Elegant ladies

[CavLancer]

Of course I've met elegant ladies. Did I get the question right? Any girl or woman can be elegant by choosing a higher calling, by being a human being of compassion, as well as grace, and reaching for a higher star. By that I mean girls/women that make something out of nothing, are givers more than takers, and whose style is as natural as their smiles. I've met loads.

Are you from France by any chance Pegasus_77?

^ Kyriakos means the woman is has the emotional maturity of a 12-year-old (give or take a year, since I'm not sure what age elementary school ends in Greece).

haha, I didnt pay attention to “emotionally”.
But, seriously, she was so immature?Kyriakos shall elaborate it.

 

[Kyriakos]

Yes, she was (is?).

Anyway, she is very elegant (in my view), and very intelligent, but she is also quite child-like. I wish her well. The situation was rather bad, though, i hope things will get better with the engagement they have

No but I wish I were.
I had a HS classmate who is so elegant and every now and then, I miss her. 2 years ago I had a good chance to be closer with her but I blew it up by doing something stupid .. ..following some misunderstandings
God, she is always cute and elegant...every once in a while, when I saw her status, I couldn't help but blame myself for being immature.

Been there, done that. Life goes on. Next time try to be less in the moment, and take things from a higher place. Like being in a forest, can't see anything, and being on the hill above the forest, can see for miles. Got to have perspective when dealing with someone you see as above you. Remember, if you're down in the forest she won't see you anyway.

That's confusing as hell.

So are the ladies of the West. You're doomed.

I met another girl, who is like a less version of the elegant one.she liked me a lot but I was not inclined to her. Guess she is not as cute as the elegant one. :shrug:

I like that standard of elegance.

First time I've ever used that smiley, first time it applies. Sometimes I want to give a thumbs up on a serious subject but not add in the over the top happy guy. Sometimes I want to put in the happy guy but not signal approval where it doesn't belong.

Finally Narz, you gave me the opportunity to use it and for that I thank you.

Besides, I can't just put in the smiley I also have to say something and this is the best I could come up with.

Just to note that yesterday i decided to typically re-establish contact with that girl, and it seems the old situation is now resolved. I suppose this is good, cause there is no need for antipathies lingering around if it can be helped.

Rather, to me an elegant lady is a woman where elegant is not just the attribute of the cloths for a special evening but of the women itself. And that to me means being just painfully presumptuous.

It seems to me that you have the wrong definition of "elegant" in mind. What you're describing reminds of a line from a Northern Pike's song, "She ain't pretty, she just looks that way." That's not elegance.

Elegance is a bad sign because it shows obsession with the superficial.

So many of you don't have a clue what "elegance" really means it seems. From the Wiki:

Elegance is a synonym for beautiful that has come to acquire the additional connotations of unusual effectiveness and simplicity. It is frequently used as a standard of tastefulness particularly in the areas of visual design, decoration, the sciences, and the aesthetics of mathematics. Elegant things exhibit refined grace and dignified propriety.

My definition was more elegant.

Well at least you actually understand what "elegance" means. It's kind of sad that so many people equate it with nothing more than physical appearance. There's a lot more to it than that.

I thought Britain was infested with foreign women.

Unfortunately not enough.

The term (its version in each language) likely has other connotations in different languages. For example here the word for it mostly means beauty of the body, if it is used for an actual human overall. Beauty of clothing style too. If it is used for actions or words, it signifies other kinds of positive and refined qualities.

While you could call a woman/girl 'elegant' even if she does not have a 'good-looking' body, i think that the term is mostly meant for that as a first prerequisite, and can ony be cancelled thus if the person (man or woman) has crude ways so the elegance is not overall. Otherwise i personally would use a further characterisation, to place the quality which is argued to be elegant.
Obviously it follows from the above that i too sort of misused the term in my first post, cause i claimed a very good-looking girl was elegant, while i also claimed she was likely on the 'dumb' side of things.

Here it generally implies a total package when it's used to describe a person. Someone can dress well and be attractive but not be considered elegant because of their actions, and vice versa. In fact simply being attractive has very little to with it, at least up to a point. It's what they do with their looks that mainly counts.

Britain is certainly infested.

Spoiler :

Not only with foreign women. Obviously.

It's pretty much the same as chic. But in a different language.
