The power of manners Most of us I’m sure as heard “what do you say” when we wanted something, the correct and learned response is “please” or once received “thank you”. For me manners are part of who I am, they are beyond mere words, they make up part of me, they are part of my essence. Manners played an integral part while I was in a relationship. Yes, he demanded them by saying something like “is that how you’re going to ask?” But more often than not that was unnecessary because I would have already used my manners. Manners are probably the easiest and yet most profound way of reaffirming my submission to him. If I wanted to ask for something I would have said “may I please ask you something?” He heard this many times in a day, the answer was always the same “Yes Beautiful Always” I know that was always his response, that doesn’t mean I used it as a default or blanket permission. l always asked because manners are powerful. So why are manners powerful? The answer is very simple “respect”, “reverence”, and “appreciation”. They show all this in a profound way. They gave him power and showed him I appreciated everything he did for me, every last thing. For something that costs you nothing, manners can take you far in life  "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.” |

Origin of the proverb "Manners maketh Man" 'manners maketh man' is often said to be in the writings of a man called William Horman, who lived between 1440 and 1535. Horman was the headmaster at Eton School in England and he also taught at Winchester School in England.

Yes I would agree manners are very important. It's a great shame the same emphasis is not placed on manners as it used to be.

Good manners are important and seem to go by the way side. Where are the Golden Rules? Howling at the moon and mal ad osteo.

It is just my nature to say thank you whenever I can, whether it's the cashier who rang up my purchases or the person on the phone who is trying to sell me something. I sometimes feel embarrassed when I thank my partner after we have sex or after I go down on him. I think it's because I want him to know that I'm happy and so thankful that I get to be with him, but I don't want him to feel like he's just doing it for me. Maybe instead of making it feel like "Thank you for letting me give you a blowjob", I should say "Thank you for choosing me be the one to please you!"

Good manners used to be a given. In today's society good manners are considered obsolete and square.

Manners are one of the Rules of Life. I suppose that's one of the reasons I liked Japan, as the Rules of Life are still in force.

"The real test of good manners is to be able to put up with bad manners pleasantly.” Like when you hold the door open for someone and they walk in without saying so much as a "Kiss my ass." My inclination is ALWAYS to say, "You're welcome!", but I remain silent. To do otherwise would be bad manners. Make Women Female Again

Being rude is a weakness that can't be ignored. Everyone has the ability to be rude . . few have the strength not to be.

Very well said alj. I’m amazed at the number of times over the course of the day I do NOT hear good manners. And this is in an office setting. Educated people., as a whole. It’s not that I don’t hear please and thank you, but I don’t hear it enough. I’ve even stressed to my team the importance of this. A customer coming to our organization should feel like a King. All the little things, like good manners, can add up and make an impact. As far as outside of work, I don’t think it should ever go away. As you said it costs nothing, and it shows a great deal of respect. Kudos to you for asking permission.and even more so for using proper grammar. How many times do we hear “can” instead of “may”? Sheesh! I’ll tell you what, I was married to a southern girl for years. Southern girls are brought up with the best manners. Please, thank you, you’re welcome, Sir, ma’am, etc. All the time. And the men as well. Proper greetings, salutations, formalized, etc. There’s a reason southern hospitality is a thing. They do it well. Very well.

I miss people having common courtesy and manners. Society has changed since I grew up. "One Big Sky Covers Us All Equally"
