Being a Lady of Distinction
![]()
1. Don’t be a helpless damsel. Take pride in being self-sufficient and competent.
2. Respect other people’s time and be punctual to appointments.
3. Resist the temptation to exploit other people’s lives by gossiping.
4. Speak up when others make offensive remarks. (In other words, don’t let your silence lump you in with the transgressor.)
5. Don’t be a slave to fashion. Dress to reflect your own unique personality.
6. Never make your friends feel like replacements for when your [lover/husband/friend with benefits] is unavailable.
7. Refrain from raising your voice because “the louder you get, the more wrong you sound.”
8. Steer clear of people who are married or in committed relationships when looking for romance. Also, steer clear of your best friend’s love interest.
9. Give back– what you can, when you can, and as often as you can.
10. Laugh often… especially at yourself.
A lady is a person who speaks her mind while respecting what’s on others’ minds; someone who makes you feel at ease in her presence; someone who makes you feel welcome in her home.
A lady is an individual who seems to have this innate presence that any person in her company immediately recognizes as something special.
Something that is classy, graceful and understated, but so present in the individual that one has to acknowledge this ‘thing’ that she has.
