What's the difference between a woman and a lady?

Oh just for grins and giggles, and to mark my 100th post, I thought I'd pose this question. First person who gets the answer right gets 1000 CPF$ from me.

To me...

A woman is a female who can take charge, who can function on her own, who can role with the punches, a female who knows what she wants and what it takes to get it. A woman is a female who is mature and in adulthood.

A lady is more gentle and dependant, more elegant and fragile. She is well manered, and a good member of society, she is conservative and rule abiding.

Thats how i see it.

Good answer, but no cigar. THE answer is very concise. Smiles.

"woman" is a physical/anatomical description indicating female+sexual maturity, "lady" describes a type of female behavior the definition of which is left to the beholder....

the same would be said of "man" and "gentleman"

Ah, so it turns to the old "hombre vs señor" debate this could go on for days! In spanish they say "Señores y Señoras" for "Ladies and Gentlemen" (men are always mentioned first in Spanish !)

Como sabes esto Brad, tu hablas español? muy impresionante...

An intersting poser--Let's say an older man and a younger woman arrive at an entry point at the same time.
Which should apply: Ladies first or age before beauty?

No matter how old you get to be you should never stop being a gentleman.

... I don't get the segue?? .... I only used the man/gentleman example because they're a little more distinct in today's language ( here we go again?). The term "lady" is more oft misused than the term "gentleman"...

On the other topic, out of courtesy, me being the young one? I'd always let a geezer like Tony go through thre door first

Well I used hombre/señor because its more recognizable to non-spanish speakers than mujer (woman) and señora (lady). Also, a lot of people think of Señora as "Mrs." because it means that too. It's just a more polite way to address someone. I don't think that's the answer though, I'm gonna keep thinking about it

How about the *****ing? lmao

Momerator and Robb---both true, but not quite what I had in mind. A clue is in the first sentence: ...just for "grins and giggles"..., meaning, THE answer has an elment of humor. Momerator is on the right track, but a tad serious. This was meant to be fun.
Un beso por Brad y Tony, dos señores quièn son muy amable y chistoso....inteligente, guapo, valiente....STOP ME PLEASE!!!! lol. Smiles.

.....ahhh..... the punchline to a joke...

howsabout: "A lady goes on a date, goes home, then goes to bed. A woman goes on a date, goes to bed, then goes home."

Now.... should we be reading into your username or are you just playing the tease?

ROFL...isn't the answer I had in mind, but damned good...500 cpf$ for you sister girl.
The username...was given to me...would have been ungracious not to accept. Besides...I may tease, but ultimately please. Smiles
