What comes to mind when you think about male to female or female to male Gender Etiquette?

When you are spending time with the opposite gender how differently do you behave than when you spend time with friends of the same gender or in the company of other couples when you are by yourself?

When I am out on a date , I enjoy a man as romantic partner! We have chemistry.
If I'm out with my activity partner, we enjoy outings. as friends like any female friend or in small group

Either way I am always myself in personality. I just see it as romantic chemistry or just Platonic friendships.

When I am at work with the guys or with my friends. We have a totally different language that is not fit for female ears.

And I am sure the gals have a language of their own when men are not around.

Untrue I speak to everyone the same way except kids and animals lol maybe it’s just me then 🤦‍♀️

For the most part, I agree with Aroundtheworld37.

I act naturally.
Yet I do control my etiquette when in the company of children or persons of high sensitivity.

I find that as I get older I have less tendency to "walk on egg shells" around other adults.

I’ve found most people find it refreshing when they meet me I’m just me no matter where I’m at or who I’m with...it’s easier than trying to put on a show you know what I mean? But kids and animals obviously I tailor my sailor behavior lol

I'm me, regardless..

If I have to watch, or control what i say or do, be mindful of that continuosly, or not be myself, that would make me uncomfortable...and would make me wonder why i am spending time with this person.
To be clear this is different than going for an interview, or to someone's grandparents house where you need to be on your best and proper behaviour.

This is assuming I am with the person because I *want* to be, and we have a lot in common...and can relate to each other..and therefore *should* be ourselves.
I can't stand fakeness, pretense, inauthenticity.....be real, or go away.

Mind you..I don't fart, spit, pick my nose, or any of those other things as a general rule around *any* type of person.
But if I have to watch my language (I'm quite salty), or sit, or dress or behave a certain way that isn't me...then...nope...see ya.

One can act fake intitially to (cough) "attract" someone..
But..what's the point?
You can't keep it up forever, and eventually your true self will come out..so, better to be authentic straight away...

I love it ....you rock bluegrass ‍♀️

Meh...

If anyone gets offended by something I
say or do... They'll get over it.

If they don't get over it?
Well... That's just one less thin skinned
individual, that I'll have to put up with.

Either way, it's a win/win.

🤦‍♀️‍♀️it’s true I approve this message ...your so bad tho!

I try to behave equal with close friends. My closest friends are a mixture of men, gay, women... I am usually in a light, chill aura with them
But I am more reserved and civil when I am with new acquaintances, men and women alike.

I tend to treat others with respect tho.
I'm also honest with others but not brutally honest to the point I try to hurt them.
I won't "Bite My Tongue" but I will try to rephrase something so not to offend.
I do that while interacting with other men too.
I see it as a difference between tact and bluntness.
So often, how you interact with someone dictates all subsequent interaction with that person. If I treat someone with respect and equality its much easier to spend time around them.

When alone and encountering couples, I tend to address the couple as a whole instead of individuals. Unless some distinction of individuality is warranted. If they are having issues with their relationship to the point where it is evident to anyone, I try not to take sides against either one.
Its really none of my business.

I went out yesterday to pick up some milk and do a bit of shopping.
I decided to go to a walmart two towns away that is bigger and better stocked than the one in mu smaller town.

When I got to the line to cash out, there was a man two people ahead of me on his phone screaming at someone. He was loud and people were looking around, some were laughing and some were captivated by his verbal abuse to whoever it was he was on the phone with.
I excused myself from the line and went to the self-checkout at the other end of the store. I wasn't entertained, not interested at all and frankly, I didn't want to have his words in my head the rest of the day.
He was rude, crude and had no respect for anyone around him.
It might be one thing if this were a lone occurrence but I have experienced this type of behavior many times before in different cities and towns.

Etiquette is not on people's minds.
Tact, respect and social honesty is hard to find.
'Extreme' is the new norm.

People constantly complain about being treated like shidt and think that gives them the 'right' to treat others like shidt.
It bleeds over to personal interactions with those in their circles.
Those behaviors get 'dismissed' because we know that person but do we really know them? Using etiquette and tact is a form of respect being shown.

I try to make an effort to not pick my nose or light my farts as much as I usually do when out with male friends.

I think I act about the same. Conversation is a bit different. I talk about cars and dating problems more with guy friends and vacations and kids with my girlfriends. I try to have the same manners around both. I try not to say stupid things around my girlfriends but don't worry about it around my guy friends. I know he isn't listening anyway.

It's a thought-provoking topic because I'd like to believe that I act the same way, regardless of setting or group, but that can't be true. When it's corporate setting, hierarchy applies and foul opinions are sometimes greeted with respectful silence when in a less formalized setting, someone would be wearing a drink. Does that make me a fraud? Most likely, but have gotten used to roof over head and occasional hot meal.

That it's based on large part on the social settings/purpose, the relationships, the ages, and the number of people involved?


Very differently, depending on if it's work or a party or team building exercise or school or rescuing someone trapped in a car, or at a hospital, or at a movie theater, or sitting at home, or if they're 8, or 80, or my age, if there is a lot of comingling among a lot of different people/couples.


...I don't think you know what "etiquette" means.

You're right.
Silly me, I thought it meant "the customary code of polite behavior in society or among members of a particular profession or group".
Perhaps you could enlighten us all on what it really means?


So what you're saying is you have no baseline personality or code that defines your interactions with people? You treat everyone differently, every single time?


Yeah, every single 'other' person that reads that understands it was meant to represent a personal view. Are you sure you're not an AI program?


From the history I have read of your responses in these forums I don't think you understand what personality is or if you even have one of your own.
