if u really intended 2 skool us "dummies" on the art of "Classy-sm", then u'd have to do a whole lot better than that. be elaborate with the tips!

" Listen more", "Walk briskly", "don't be loud in public", "Be polite" are probably the only items on that list that we "dummies" can relate to.

oh yeah!!!!! Tell me about it.

@gracious - i have to say i DO NOT agree with some of your points ohhh

.First dress appropriately for the occasion - GRANTED

2. love-vendor up the way you speak, try to speak calmly - and since when did the 'PIMPING' up the way u speak bcome classy?,

3. Listen more - I THINK THIS SHOULD BE AMMENDED TO SAY, LISTEN ATTENTIVELY

4. Walk briskly - I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS, WALKING BRISKLY IS OFTEN RUDE - GIVE THE IMPRESSION UR ESCAPING SOMEONTHING/SOMEONE. WHAT U WANT TO DO, IS WALK PURPOSELY, BUT FEMININE

5. Leave people room to desire to see you more - I AGREE, AT THE SAME TIME IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO SEE THEM, LET THEM DOWN NICELY

6. Observe eating manners - DEFINITELY - SHOULD APPLY TO ALL LADIES (but i dont mean u should eat one grain of rice for 5mins ohh, nibbling is not the answer - rather use moderate portions - dont wolf it down, or eat like a mouse)

7. Always observe environment - FIRST THING YOU SHOULD DO WHEN YOU ENTER ANY PLACE - WHO U MIX WITH WILL SAY LOTS ABOUT U

8. In dating don't be desperate. - BUT IF YOU ARE INSTERESTED, APPREAR INTERESTED, AND KEEN JUST NOT DESPARATE

10. don't be loud in public - HAHAHAHA, yes, he's right next to you he can hear you. HOWVER, DON'T STIFFLE LAUGHTER, OR ACT LIKE A UR CHOKING ON SOMETHING, because U FEEL U CANT LAUGH OUT LOUD

11. Never speak sub -standard English except when it really calls for - I DON'T AGREE, I SAY RESPOND IN WHAT EVER LANGUAGE YOU ARE ADDRESSED IN, (if u can), IF SOMEONE APPROACHES U IN ENGLISH, YORUBA OR PIGIN, RESPOND APPROPRIATELY AS TEH NEED SEED FIT, NO DEY OVER CLAIM ENGLISH, SHEBI NA U ONE GO SKOOL? (can't stand ppl that do this intentionally)

12. Be polite - ALWAYS

13. Have taste - IN WHAT?, YOUR TASTE MAY VARY NO PROBLEM. BUT BE CONFIDENT IN YOUR VARIETY, DON'T BE A FOLLOWER, IF U LIKE COOKE, AND EVERYONE IS DRINKING WINE, STICK TO COKE, LET PPL KNOW UR FIRM, BUT EASY GOING AND U HAVE A MIND OF YOUR OWN

Any body got some more.

YES, BUT AFTER ANALYSING YOURS, I'M THINKING MINE MIGHT BE A BIT DIFFERENT, BE BACK SOON, LEMME GO CHECK OUT THE OTHER JOINTS

@iice, hahaha, u sef, thank u mah

@jobreel i dey oh, shey i don land!

ok here's my list of 10 classy things

1. Dress appropriately. Leave something fro the imagination, and plz, if ur on the larger side of things, i beg avoid mini skirts and over tight tops, doesn't make for good viewing. Be comfortable in your clothes, but sexy
2. walk luike a lady. don't slough or pull your feet, dont shuffle along, walk like u have a sense of direction
3. SMILE, theres no better way to make someone at ease in your company than smiling at them, and if u find you're getting bored, smile and excuse yourself politely.
4. Look presentable - it's always easy to come across slightly unkempt - i know u cant be looking 100% gorgeous all teh time. but look clean, ppl usually notice when u are looking nice - and also when you are not
5. SMELL - nice, if ur not into perfume, don't worry just smell clean
6. Laugh like a lady - i know ppl might take this for granted, but have u heard ur babe laugh somewhere and everyone turned to find out where 'that sound' came from?, yes! highly unearthly, unlady like laughs exist out there, practice to laugh properly
7. Carry yourself with pride and purpose. Not that u should be arrogant or snubbish or feel superior to others, but carry yourself with grace
8. Be knowledgeable. Try a little bit (or alot) about a wide range of conversations. have an interest and opinion in things. And be willing to share them and participate in chats. Nothing worse than a girl on teh date whom you cant talk to, and she doesnt know how to open a conversation or continue one.
9. Be humble.
10. (not the lest) be honest. honesty makes you appealing. Dont flatter ppl. If the truth your about to tell them is going to hurt, say it anyway, they will appreciate you for it one day. Just do it out of concern not spite

hey luxoire,

seems like ur whole idea of "classy" is centred around appearance --- the[b]"Honesty"[/b] thing is like walking on thin ice don't u think; sometimes in being honest you just might be a touch impolite or even outright ruud or on the other hand somewhat insincere!

Be yourself and allow others to be themselves. You want to always assert yourself but don't be a jerk doing it. Knowing where to draw the line will not only make you classy but successful in life.

RuuDie
that is because, being 'classy' is an appearance, its an outer look, they way u come accorss to others, stilsh elegant etc, it is not anything internal (well, at least that was the definition last time i checked in the dic)

and HONESTY, is the best policy. ppl might not appreciate it when u do, but keep telling them the truth and sooner or later they'll appreciate u for it. I know it is hard to be consistently honest (heck we all all sometimes), but when it matters, it is important to tell the truth 9thats my perception)

@Black mamba, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU,

one's being assertive should not and does not involve putting others down (dont know if its a 'classy' trait, but i know its one for success)
