A quick note, while I have the time and battery life.

I met up with a sales person at one well known four star hotel in Bali. She has this exotic look, a voluptous body and a great smile. She doesn't have that great walk, but it's not too bad. It was when we started our "business" breakfast, I was totally put off by her.

The way she puts food in her mouth, the way she chews her food, how she adjusted her hair (to make it messier than it was) seriously made me think twice about her. I do not know her personally, but from the 3 things I mentioned above, I superficially judged her that she came from a lower background family, with not much manner in the house.

That was a business breakfast where only fruits and a few pastries were on the plate. How ugly would it be when she eats ribs, drumsticks, and shell fish or eating with her fingers? How would it look when she goes to a formal Gala dinner with various course food and a few too many cutleries on the table and her in a beautiful evening gown?

I am in no position to criticize her, but I just couldn't help wondering. This is not the first time I see beautiful ladies with horrible table manner. It might not be a big thing for most guys, but for me girls are much more attractive when they have good personality and manner, not just the look. >_<

บางคนดู สวย-หล่อ เฉพาะตอนนั่งเฉยๆ...อย่าได้ขยับปากพูด หรือ อ้าปากกิน เป็นอันขาด...ความสวย-หล่อ ที่พบเห็นครั้งแรกจะอันตธานในบัดดล

ปล. อยูที่นี่พี่ยังคงรอญาติมาเยี่ยมอย่างมีความหวังเด้อ...เด๋วพาไปกิน "ยำดอกขจรกุ้งสด" + "ทอดมันปลากราย" ที่อร่อยที่สุดในนครนายก

I don't know what to say about this situation.I perhaps just watched her and say nothing.If she's my sister i will tell her right away.Peoples came from different back ground,She should know how to do or not do.I saw many girls like this beautiful outside if she doesn't move ok.When she start talk,walk,eat etc..it's very different.Nobody perfect but we can learn.I can't imagine when she is in Gala dinner.

เขาเรียกว่า สวยแต่รูป จูบไม่หอม ของแท้เลยค่ะ

(If a woman has only a beautiful body, you won’t find that she smells sweet when you kiss her.)

Some people may not handsome or beautiful but but they have attractive personality by the way they talk, walk , eat . . .etc. . . .

I used to have a friend but we are not close. She has a beautiful face but all will just disappear when she starts talking especially when she eats. Because she keep talking when she has a mouthful of food. I told her many times but she ignored it so I stop. I feel sorry for her as she is beautiful.

It's definitely a turn off for guys too. Just the thought of touching someone with no manners is enough to make me say, "ok, do it quick...then you have to leave!"

อยากกินยำดอกขจรกุ้งสดดดดดด...

ฝากถึงอัมแบ็ค จะชวนใครไปกินยำดอกขจรกุ้งสด หล่ะก็อย่าลืมฝึกมารยาทบนโต๊ะอาหารด้วยน๊ะ คริ คริ

we need a snap picture of her too, c'mon.

"ยำดอกขจรกุ้งสด" + "ทอดมันปลากราย" ! ที่ให้ฉันหิว .

I have a colleague who have unbearable eating manners. Talking with mouthful of food and words from her lips are unpleasant. Loud and nasty... Apparently we all know at least one of this kind. I might take a snap pic of her while eating and post it for the world. ;D

The problem is purely hers and the bad thing about is that she might not even realize! I also know several people who are intelligent and/or witty and/or pretty successful and/or in an important position and then have some habits that repel/disgust other people. Even worse if these guys have to have contacts to fulfil their job like in the marketing or sales fields.

Actually, I pity these people up to a certain extent because basically, it's not their fault as they have been brought up like this and for them it's normal. On the other hand, they could observe, copy and learn from people they are interacting with.

I am thinking your experience is not "personality" ...but more like the "first" or continuing impression is everything...

you only get one chance for that first impression, and if you continue interacting

with someone, every new situation puts them ( and let's face it ---you too) into somewhat a new impression situation (say casual breakfast with just you in the morning, but a formal dinner party at night with many strangers) we have many opportunities to fail or not live up to our potential.

--- how we "perform in different company can leave lasting impressions. The solo dinner date can be very different from going to a party with friends.

Bali eh!!!! poor you!!!!

I know a few blokes that have a severe lack of tables manners....& when you try to tell them nicely they get ever so offended! If they are sitting in McD's it doesn't matter, but if they are sitting in a nice restaurant them puh-lease! remember what your mama taught ya!! lol

I've never beeto Bali but from what you wrote I'm assuming she's not Thai?

If so, maybe that is common for their culture. Probably not the best person meeting with international guests but it might be normal in her culture.

Well I've many coworkers in other countries such as China or Indonesia. I met many Indonesian people and I've never find out the bad manner when they eat or drink at all.
