What separates a lady from other women? Her behavior! Did you know that according to etiquette, a woman is always the first to shake a man's hand? And that the older person shakes hands with the younger one first? And that a man must always say hello first?

Etiquette covers the rules of nice, decent behavior in society. These are generally agreed forms of behavior that apply in a certain environment. Good behavior contributes to self-confidence in private and professional life.

Read what rules of conduct are necessary if you want to be liked a cultured, educated and sophisticated lady.

  • If you are walking down the street with a friend and she greets a passer-by, you must also greet him.
  • The general rule is that when someone enters a room where other people are already there, say hello, regardless of gender or age.
  • A lady never has her elbows on the table!
  • A real lady will never interrupt others during a conversation, she will wait for them to finish and then express her opinion without insulting someone else's point of view.
  • A real lady responds to a compliment with thanks. If you answer the sentence: "You look beautiful" with "I know", you will leave the impression of an overbearing person with an overly high opinion of yourself.
  • He apologizes when he's wrong, that's the mark of a well-mannered person, whether male or female.
