tech18: Funny enough, in times past Master was used for men of rank (e.g master of a trade), or by employees referring to their employer. Over time it became the term used only for young boys. There was bound to be some debate over the appropriate use of master to refer to men in England at some point. Mister was the default for men (of lower rank), and yet the two words have changed positions. You don't call a grown man Master, and you hardly call a young boy Mister. Similar (but not quite because of gender inequalities) debates about Ms. Mrs. Miss. 3 Likes |

nextstep: Then it's totally an individual thing, desired just for the benefit of massaging one's ego and sense of self importance. However, understanding cultural diversity, it is courteous to address people in the way they feel highly esteemed. I personally don't feel offended when kids address me by my first name. I introduce myself that way all the time. 1 Like |

miqos02: Has nothing to do with being male or single. It's about being married or single. FYI.... spend a week in my shoes.....what would you say when a male introduces himself as Mrs Whatever? @ topic... Not necessary. My name is So N. SO...... If young and hot and sexy and you know men would be trooping and drooling after you.....I am Mrs So N So.... most of you probably know my husband General So N So .... who is in charge of the Terrorists Elimination Squad. So it depends. 1 Like |

miqos02:Exactly. The title isn't necessary. Unless situation demands it. But Nigerians seem to feel less accomplished until they are recognised by titles. Pastor, Doctor, Engineer, Mrs, Barrister, Chief, Apostle, etc. To each his own i guess. 2 Likes |

AntiWailer:Unless that lady has given you express permission to call her by her first name, please do not do such a thing. You need to be respectful, and culturally sensitive. Or else, what will happen when a 35 year old man starts calling a 48 year old woman by her first name? Disrespect will set in. Familiarity breeds contempt. |
Re: Is It Proper To Introduce Oneself As Miss Or Mrs? by CeterisXVII: 11:52am On Nov 26, 2019 |
