In the above we have highlighted quite a few of the common every-day acts and gestures. But since women are always on the look out to better themselves, I feel it appropriate to highlight some of the deeds that are particularly noticed and appreciated when displayed by a lady.

• When you mention your enemies speak about them with respect – not matter what they did – they are human and still deserve respect (Yes, I do mean you’re ex too!)
• Dress appropriately for the occasion. Yes, this is a tricky one but do you’re best. A lady never deliberately sticks out of the crowd.  
• Also respect what an individual does for a living, she will dress for that job, but knows when to put on a dress.
• Watch when you use the word “Professional”. Like… she doesn’t dress professionally enough or her wardrobe its professional looking. Remember… who you to say this.  Second, to that individual her dress would be professional to her. & third, look inward before you look out ward.
• Cut the whining and complaining. Seriously, who likes a girl that constantly whines and nothing is ever perfect for her? Take what you’ve been given with grace and use it to the best of your ability – however meager it may be.
• Honesty. One of the greatest attributes bestowed upon mankind. Use it with tact and pride.
• Project yourself – Be Real, Be Human and BE Feminine.  Slightly Imperfect with Spirit and Vitality is ok too.
• Don’t try and be a copycat. You’re unique – embrace it.
• Accept the people for who they are and not what you think they need to be. Being unique is a plus.
• Be Charming. Strive to be lovely, use small-talk and your smile.
• Cut out the crudeness. Enough said.
• Know how to handle yourself and your emotions. Know what makes you upset, angry, depressed, and moody. Learn how to curb the unloveliness. Yes, this takes time and effort maybe a bit of actually trying and failing but remember that old saying, “practice makes perfect?”.
• Be punctual. If you’re late – apologize beforehand. Also try to call someone before hand and let them know you'll be a little late getting there.
