Fashion trends replace one another, and technologies improve our lives. However, we still want to be women, weak, vulnerable and, nevertheless, decisive and active.

The image of femininity is one of the most popular in literature, media, and life. Femininity is associated with the figures of Marylin Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Jacqueline Onassis, and Princess Diane. These women are feminine in their sexuality, which is not even close to openness and abuse. They are distinct from the millions of women around the world. Their manners are perfect. They possess outstanding strength and self-control. They are active and decisive. They embody a dream many women want to come true.

Refined women are becoming extinct, but they refuse to admit the sad truth of life. Whenever you say that refined ladies are rare, you will get a stream of emotional responses, filled with indignation and disagreement. Women are becoming less feminine, but they do not want to see it. They lose their feminine identity, while trying to withstand the pressures of the postmodern world. Definitely, many women are not guilty of not being feminine. They fight hard to earn their living, support their children, care for their parents, and constantly educate themselves. However, many of them still manage to retain that unique spirit of femininity and inner vulnerability that distinguishes them from their male counterparts.

In the meantime, those who have everything to remain feminine fail to use their feminine resources effectively. Can you imagine a girl having burping contests with her boyfriend in public places?? Can you imagine a girl using “F” words every other time? Can these girls consider themselves feminine? Apparently, you already have an answer to these questions. You cannot be a man and a woman at once. You need to choose what you wish to be. The art of being feminine is challenging but always rewarding. There are a number of simple recommendations you should follow to move closer to the icons of femininity.

First, check your manners. Saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ cannot suffice to make you feminine. Be modest, learn to listen to others, and pay attention to what other have to say. Show interest in everything that happens around you, and respond timely without rude words or abrupt movements.

Second, learn to be a master of your life. Through a pleasing and polite demeanor you can conquer the circumstances and manage them for your own benefit! Carry the spirit of self-confidence and behave like you have a strong life position. Forget about aggressiveness and use your grace and charm to manage your life situation.

Finally, being a refined lady begins with choosing to be a refined lady. You cannot be refined or feminine if you don’t want it! Remember that everything you say or do shows your character and attitudes toward life. Your manners are the mirror of your character and spirit. Choose your actions and decisions thoroughly, and you will have all chances to become another iconic woman!
