Good or bad ...I've been called classy...most of my life...what ever it means....
lol So have I. That is exactly why I can't take it seriously 
You have to take into consideration the messenger/motives/etc blah blah.
All I need is "You're awesome."
That works across more demographics than "you're classy". | |

Posted: 2/12/2008 12:17:02 AM | | Noooo, sorry. Classy does not mean that you are too good for dirt. Classy means that you can walk thru it when the need arises, and not be phased. Class does not belittle those without it. Class has tact. It means you still act comfortable and civil, you keep your manners about you without putting your nose out of joint, and it means that if the fellow your interested in just happens to appear in a pair of stained dungarees, you will still kiss and or accept a kiss from him. It does NOT mean you'd accept a full body press in the middle of said eatery - that'd just be trashy. | |

I love your post. To the above I would say that someone with class would be able to rebuff publicly without anyone BUT the person "pressing" knowing. Spectacles and public humiliation of others are not hallmarks of class.
However... Knees to the groin do have their place. | |

I thought we were all quietly ignoring that by not clicking... Or discussing... Or rating (high ick factor here) because we are "above it" all...
Or something. | |

Posted: 2/12/2008 6:47:46 PM | lol...message 78. Very true..what you say... except for one thing.
I was saying that men, if they knew they were going to meet Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly or that type of woman for a possible romantic meet, most would put extra effort into themselves.
A woman who is too self-deprecating and exudes non-verbal or verbal messages to the man on a possible romantic meet that she doesn't deserve to be treated better than MacDonald's will not impress most men either. ( I am going to get flamed for this ..lol).
Ummmm...as far as a kiss on first meet...and accepting one ( if you don't want it) and saying it's classy...not in my book. Class also is confidence. Confidence to smile at the man...and say..uh uh... | |

Posted: 2/12/2008 7:00:04 PM | Sorry. I must have gotten hold of the wrong end of the stick. I hadn't ment someone that you're meeting for the first time, or that the first meeting would be at the local acne factory.
By the by, if you've been dating someone long enough, that factory serves pretty good coffee, and it can make spending time with each others kids quite fun.
I'm fairly confident that each of the women you named above would have had no problems with going to the french fry'd playground to spend time watching children at play.
Class doesn't come with a price tag either. Funny, that. | |

Posted: 3/15/2008 10:03:09 AM | Maybe we should hook her up with the guy who is looking for Ms.. "Classy"....
It all sniffs of gloating... I was brought up not to do that..... classy is as classy does.... nothing more needs to be said... | |

Posted: 3/15/2008 11:18:34 AM | Nothing wronge with folk calling themselves classy...
classy is many things..
Also it is not gender based... shows up market and quality..in what they do or say.
How they hold themselves the way they dress...the way they talk. their manners ..and soforth. If they say that and thats who they are.. nothing wronge with that.
I know a lot of classy folk from all over the world. Some of them I have known all my life. | |

Posted: 3/15/2008 11:46:31 AM | In general, I find it troubling that people use value judgments in their self-descriptions . I tend to mistrust those hollow recommendations. It is particularly the case with the designation "classy". Comments?
OP -- this word really means nothing. So, please don't let it get in your way!
Please remember that:
All of us -- men and women- have been given the following advice in how to compose a profile:
Create an ad featuring your OWN best assets, and selling points. Do NOT create an ad that is just a list of your requirements for a date or mate.
DON"T have a profile that is too short, and says nothing about you.
Most people just try their best to do just that. But they often don't know exactly what to say to fill in a reasonably large enough amount of words. So, they just describe themselves as best they can, with whatever they think is accurate. Maybe it is accurate in the eyes of others, maybe not. The word "Classy" -- like all the other buzzwords on these ads -- doesn't really mean a thing.
So, I hope none of you men will limit your opportunities to meet someone who might be THE ONE -- by AUTOMATICALLY dismissing her as a CHEAP, SLEAZY, HIGH MAINTENANCE B**** -- because her ad says she is classy.
And I hope you women will not blow off some of the men for a similar reason.
A major problem of internet dating is that it facilitates us in our OWN shallowness of discounting, and pre-judging one another for the most petty of reasons. | |

Posted: 3/15/2008 12:13:56 PM | | Those who feel the need (at any time for any reason) to tell others that they are classy are never classy. At best, they are pretentious snots. At worst, they are delusional. | |

It's the same as attractive, smart, nice, or anything else that others should be the judge of.
If you have to say you are, you probably aren't - if you were you wouldn't worry who knew about it.
It makes positively no sense to state that you are attractive when your photo is posted as part of the profile. | |

Posted: 3/17/2008 12:54:07 PM | | ^^^^No, no, no. That's not being 'classy', that's being a 'yuppie'. Clothes don't make classy. The person wearing them does. | |

Posted: 3/17/2008 4:03:26 PM | | I am glad that we have brought OP into the discussion of class. His profile exudes low-class, common, cheap, swill-minded behaviour. We are responding to a man who thinks he knows class? | |

Posted: 3/23/2008 8:23:52 AM | | Class is what comes from the inside; polite, kind, helpful, respectful of others, have pleasant facial expressions and certainly know how to accept a compliment..... | |

Posted: 3/23/2008 8:27:51 AM | Some women have exceptional views on themselves !
Foxy, classy, sexy etc
Surely its up to the man to decide if she is sexy etc ?
A woman with that attitude has some ego problems. | |

Auction of French first lady nude photo
Tue Mar 25, 5:50 PM ET
PARIS - A nude photo of France's first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy will be auctioned off at a sale next month in New York City, an auction house said.
The image was taken by photographer Michel Comte in 1993, when Bruni-Sarkozy was one of the world's most sought-after models. In the black-and-white photo, she strikes a pigeon-toed pose, her hands covering her crotch.
An official at French President Nicolas Sarkozy's office declined Tuesday to comment on the April 10 sale, saying it concerned the leader's private life.
The photo is expected fetch $3,000-$4,000 at the auction, to be held at Rockefeller Plaza, according to the Web site for Christie's auction house.
Sarkozy divorced his second wife in October and married the Italian-born former model — now a successful singer — in February, after a quick courtship.
Bruni-Sarkozy was to undertake her first state visit as France's first lady on Wednesday, with a two-day trip to Britain, where she and her husband are expected to attend a lavish banquet held by Queen Elizabeth II.

Posted: 5/15/2008 4:09:18 AM | I CRINGE every time I hear the word "Classy".
It's vulgar to my ears.
A person either has CLASS ..... or they don't.
It's an aura.
A person who has CLASS is NOT CLASSY.
"Classy" is sorta like the truck stop waittress with a wad of chewing gum in her mouth. | |
