Stay away from these types!! 1. She values education and career over marriage and relationship. She’s always throwing statements like “Marriage isn’t an achievement” 2. At age 30+ she has more liquor in her refrigerator than fruits and vegetables. 3. She can take down more shots than any of her peers at 30+ who have kids 4. She’s into smoking cigarettes and addicted to weed. 5. Her idea of fun at age 30+ is a night out with the girls. 6. At age 30+ she still insists on only dating men based on what their career is. “He’s a lawyer” “He’s a doctor” “He’s an engineer” 7. The idea of cooking for a man is a total turn-off to her. 8.

Without good manners and etiquette, the world becomes a rude and chaotic mess.
The importance of manners in life cannot be overstated, but I’d like to point out a few of the most powerful benefits.
1. INSTILLS CONFIDENCE
We gain confidence by identifying the right thing to do in any given situation—and then doing it.
When you understand basic social manners, you know how to act appropriately, which helps alleviate doubt and self-consciousness.
2. MAKES THE BEST FIRST IMPRESSION
First impressions are important. They set the stage for future relationships and opportunities.
When you meet someone new, they don’t know anything about you. Naturally, assumptions are made based on how you carry yourself and behave—both in speech and manner.
3. OPENS DOORS TO OPPORTUNITIES
Perhaps it’s a controversial opinion, but I believe good manners can open doors that even the best education cannot.
One of the many benefits of having good manners is the unforeseen, potentially life-changing opportunities made possible by them.
4. CULTIVATES A HEART FOR OTHERS
Think about manners in action. They look like:
Holding the door for others
Offering help
Chewing with your mouth closed
Making eye contact during conversation
At the very root of good manners is a heart that is fixed on others before self.
5. SAFEGUARDS AGAINST SELFISHNESS
Selfishness ruins relationships and damages reputations.
Not only that, it breeds loneliness. After all, no one wants to be around people who only care about themselves.
It’s practically impossible to be mindful of others and selfish at the same time.
6. SPARKS JOY
There is great joy in helping others. While happiness is based on happen-stance, joy can be had no matter the circumstances.
Deep satisfaction comes from knowing your actions and mannerisms are having a positive impact on those around you.
7. INSPIRES RECIPROCATION
We don’t practice good manners because we expect reciprocation, but it’s often a benefit nonetheless.
It’s easy to be nice to others when they’re nice to us.
We’re more willing to share with others when they share with us.
8. LAYS THE FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE
It takes more than hard work to be successful in life. When you pair that hard work with good manners, you create a dynamic duo that can plow through any obstacle.
Proper etiquette (beyond the dining table) is admirable, and what people admire, they also respect.
9. FOSTERS BETTER RELATIONSHIPS
What kind of people do you want to be friends with? To work with?
Most likely, they wouldn’t be people who are rude, self-serving, loud-mouthed, and overall unpleasant.
It’s natural to be drawn toward people who are polite, friendly, and mindful of others.
Good relationships are a key to living in harmony, and social etiquette lays the groundwork to positive interactions that can eventually develop into those relationships.
10. MAKES OTHERS FEEL NOTICED AND APPRECIATED
Do you know how many people go through their day feeling invisible and uncared for? It’s heartbreaking to think about, but it’s true.
It tells others that they are worth a few moments of your time. In a world that feels busier by the minute, the gift of time is one of the greatest gifts you can give someone.
