Well, nothing has changed since the beginning of time...
And we will always come in different shapes and mind states and morals and understanding of what is right and what isn't...for us...
And thank God for that...
We are who we are or we become something we want to be...or something we think we should be...

fantaziya: Hi Selenite
I got your point. But it is kind of strange. a Lady is a Lady.
that would be interesting to know what is a definition of a Lady for example in Spain?
Just wondering
One of my definition of being a Lady. Lady would never raise her voice no matter what situation is.

Hi Fantaziya!!

That's a perfect example!!! Your perception of a lady would knock most Spanish women of the lady throne!! Especially in the south where people are very expressive and not shy of showing their emotions!!! We can and we are loud laugh laugh
We are loud when we are happy, when we are sad, when we laugh, when we cry, when we party laugh

The one thing about it though is that everyone knows exactly how everyone feels to the great confusion of non Spanish people who think people are falling out or a bit drunk giggle

In fact the word "evesdrop" does not exist in the Spanish language because Spanish people don't tiptoe around so nobody needs to evesdrop in order to hear what's going on. It's hilarious ...

The word lady doesn't really exist in Spanish.
Married women or women of a certain age are addressed as "Señora" which is the definition of an adult woman and which translates as Mrs.
Señorita for unmarried women or young women which translates as Miss
And Señor for men no matter their age.

In gatherings men and women are often addressed as Damas (Ladies) y Caballeros (gentlemen).

The definition of a Dama is "a distinguished woman, especially well educated and high social class".

Anybody outside of high social class calling themselves a "dama" would be called presumptuous and laughed at. Because the word speaks of ancestral lineage and not of attitude and behaviour ...

Being a woman is a full time job, and so is being a man!! Both should stand up and be counted and get their act together TOGETHER but two by two because three is a crowd grin

I can only speak for Mediterranean people , but our women are more passionate in the sense that they wouldn’t think twice about smashing the odd plate over their mans head if he were to be a little mischievous.

I don’t get the last sentence confused
I wasn’t suggesting a relationship should involve a 3rd party , unless this has something to do with Noah & his ark .

I didn't think you were... it was just a humorous way to finish the sentence... no reflection on anyone ...
