilet there. Lol walked out. No this is stupid. Put my denim and t-shirt back on. My collegues had to assure me it wasn't stupid.
Last time I wore that thing.

You think Barry Hussein's husband is a wonderful example for young women? And example of what? How to be a disgusting freedom hating traitor?

Ladies and gentlemen carry themselves in a more civilized way. They act in a more sophisticated manner, they entertain a broad spectrum of cultural and intellectual interests. They understand the concept of cultural relativity, and reject any notions of ethnocentrism.

Men and women tend to be more primitive; simpletons. They lack manners, intelligence, and enlightenment. They're the kind of people who make fart noises when someone else talks about something deep or meaningful, or when a wonderful work of art is on display. Then they laugh because they have a third grader's sense of humor.


Then of course, you could say ladies and gentlemen have average or great minds. Men and women have small minds.

Worse than that, there used to be a surgery that many wealthy women would have to remove some of their ribs to give them a tiny waist. This woman supposedly had that surgery so she could look like a Barbie Doll.

Oh hahaha I read7 too fast. I thought you wrote Uggs. They were lovely comfortable and totally ugly but I wore them anyway, well the cheap fake ones.
High heels lol. Once bought them when I was dating and wanted to look feminine.
Two guys behind us: Look! She can't walk on them!

To me a gentleman is simply someone decent. I don't care about the definition. Someone who doesn't walk over you and doesn't try to get over your borders.

Sure you do. Barry Hussein, aka Barry Soetoro. Just a few of the alias of Barack Obama.
