I know right...

Yes, I agree.

Ms. Hurricane, thank you for sharing honestly. I struggle with profanity. Although not impossible, I find it difficult to beat the habit of profanity. Any suggestions?

What is locking a knife??

What does "locking knife" mean ?

@@keirameetze831 sorry...i meant licked her knife....

@@MayMay93 sorry....I meant licked knife.

Yes..... I know what you mean. Agreed

Oh yes I hate hearing women go off in public on their own children I hate that it makes me think they abuse them

Yes

Hi. Great question. I hope you do not mind if I answer here. I have changed the subject, and also addressed it by saying, "I'd really rather not discuss the lives of people who are not present. " I'm sure you have many other great topics for conversation,yes?" Then smoothly carry on by complimenting the manners and poise of the host. This is an elegant way to shut down gossip. Great question :-).

@@starrynightsmoonlitskies5497 thankyou so much

@@becomingmama4376 you're certainly welcome :-). Thanks for considering on how to help the world be a better place. God bless you :-)

Same here 🤦🏾‍♀️ Can’t stand it. It’s very uncouth and uncivilized behavior.

I agree

Thanks for the reminder 🙂

Takes away from the thought of pessimism :)

I support you in that.

I believe the advice here could apply to a gentlemen's conversation for the most part. In my experience, the profanity, gossip-type speech (or crass pseudo-compliments) and slang language are the most frequently encountered issues, but the explanation provided about these points and why they should be avoided seems sound enough for anyone, male or female.

Ann oh most definitely! I agree! My comment/question was sort of rhetorical because I really enjoyed the talk… But I recognize that a lot of men need to hear what you said--often times they will only receive information from other men. So I’m like -wow I wish I could find the male version of this to share with a man who will receive the information… Do you know what I mean?

@@SayconTalks Yes! Thank you for the clarification, I can't believe the context went completely over my head!! I have been seeing some gentleman's behavior KZfaq videos recently, and some with gentlemen hosting, so perhaps someone has done an official male equivalent by now? I hope...

Ann yes there definitely are a few gentlemen KZfaq channels out there now which is wonderful

Yes please...for my husband...for years I've been trying to get him to stop texting in CAPITAL!! he just won't stop. Please help.

I see where you're both coming from. I adore Modern Lady's channel and really appreciate any young woman who's so polite and ladylike. I also love gentleman with manners and hate double standards. I haven't seen anything suggesting Modern Lady has any, but because so many do, I think I understand your point of view. I don't think cursing is a big deal. Apparently people who are more intelligent actually curse more, go figure. But I hate a foul mouth. It's not appropriate to constantly curse everywhere. Too many people have no filters at work, curse around children, etc. I try to watch it on the curse words. When I do, they're more effective when I bust them out! Most of us vent, but we have to be careful not to gossip. I never share malicious gossip, but most people need to get better about not saying anything about someone you wouldn't say to their face. This is one area I'm working on because I'm not the most confrontational and sometimes I just need to vent if someone hurts my feelings or I don't know how to navigate a situation. Slang is whatever to me. I think certain words/expressions aren't too bad, but a lot of the time it can sound awkward. I think some people are more interested in sounding classy, and some people are more interested in sounding trendy. Kind of like fashion. To each his own. As for the pessimism and complaints, I don't think most of us enjoy being around someone who's negative and whines all the time. I totally believe we all have every right to have opinions, be passionate, and not be afraid to speak our minds, and talk about genuine problems and concerns. I'm a feminine feminist and think all the above applies to both men and women. My motto for both genders is be kind, polite, and positive. I definitely don't think it's okay for one gender to get away with all kinds of language and aggression and that another gender has to be some sort of stepford wife who's always happy, never debates and issues, and has no opinions on politics.

Smh that's the problem
