Many good manners to count:

-Man hold door and pull out chairs for woman.

-Man paying dates.

-Man kisses woman's hand in sign of value and respect.

-Covering mouth while sneeze and sniff.

-Using appropriate words - appreciations and apologizes according to the situation.

-Respect older people - also children.

-Exercising and performing other's rights. While driving. While walking - while being on a line.

-Picking the content of the language carefully specially in certain places and around children.

-Respecting other's values, believes, belief and outlooks.

-Appreciating the one or those who provided the food.

-Not raising voice on older people or parents.

ect . . .

The good manner i find is not necessary is at the table, when someone (a woman in particular) gets up due any reason, everyone else get off of their seat in sign of respect. Which is very annoying to me. Maybe someone wants to get up for many reasons all the time. So we should get off the chair all the time like a clown ? Not good for me.

I love it when a man holds the door open for me still. However, as long as I can use my toes to open a door I guess that one is not necesarry! :0(

Good manners would be an abundant use of words like "Please", "Thank you", and "Excuse me".

Bad manners is the purposeful absence of them.

A traditional etiquette that men would take their hats off when meeting a woman or stepping indoors seems to have become obsolete, though I don't agree it should be.

Bad😣 rushing/speed walking fast,  pass old folks, without common courtesy to say excuse me so the old person can stop walking and/or step aside.

It's kinda scary when young people or not comes up behind you and there's little room to walk pass you.

This is not widely known, but when hugging it is generally considered bad manners to be the first to let go.

It's very important to me that you have good enough manners to say:

You have

-mascara  ALL over your face

-your fly open

-toilet paper in your pants

-a tag still on

Anything that is NOT embarrassing is ANNOYING manners to point out because I GOT IT OKAY?!

An example of bad manners is actually reaching over into someone else's personal space and zipping their backpack (or anything else for that manner) and then saying you FIXED IT gurl you did not fix anything it's BROKEN and my hairs caught in it now and it's just a mess so do everyone a favor next time and mind your own backpack.

Most gendered forms of etiquette I don't much care for. Politeness shouldn't be gender-specific.
