Henry Higgins, You Got Your Wish – Women Have Unfortunately Become More Like Men
“Why can’t a woman be more like a man?”
The musical, My Fair Lady, was first performed in 1956. In it, Professor Henry Higgins complains women are irrational; they can’t use their heads. He wonders, “Why can’t they grow up like their father instead?” Then, in a poignant verse, he asks,
“Why is thinking something women never do?
Why is logic never even tried?
Straightening up their hair is all they ever do.
Why don’t they straighten up the mess that’s inside?”
Well, Professor Higgins, over half a century later, you have gotten your wish. Women have become more like men. We have straightened up the mess inside our head. Now, we think and use logic.
How to Act Like a Lady
A lady exudes charm and grace in all that she does. Other women look up to her as an example of elegance and are inspired to learn how to act like a lady themselves. A lady is a true treasure in this world. There are also great personal benefits to learning how to act like a lady. Here are just a few of the real benefits:
* Receiving better service
* Earning greater respect
* Improved career prospects
* A growing self-confidence
We all enter this world unaware of the religious, cultural, and social environment in which our life is to be subjected to. Whether we learn from our family, our friends, or our teachers, we somehow manage to gain enough skill to hopefully guide us into adulthood. Some girls are taught deportment and etiquette in their childhood and may be sent to expensive Swiss finishing schools. However, for the majority of women, the secrets of lady-like behavior remain hidden. Some very self-aware women take their own etiquette and deportment training into their own hands and seek an education that will open new doors. For those women who are just beginning their journey in learning how to act like a lady, I would like to offer a few hints that will give your transformation a boost and perhaps trigger the spark of self-awareness.
How To Get Your Man Out Of A Fashion Rut
Women, do you have a husband or boyfriend that just won’t get out of the style rut that he is in? Most men have trouble dressing or grooming themselves, because of the innate fear of being perceived as feminine. Therefore, many tend to dress, talk, and groom themselves in ways that will prove their masculinity, not only to themselves, but also to the outside world – or so they think.
What your husbands don’t realize is that looking rough and gruff all the time isn’t that attractive. Women take care of themselves and keep up with trends, so they typically want a man who does the same. Don’t get me wrong, most women don’t like a man to look or act feminine, but there are ways of being image conscious that do not portray feminine qualities.
The best way to approach the “makeover” subject with your husband is slowly and discreetly. The power of suggestion goes a long way with most men. For instance, if you simply suggest to your husband that he would look good in a certain type shirt, it may spur him into trying it. Other times it might take a hands-on approach on the woman’s part. You may have to buy him the shirt and lay it out with coordinating pants and shoes for him to actually try it on.
