If you are truly a lady you would never have to say you were one. That is as simple as it gets. I can understand their point.

You obviously missed the whole point of what everyone was saying. Was there any point in addressing such a "lady" to begin with?

the point that some people were making were not addressing the question i had. the point i was wishing to make was and still is......why is it okay for someone to call them selves a gentleman but not a lady....

I see the term lady as an adjective similar to short, fat, kind, compassionate, knowledgable....etc.

as i used the term butch as an example ...if i said i was butch...then it would be understood...a lady is a similar descriptive term, men who refer to themselves as gentlemen to me have distictive behavior patterns to me at least...I doubt that i am in the minority there...but that is just my opinion.....by the way your own profile uses a few of the descriptive terms that i listed above.

have a great day...and drive safely

That is just ridiculous. Because of who, Margaret Thatcher? How many other terms does that logic apply to?

Absolutely, I do not think myself better than anyone else in this world on an intrinsic level, I guess it goes with my anthropology degree, you see, you are not the only one with an education.

I dont think theres a single thing wrong with refering to yourself as a lady in your profile. If the word lady aligns with your own personal definition of what a lady is and you believe yourself to fit that description, its no different than refering to yourself as a woman. I usally say girl or woman, when refering to myself.

If you do not indentify with terms like whore and slut, I think thats good to put in your profile, this way you wont attract men who like sluts.

I dont see anything wrong with any of it. Even your implication that being a whore is beneath you. I mean, its your profile, if thats how you feel about your personal definition of whore, who could blame you for showing your genuine feelings on your own personal corner of the web. No one is forced to read it. And I would imagine that the people who share your feelings will flock to you while others who dont, simply wont. Dont give a second thought to the unsolicited emails. Those are from men who like your pic but are pissed off because they cant call you a slut.

Wow, this turned into a catfight in a hurry! Like the OP, I do not care to be addressed as a slut, whore, bitch, etc. I don't feel that my sexual preference has made me any less of a woman OR a lady. Granted, I probably wouldn't fit the strict definition of a lady while dressed in leather and swinging a flogger, but as one of the posters has already pointed out, you can fall into more than one category. That being said, I would NEVER appreciate someone calling me a slut or whore at any time. If you don't mind it, that's fine, but please don't lump me into that category just because I share this site with you.

Ladies... and gentleman (Obey1).....Thank you I guess my thinking isn't totally off base...I still havent gotten the answer but i alos suppose there really isnt an answer after all....Only a lady or a gentleman would understand what a lady is.

We are a different breed not a better breed just a different one. and I suppose asking a cockerspaniel to understand a golden retriever's view is just like trying to teach a pig to sing..

you waste your time and you annoy the pig!

thank you all for your personal notes...and Lady Ellen...I actually own property so i guess technically speaking by the truest sense of the word i have been a lady since 1995....although it would be nice to have the official title!

I would say we have to turn to the immortal Tom Jones for our true definition of a lady.

AND STYX.........

Lady, when you're with me I'm smiling
Give me all your love
Your hands build me up when I'm sinking
Touch me and my troubles all fade
Lady, from the moment I saw you
Standing all alone
You gave all the love that I needed
So shy, like a child who has grown

'Cause you're my lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and lovely
You're my lady

Lady, turns me on when I'm lonely
Give me all your charm
Evenings when she lays down beside me
She takes me gently into her arms

Lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and lovely
You're my lady

CandleInTheWind, it is you I am looking for.

Should you find yourself without a home, simply come hither, and I shall crown you for all time:

LadySubSweetMistress

(Pretty, good, eh?)
