Manners

= GOOD MANNERS BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN = There are some good or bad manners in relationships between people. And especialy between men and women that they have to know for succesful building their relationships. For instance, men should open the door before a woman comes in. That would be nice for every of us. When a man invite a woman out on a date he should pay for a lady everywhere : a restaurant, a taxi, a cinema, a club. As far as women are concerned, I think that we just should respectively behave with men, listen to them, not contradict them, as they are the strongest and the smartest ones.

It might be offensive for some people to be criticised about their appearence. It is very good manners when you greet your teachers at the university. It creats a good impression when you are attentive to other people's problems and ready to help them. It could be misinterpreted when you don't keep subordination talking with strange people.
