They speak with humility, avoiding highlighting their own achievements or desires.

They do not speak openly about sexual or sentimental issues without beating around the bush.

Example:

Instead of “I like you,” they could say: “You are… pleasant to me, and I enjoy your company.”

3. Soft and slow tone

The voice is soft, clear, polite.

Avoid raising your voice, interrupting, or speaking in a dominant manner.

The tone communicates femininity, composure and self-control.

They use “sir,” “madam,” “young man,” “gentleman,” even with acquaintances.

Example:

“Excuse me, Mr. Harper, I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”

“Good heavens!” (mild surprise)

“That’s not proper.” (when something is inappropriate)

“A lady doesn’t talk about such things.”

“What will the neighbors think…”

“I’m sure he’s a good man, if a bit… impulsive.”
