Everything a male and female do they do differently - sitting, walking, talking, standing, getting in and out of cars, eating, drinking, greeting others etc are all carried out in an unmistakably male or female manner.

These differences are so naturally ingrained into each sex that no one even consciously notices them. It is only when a transvestite or transsexual fails to act as a natural female that unwelcome questioning of gender occurs. It is therefore essential that feminine characteristics are developed until they become second nature.   

Define A Lady:

• You don't reveal your age or weight, unless absolutely necessary.
• You never ask a gentleman how much money he makes.
• When in doubt, you dress up. You would never look to casual for an event.
• You never say that you're leaving for the bathroom. You simply excuse yourself.
• You don't complain about things you can't change - like waiting in line or the weather.
• If a gentleman offers to pay for a date, you politely accept.
• When it's up to you to tip, you always leave at least 20%
• You don't engage in prolonged public displays of affection.
• You never talk on your phone when in a restaurant or at the movies.
• You don't gossip.
• You drink in moderation. You never let your drinking behavior get out of control.
• You do not discuss religion or politics at the dinner table.
• If you've been given a gift, you follow up with a written thank you note or card.
• You don't use call waiting. You instead use voicemail for interrupting calls.
• You always RSVP to invitations, and you never ask if you can bring extra guests.
• You don't discuss your past relationships with the person you're dating.
• You don't tell sexist or racist jokes.
• You do not interrupt people speaking to you.
• You don't flirt with men that you aren't interested in.
• If you are on a diet, you do not discuss it at the dinner table.
• You carry the smallest purse possible, depending on the occasion.
• You err on the side of saying good night early.
• You never turn down an invitation hoping something better will come along that night.
• When in doubt, you dress modestly - saving sexier clothes for the right occasion.
• You never ask if you look fat.

When sitting, a woman tends to cross her legs. But should we? According to Maura Graber,  R.S.V.P. Institute of Etiquette, says, "When sitting, a woman should cross her legs at the ankles. For one thing, by crossing one's legs at the knees, one is cutting off circulation and can end up with spider veins. It is not considered lady-like to cross one's legs at the knees, especially if one is wearing a short skirt." 

Another way some women tend to sit, since the appearance of  jeans is with their legs spread apart. This is never in good form when it comes to proper etiquette. As long as your demeanor is one of openness you'll easily be viewed as "laid back" as well as classy if you sit properly. It is true that you shouldn't compromise your comfortableness for the sake of propriety but you also shouldn't compromise your femininity for the sake of the world's changing views.

To break any bad habit a woman has when sitting, she needs to practice the correct way of crossing her legs. If you are one of these women, you can do this while typing at the computer, when eating a meal, or even while watching TV. At first it might feel uneasy, but remember that this is only temporary. It truly is a more comfortable, not to mention lady-like, way to sit. It's just different than what you are used to.

• Soften Your Shoulders

Women's shoulders do not move when they walk. Try taking a few steps while keeping your shoulders perfectly still. You will note that this immediately forces your hips to sway. Correcting your shoulders this way feminizes the rest of your walk.

•  Put Your Hips To Work

• Use your Behind

Posture is imperative. Always be aware of your standing position. Keep your head up and chest out. Keep your arms and legs close to your body. Women are much more relaxed and angular while standing. Try putting most of your weight on one foot and push your hip out slightly to the side let the opposite leg relax and bend your knee a little. This is a very feminine stance.

                                                            OR

Try standing very straight with your feet only a few inches apart. Shoulders back and relaxed. Let your arms fall free in front and clasp your hands together lightly with palms up.Hold a purse in your hands or over your shoulder while standing like this. A great comfortable look when waiting in line, chatting with someone etc..
