Think Like A Man - Act Like A Lady!
“When you know yourself, your value is presented. You soon begin to understand that there will only be one you so there’s no need to envy or try to duplicate another.” -Germaine Moody
It is very interesting that women in our generation are so independent, driven and goal oriented. As a result we are achieving career goals that were unimaginable 50 years ago. With the rise of independent women who are mostly single and at the height of divorce rates it makes me wonder are we conquering corporations and not the home because we have lost the role of acting like a lady? Though we may be teetering or wavering between roles in most circumstances, we should not stop taking on that old fashioned role of being a lady.
- Now these are things I use on a regular and I hope you do too…
Be Lovely: Let’s be honest, you have to be fun and no one wants to be around a party pooper but rather a fresh breath of air. You should always be the highlight of the party and people should want to be around you all the time. Especially men – Yes you read right. There are many forms of in-appropriate behavior a woman should not share in public; such as saying stuff that rubs off the wrong way – you may get the snide smiles but it’s all artificial as everyone will be moving away from you sooner or later, cussing a lot, and something I personally dislike burping loudly. Its best to be polite, try and compliment a stranger sincerely once in a while, be enlightening to others in conversation and the best thing I love to do is SMILE, now that costs nothing at all. I bet you the next person will reciprocate with the same gesture.
Be Aware-Educate Yourself: Always Alert – Now that’s an AA group we all should be part of. Know where you are, who is around you, speak and act appropriately, dress appropriately, be present in the moment be it in a meeting, an event, a date and you will command attention. It’s always good to pay attention and show interest to what people say so that when you have to say something it’s not coming from left field. You never know you may learn a thing or two and giving an opinion that’s valid never hurt nobody. As women we need to educate ourselves as today’s proverbial lady needs to hold up her end of any conversation that is charged with intellectual heft and interest by keeping up with current affairs. Agree mentally and thank verbally. A woman, who acts like a lady and knows how to take a compliment, is attractive to a man. A lady unaware of herself is a damsel in distress so they say and that never compliments any lady.
Be Demure: In other words be modest and you’ll be effortlessly fabulous. It’s always nice to know you are awesome, look amazing, and be all that and a bag of chips, but arrogance can sometimes be a put off. A beautiful woman who is content exudes confidence without having to wait for someone to tell her and never tries too hard or compliments herself. With being a demure woman that will in-turn open up the doors of compliments, great conversation, effective networking, free drinks, and flirtatious attention will all come without her being someone she is not. We’ve all been around someone who tries too hard. Bottom-line: You are what you attract.
Be You: Simply Unique. “There’s only one you.” Simple statement – and we are all unique in our own special way truth be told. I don’t know why people get this wrong and try to be who they are not. First and foremost Love Yourself, if you don’t who will? Enjoy yourself, embrace yourself and let the world enjoy and embrace you as well, as they bask in who you are and how great it is to know you. Being candid and honest about the person you are is extremely respectable. I mean you need to express who you are in every fiber of your being, if you’re a girly girl, rock with it, if you’re a sports fanatic and/or tomboy speak up when your team is on a roll. And mothers know their children better than anyone else, so when you get that compliment saying you’re special from your mother, know you are and share it with everyone.
Be a Woman And Dress To Impress: We all get tangled in various webs along the way in life, but it should never take away from you being the phenomenal woman you are. A woman is responsible and has her own – that’s right! She’s confident, polite – speaks properly – no voices raised nor curse words helps in being polite, determined, nurturing – in a nutshell that’s being kind and it’s probably the most recognizable sign of being a lady whether it be to ones parents; friends; partners ;social communities those are characteristics that are valuable and contagious , open-minded, always appropriate, can take a compliment, be assertive and not aggressive, can have a good time without getting carried away, and she’s not easily threatened by anyone and knows how to let a man be a man – yes I said it. Like I said earlier in this day and age we have so many independent women and that’s great but we should also be capable of being interdependent. In all other circumstances a woman should know how to flirt without coming off easy, and best of all she should ooze sex appeal without being slutty – this is when you know how to be hard to get and not merely be playing hard to get. A real woman gets her point across in a ladylike manner and is never argumentative. A woman with amazing qualities will never be afraid of herself and is always a lady.
Be Independent: In a drastic shift away from traditional ideas of ladylike, the contemporary woman is considered a lady if she can stand on her own two feet and we’re getting better at it constantly. As women we take care of the home, hold down careers, raise children or we live the single life dependent upon our own choices and preferences. Literally we walk with that self-affirmation of knowing that our feet are firmly planted on the ground and looking forward to conquer all. We all may interpret being a lady or acting like one in various ways but a few core factors are always parallel. An independent woman is the pinnacle of ladylike.
