It will be his greatest source of earthly joy and give him incentive to succeed, give him something to work for, and something to live for. It is not selfish to desire this kind of love from your man. You can awaken this kind of love in your husband. To developlanguor, work to overcome these habits.Celestial love is a term used in Fascinating Womanhood to represent the highest kind of love a man can feel for a woman. The opposite of languor is a nervous, high-strung manner such as biting the fingernails, jingling keys, twistering a handkerchief or fingering the nail. Languor is a calm, quiet air, similar to that of a cat relaxing before fireplace. Have you noticed when women talk to babies or tiny children they tend to make gentle noises? It can be fascinating to men, even when bestowed on an infant. However, when a women is around a baby, cooing is spontaneus. Women tend to suppress the tendency to coo and purr around men, thinking it silly. Probably every women who has been a feminine coquette has impulsively spoken this way to the man she loves. ? If these extremes are avoided, the laugh will be acceptable.Ĭooing and purring may sound a bit syrupy, but we should not overlook it. Don’t open your mouth wide, throw your head back, slap your hands on your thighs, roar, cackle, snort, or anything coarse or vulgur. But remember, our main objective is not only a good, clear voice but a gentle, feminine one.Īvoid any tendency to the masculine laugh such as deep or loud tone. Raise or lower your voice as needed for expression. An excellent means of bringing expression into your voice is to read old fairy tales aloud, as they cover good and evil, joy and sorrow.When reading them, express emotion- eagerness, delight, enthusiasm, wonder, love, pity and every sentiment. Speak slowly, pronounce words distinctly, and bring gentleness into your voice. To improve your voice, practice talking in the privacy of your room. And no man likes mumbling, dull, monotonous, or singsong voice, because it indicates the character behind the voice is equally dull and uninteresting. No man likes a coarse, loud, vulgar tone in a woman any more than a woman likes an effeminate tone in a man. And don’t let your voice suggest mannish effieciency or course boldness. If you ever learning to walk and use your hands correctly, you tend to modulate your voice to harmonize with your manner.But,if you discover your voice is spoiling the impression you are trying to create, make an effort to change it. To induce a light walk, imagine you weigh ninety-five lbs. Walk in a light, graceful, natural manner. Take a man’s arm lightly.Īvoid a heavy gait or long strides, such as the way men walk. Never shake a man’s hand with strength and vigor. Never pound on the table to put over a point. Don’t wave your hands in the air or use them firmly in expressing yourself. The feminine manner is attractive to men because it is such a contrast to their own masculine strength and firmness.Īvoid stiff, brusque movements. T he feminine manner is the motions of a woman’s body, the way she walks, talks, uses her hands, the sound of her voice, her facial expressions, and her conversation.
