It is so refreshing to see a young lady with class. It is unfortunately not very common these days. I hate when people take God's name in vain or use profanity.
I am 51 and have been affected by modern culture and language. I appreciate your reminders-especially about the slang, it is easy to believe we are staying fresh and current by using modern slang
I have 2 pet peeves: 1. Women belching loudly in public 2. I was at an event in a wealthy community in Houston, and I kid you not, the lady next to me licked her knife when she finished her meal. *shudder* I was so embarrassed for her. Great video! I mindfully and diligently working on eliminating profanity from my vocabulary.
Ms. Hurricane, thank you for sharing honestly. I struggle with profanity. Although not impossible, I find it difficult to beat the habit of profanity. Any suggestions?
I see people "made fun of" all the time at work followed by "just kidding". I think is is low-brow and so incredibly unkind. It gets a lot of laughs, but I can't help but think this brand of "humor" is mean spirited. Witty, good natured banter is fantastic! Going for the jugular is NOT.
"Truly elegant women, they talk about ideas and concepts, and not people" -- that's so true, and such wisdom! Also inspiring. I think we as humans are prone to talking about other people, and growing means trying to lift up other people rather than criticize them.
Very nice video. There were plenty of great reminders and tips. I think it is very unbecoming to hear unbridled profanity My biggest pet peeve is hearing ladies go off in public especially at their children.
Hi. Great question. I hope you do not mind if I answer here. I have changed the subject, and also addressed it by saying, "I'd really rather not discuss the lives of people who are not present. " I'm sure you have many other great topics for conversation,yes?" Then smoothly carry on by complimenting the manners and poise of the host. This is an elegant way to shut down gossip. Great question :-).
A very unladylike characteristic that I have found in other women and that truly irritates me is being loud. It can be laughing loud or having a very disruptive presence.
great points , as usual . one slang term , that makes my skin crawl is , yasssss , instead of yes . another , is talking and emphasizing a point with tongue popping....crude......thank you , for sharing .
Good points. 👍 I think twerking is the absolute worst of all unladylike behaviors. Fighting or attempting to fight a person physically, making smacking noise with mouth while talking, poping chewing gum, being haughty and condescending to others...all are on the list of things I find distasteful. May God keep us from falling from the Grace of Ladyhood! 😊
Hello. Thank you for the video. This was very enlightening and definitely inspiring for me to look at some things about myself when I communicate. Something that really caught my attention is directing your energy on more the positive things. Always putting out positivity and being more encouraging to others, like you said you never know what someone is going through and just being kind and giving off positive energy can make a difference. 🙂
I believe the advice here could apply to a gentlemen's conversation for the most part. In my experience, the profanity, gossip-type speech (or crass pseudo-compliments) and slang language are the most frequently encountered issues, but the explanation provided about these points and why they should be avoided seems sound enough for anyone, male or female.
Ann oh most definitely! I agree! My comment/question was sort of rhetorical because I really enjoyed the talk… But I recognize that a lot of men need to hear what you said--often times they will only receive information from other men. So I’m like -wow I wish I could find the male version of this to share with a man who will receive the information… Do you know what I mean?
@@SayconTalks Yes! Thank you for the clarification, I can't believe the context went completely over my head!! I have been seeing some gentleman's behavior CZcams videos recently, and some with gentlemen hosting, so perhaps someone has done an official male equivalent by now? I hope...
It is interesting how you contradicted yourself suggesting minimal negativity in conversations but then deeming it okay for people to comment negative traits they don’t like for the sake of engagement......
and the bomb is also a slang that's annoying to me like women saying " your hair is the bomb" like why not just say your hair is beautiful or stunning?
l'm sorry l don't agree with you my lady. lt seems like you're telling women to just shut their mouths and watch us men ruin the party. Ladies pliz your voices should be heard. My advice to women is to speak their mind and not jus coil back and watch helplessly. Speak and speak loud and clear and any how.
I see where you're both coming from. I adore Modern Lady's channel and really appreciate any young woman who's so polite and ladylike. I also love gentleman with manners and hate double standards. I haven't seen anything suggesting Modern Lady has any, but because so many do, I think I understand your point of view. I don't think cursing is a big deal. Apparently people who are more intelligent actually curse more, go figure. But I hate a foul mouth. It's not appropriate to constantly curse everywhere. Too many people have no filters at work, curse around children, etc. I try to watch it on the curse words. When I do, they're more effective when I bust them out! Most of us vent, but we have to be careful not to gossip. I never share malicious gossip, but most people need to get better about not saying anything about someone you wouldn't say to their face. This is one area I'm working on because I'm not the most confrontational and sometimes I just need to vent if someone hurts my feelings or I don't know how to navigate a situation. Slang is whatever to me. I think certain words/expressions aren't too bad, but a lot of the time it can sound awkward. I think some people are more interested in sounding classy, and some people are more interested in sounding trendy. Kind of like fashion. To each his own. As for the pessimism and complaints, I don't think most of us enjoy being around someone who's negative and whines all the time. I totally believe we all have every right to have opinions, be passionate, and not be afraid to speak our minds, and talk about genuine problems and concerns. I'm a feminine feminist and think all the above applies to both men and women. My motto for both genders is be kind, polite, and positive. I definitely don't think it's okay for one gender to get away with all kinds of language and aggression and that another gender has to be some sort of stepford wife who's always happy, never debates and issues, and has no opinions on politics.

Yes
Thanks for these great tips. You've reminded me to be careful when I talk with others. It doesn't add anything to life to be negative.

My biggest pet peeve is hearing ladies go off in public especially at their children.
Oh yes I hate hearing women go off in public on their own children I hate that it makes me think they abuse them
Can you do a video on how to avoid gossip when someone is gossiping to you

@@starrynightsmoonlitskies5497 thankyou so much
@@becomingmama4376 you're certainly welcome :-). Thanks for considering on how to help the world be a better place. God bless you :-)
3:35 I don't know them either! Hearing someone say ”haters” when I'm in a public place just makes me cringe.
you have a beautiful sparkle in your eyes.

Same here 🤦🏾♀️ Can’t stand it. It’s very uncouth and uncivilized behavior.

Love love your videos. I think our ladies today truly need this. Profanity is not pretty. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the reminder 🙂

I love it when Myla makes her debut.💜
Takes away from the thought of pessimism :)
Thank you for your Elegance and Classy.

My least favorite slang term is “sick” meaning great or wonderful or the speaker likes it a lot.
The same applies to “dope’ used as a compliment.
My pet peeve is Gossiping because it doesn’t add value; it’s uncouth, lacks kindness and purpose to one’s life or the life of others.
Smoking cigarettes and cursing 🤬 I definitely am working on getting rid of my unladylike behavior
I support you in that.
Love this channel and this lady's personality - I subscribed! She looks so much like Nia Sioux
Thank you! I wold love to know some come backs in a classy way of course for people who say pessimistic things etc.
I like to her presentation with smiling while giving us constructive criticism (or advise ). Such a beautiful smile and white teeth.
I hope I become more like you! Such amazing mannerisms and body language. Binging your videos:)
Thank you...I'm learning so much ...
This is a very helpful video, thank you ma'am
Your dog is so cute! 🤩
Thanks, I always learn something ....a lot out of your videos.
I love this, thank you. Is there a male version of this converation?

Yes please...for my husband...for years I've been trying to get him to stop texting in CAPITAL!! he just won't stop. Please help.
You are so inspiring!!
Great advice. 💕
I dislike loud women who share dirty jokes with men! It’s so disturbing to watch and experience.
It is interesting how you contradicted yourself suggesting minimal negativity in conversations but then deeming it okay for people to comment negative traits they don’t like for the sake of engagement......
I hate to see loud attention seeking women.
and the bomb is also a slang that's annoying to me like women saying " your hair is the bomb" like why not just say your hair is beautiful or stunning?
Women saying bruh is a pet peeve for me that is extremely unlady like and masculine
When you have … “when I have more to share.”
I miss more of your videos
This video was Mutha f-ing Lit!
Ehat example of slang word
OMG. Please this avoid 'slang' at all costs.
I cringe at women overeating, it is unladylike.
I love woman who curse
to connect femininity with not saying certain things is very anti feminist! so sad
You are beautiful

So being fake is elegant when we talk about complaining example for?
Women have the right to feel relaxed and don’t need to be ladylike or elegant we can just be ourselves. I say fuck proper behavior.
Smh that's the problem
thank you for making these videos 💗
