| What makes a woman classy? Posted: 5/22/2007 2:56:17 AM | "Class" is a balanced collective of various noble character traits denoting sincere genuineness and unassuming sophistication, presented in a manner informed with sage judgement, demur demeanor, diplomatic reserve, tasteful fashion sense, empathetic compassion, reasonable generosity and graciousness.
Ethical integrity, moral conscience, resiliant patience and a an upbeat, positive attitude add credibility to these components. In a woman, these elements become even more charismatic if underscored with thoughtful kindness and the seductive tenderness of conventional femininity.
When you have class you ooze it and it comes across in everything you do... so you leave the observer to get the impression themselves. (--Dana Scully, Message 5) | |

| What makes a woman classy? Posted: 5/23/2007 12:34:51 PM | In American pop culture classy means sophisticated. And if you were "classy" as you call it you would never use that word to decribe yourself. It makes you look like a hick.
In the rest of the world classy is synonym for decency. How you treat others determines whether you have "class" or not. | |

| What makes a woman classy? Posted: 5/24/2007 10:09:53 PM | I think Classy is how one presents themselves, being a decent human being! Caring from the heart for others and having a decent Vocabulary w/ out swearing espescially those that seem to use the F...word in every sentence, I find this very distasteful especially among Woman...! I try to hang on to the hope that there has to be some real decent men left unless I been a Widow to long or married to long whichever..! Or maybe society has really changed as a whole..? I prefer to stick w/ my morals and beleifs and that won't ever change and I'm proud of it..! I feel most any decent gentalman prefers... A Classy Lady that he can be proud to have on his Arm, and won't be an embarressment to him w/ a FOWEL mouth.... and who takes pride in her appearence, And takes care of her teeth as well as Physical shape...! Is honest and sincere and cares about other's more then themself's . Someone who would never just deliberatley go out of there way to hurt someone and degrade them after calling u a friend..! This person is very Jealous of others getting any more attention then her! she's using and taking Advantage of those of us who had really cared about her until we all realized how she stuck her foot in her mouth of how badly she lies.... back stabbs .....and used us all..... and scams ppl by getting them to feel so sorry for her... and the ironic thing is it works to her advantage and alot of ppl fall Victim to her...! It's not very Classy when ppl are not anything what they want you to beleive..! It's called being a low Class..... Pony Fony Bolony | |

| What makes a woman classy? Posted: 5/25/2007 2:24:21 AM | Little saying that I like....
you can put a person into class, but you can't put class into a person.....
I believe this to be so true.... class is not just about what you wear, it's about your outlook at life, and things around you... everyone has different expectations in various subjects and objects... It depends on standards of taste.

ILL WINDS A very classy and smartly dressed society woman, Looking just a bit too smug, Entered an expensive Persian carpet store, While looking for a rug. She spotted then the perfect one before her, Resting there upon the floor, And bent over to inspect it carefully, Not knowing what was next in store. While bending over to inspect it, She accidentally broke wind, And being quite embarrassed, She stood up quickly, looking 'round, And feeling quite chagrined. Standing there behind her was a salesman, Who looked her in the eye, She thought right then that she would die, And wished she'd turn to ice, But instead she swiftly turned to him, Thinking to be nice, And asked of him the price. She said it was the perfect fit, The salesman looked at her and said: "Lady, if you only farted when you touched it, When you hear the price you'll shit." | |

...and a political conservative.
Excuse me?
That's not the least bit right. Political views don't need to come into any reasonable definition of class. The classiest lady I know is someone who I love a lot, and she is pure class without being a war lover or a religious nut of any stripe(Or an advocate of abolition of the social safety net, or a proponent of shutting down immigration from certain countries, or any of the nutty ideas in a pure conservative philosophy today). Part of her class is that her opinions are her own, she believes them with her whole heart, but has the confidence and strength to have those beliefs without trying to make them be everyone elses.
For me, class is about caring about the world, caring about the people around you, and caring about yourself. Classless people often either don't care as much about the world(Seen where people do things that will cause a net decrease in the happiness in the world just to make themselves or their friends happier), or they don't care about the people around them (Proclaiming hatred and malice towards people who hold different political beliefs when it's possible to be a peacekeeper and help others see your point of view while understanding someone elses), or they don't care about themselves (Dressing nicely, doing the college thing, being well read, you do it because you care about yourself and you want to meet the standards you believe to be ideal).
It's universal, in my view. I try my best, and sometimes fail, to follow these simple ideals. | |

Saying you're classy is similar to saying "Honest, I'm telling you the truth ! "
I'll take integrity over classy any day | |

| What makes a woman classy? Posted: 5/30/2007 3:43:02 PM | I think several responses from the women on this subject showed that they at least understood the meaning of the word. One even went so far as to quote Webster himself!
I believe, like so many others have expressed, that is has much more to do with attitude than money. The two can go together but not necessarily. I'm sure you have all met people with money who had no class and people without it who did.
There is certainly something to be said for someone who can keep her dignity when others around loose it. | |
