Its an aire that one has and not everyone has it-
Not so much how you dress or physical appearance -
at least not in my opinion.
- just an elegance about them. | |

"Classy" isn't about appearances alone.
It's about attitude as well.
Someone whose classy is well-spoken,confident,and comfortable about who they are.
They can turn heads without having a "look at me" attitude. | |

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. | |

In other words, the thought of round-housing JFK in his genitals may have entered Jackie’s mind, but she would never discuss it openly or act upon the notion, whether or not said genitalia was deserving. To do anything less, would be. . .uncivilized.
Not saying I’m classy, just saying. | |

Posted: 2/11/2007 11:11:54 AM | Yeah Jackie O would be considered classy as would Princess Diana for that matter. As for today, Nicole Kidman comes to mind
I don't consider myself classy at all. Maybe I have the wrong definition. But, I think of women who are elegant, well mannered, well bred, sharply dressed in designer fashions that are classic styles not trendy. I think of country clubs and yachts.
Definitely not my lifestyle. I'm more down to earth and earthy myself | |

Posted: 2/11/2007 11:22:46 AM | I kind of have to disagree with bellydancer.... What a rare thing! I don't think you neccesarily have to have a lot of money and good breeding to be classy. I think someone who's classy is someone who can hold her own with dignity in all situations, regardless of how bizzare or awkward they may be, someone who has good manners and all that.
According to the Canadian Oxford dictionary classy is defined as '1.of high quality; expensive and stylish. 2 distinguished or admirable, esp. by being dignified, gracious, etc. | |

Posted: 2/11/2007 11:33:36 AM | I'm with you WPG. Class is how you conduct yourself - with decorum, dignity and decency. It's not about money.
Look at Britney Spears - that chick has more money than I could ever hope to have yet she has no class whatsoever.
You can't buy class with possessions and clothes.
Whereas, BD I think you have class. You are never drawn into fights (on POF). You always patiently and lucidly explain your point.
You've had your troubles but you've pulled yourself up and built an admirable life for yourself. You were dealt some low blows but you fought and never gave up. That's a lot of class lady!

Posted: 2/11/2007 11:35:21 AM | Class (IMO) doesn't have to mean being well bred and having money. It's more in the attitude than the clothes.
A woman with class carries herself high, but isn't afraid to get her hands dirty
She dresses well, but is not flashy
While other women scream "look at me", it's the women who are discreet, but still attract our eye that have class
She is well-spoken, and mannered, gratious, modest, and has a presence about her that has nothing to do with what label she is wearing or what car she drives. | |

Posted: 2/11/2007 11:38:43 AM | | If you're talking about someone describing themselves as classy in their profile, they're most definitely not. There's nothing classy about saying "I'm classy." lol They probably mean they "think" they're classy and that they think they deserve a man with class as well. And class just might mean lots of disposable income in those cases. | |

It's because of this definition that, those with money? Consider themselves classy. Personally? I would tend to think of those folks as, rather, "elitist" versus "classy". Not to suggest that rich folks can't be classy. It's an individual thing. The money might cloud their perception or judgement.
Classy is a funny word because, if you call yourself "classy"? You, probably, aren't.
Edit: Geez, Arugula, you posted my point while I was typing it... Great minds think alike... then again? fools seldom differ... whatayagonnado... | |

Posted: 2/11/2007 12:43:37 PM | a classy woman is someone who dont by cheap perfume from the pound shop, knickers from QS and white flipping boots in a mini skirt on a friday night and put out on the first date
a classy woman is someone who respects herself enough to do what she wishes without being a slut and takes pride in who she is and what she looks like.  | |

'a classy woman is someone who respects herself enough to do what she wishes without being a slut and takes pride in who she is and what she looks like.'
Class, is a uniqueness, knowing yourself...being able to consider all points of view and form an intelligent response. I think class, is your own style, how you go about things, how you deal with chaos. Perception, intuition, integrity, these are some of the components of classyness, there are many more. | |

Posted: 2/11/2007 2:35:22 PM | My thought exactly, anutherchance. To add to that, a classy woman would never openly claim to have class.  If she has it, she knows it will be recognized. | |

Though . . I am drinking tea right now. But, it's in a coffee mug. So, affirmative, I'm not classy. | |

Posted: 2/11/2007 4:15:06 PM | | K-Lo, when you drink your tea do you raise your pinky finger? Cause that might offset the mug and add a little bit of class.... also dab your mouth with a napkin afterward... a linen one mind, not a paper one. | |

Posted: 2/11/2007 4:29:33 PM | | Erai - you crack me up. And, actually, I DO raise my pinky!!! But, here's the catch, it's only because I broke my pinky in the 6th grade, playing basketball, and after the splint came off, I've raised my pinky ever since. It's just not going to happen for me, is it? | |

Posted: 2/11/2007 4:35:17 PM | Nah! It's cool, you keep quiet about the accident and no one will be any the wiser.... here's what else you do.
After you've dabbed your mouth with the napkin make a big show of smoothing it over your lap (whatever you do don't tuck it into your collar) and then say (in as snooty a voice as you can muster) "I understand the Forsmythes are visiting from the country, I do hope they will grace us with their company - it is not often that I get the chance to visit with the gentry, mores the pity". | |

Posted: 2/11/2007 4:39:59 PM | | OP, being classy is when one shows class and dignity during situations when many others lose it; it's someone who reflects a high standard of personal behavior in their attitude, gestures, manners and actions. Jackie Kennedy had it; her husband didn't. It's something a man or a woman can have, and may take a while to be recognized for what it is...but when someone doesn't have it, it's pretty easily recognized that they're lacking it. | |
