There's a really good example of handshaking etiquette in Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South. Thornton offers Margaret his hand and she refuses because she finds it offensive as they're not close. He takes offence at her refusal because he's not a gentleman by birth and is used to handshaking as a bussinessman. Later they both realise that the other meant no offence and shake hands!

@killiansirishbeer Год назад

I was thinking about this too 😄 In the BBC series she also gets scolded by her father later and she says she sorry, but he took her by surprise and she was very tired, because she was doing task of housekeeping which she wasn't used to doing. I don't remember if this is also in the book 🤔

I'm a woman who is nearly 70, and what you describe as a woman's prerogative to shake hands was how we acted too when I was young. In fact, I hardly ever shook hands. When I was introduced to someone new, I would bow my head briefly, or nod to them. If I stuck out my hand a man would shake it, but not otherwise

I love the detail on handshakes that explains so much about that moment between Marianne and Willoughby and also why Emma was wondering if she did offer her hand to Knightley. I always thought it was just a description to explain the feelings of the two men; I never thought it was also etiquette! So cool!!

Granted, he was born in 1906 and grew up during WWI, but my grandfather wore a hat whenever he was outside (exceptions for covered porches and breezeways). He always tipped his hat went encountering adult women EXACTLY the way you demonstrated. I'd never thought about why he always kept the inside of the hat pointed toward him or why used one hand over the other. Thanks for explaining it to us! As an aside, he would lift his hat by pressing the top together and lifting it while keeping it over his head and tilted slightly backward when encountering men. Was that a thing in Regency times as well or just something that evolved later?

@ElizabethJones-pv3sj Год назад

The ability to grab a hat by it's crown rather than it's brim would depend on the type of hat. Some hats have a pinch in the top that allows it to be grabbed by the top (e.g. Fedora) but the two traditional 19th century British gentlemen's hats (topper and bowler) would have to be grabbed by the brim because to hold it by the crown with any security you would have to completely crush it out of shape and use significant force.

You manage to take a simple practice and break it down in a way that makes its relevance understood. I'm thinking of Wickham tipping his hat to Mr. Darcy when they meet in Meryton. I will have to go look that up, because now I have questions. Does he take his hat all the way off? Does he show the INSIDE of his hat as an impertinence? And the GLARE from Mr. Darcy . . . oh, I do love a good Etiquette Intrigue!

First, second, and third foot positions then bow, and the occasional fifth position. Well that explains where a few things in ballet came from.

Fifth position is just too much for the sake of a bow, in my opinion. These posh people are just too formal.

According to my reading on ballet's history, while it might have started with street performers, it really got started with court etiquette, especially in the court of Louis XIV, so it makes total sense that the formal bow would resemble ballet movements! We don't really use third position in ballet, though... Still funny. 🤣

@rebekahedmunds7542 Год назад

I always assumed that bowing with one foot forward was the most proper/becoming way to bow since it seems the most elegant. It is so fun to know the real answer!! It does make me wonder, though, was that form of bowing ever considered the most fashionable way to bow? Was there ever a period when that was "in"?

@ElizabethJones-pv3sj Год назад

The term old fashioned really does say that it must have been fashionable at some time in the past, and the fact that it's still being mentioned must mean it's no more than a generation or two in the past (e.g. that's how you'd expect a 60 year old to bow but not a 20 year old). Many years ago I used to go to Renaissance dance classes and in the 16th century men and women were both expected to bow in a way that is much more like a curtsey with one foot sweeping to the back and then shifting your weight onto the back foot. This means your whole body lowers down but you keep your torso upright. So it makes sense that one thing would have changed at a time, in between the 16th and 19th century the torso movement was added and then the feet were changed.

Dear Madam, as a gentleman about town, I can confirm that the aforementioned hat / bow combination is fraught with physical and social peril if performed inaccurately by an otherwise well meaning dandy. Why just the other day, whilst effecting said bow / tip manoeuvre to Lady A at Hyde Park Corner, your sorrowful correspondent inadvertently sent Lady B carreering into the path of Her Majesty's Household Cavalry. The ensuing equine / Lady melee caused such uproar as to provoke an urgent question in the House of Lords that very same day.

At 0:58, I think that is a beggar bowing since he has the front of hit hat in his hand and the crown or bowl of the hat almost facing up. Some of the other examples are really great, at 0:35 you have a gentleman holding his rounded hat from the side to prevent any misunderstanding. It was easier to prevent misunderstandings when folks had tri-cornered hats because the back was wider than the front but in this era...

As a history buff and bit of a man who hates the seemingly total lack of manners in the modern world, this was pretty interesting. Came across that while I was looking for a video on the sweeping valves they did in the 16th century or thereabouts where a man put his foot Way Forward and then would sweep his hat in a grand fashion. Or similarly where he would put his hands out from his side and turn his palms up. I can't really describe it. I just thought it looked very elegant.

So, despite being a twenty-first-century American, I bow on the regular. I have a sort of "passing bow" for when I make eye contact with someone while standing, which is more of a slight inclination, and a more proper bow for meeting someone, which is as described here. I wear vintage suiting looks most every day, so I think it's more natural for someone like me. I also ballroom dance, and I end almost every dance with spinning out my partner and then doing a full bow while holding their hand. I'm probably in a group of a select few Americans alive who can say they've waltzed and bowed in full white tie.

I see a telecaster I started playing guitar in 1984 so I have a few opinions and comments to express about this unique instrument. First of all NOTHING has the twang of a telecaster which I think leads to a country or rockabilly sound. I grew up learning how to play rock blues funk fusion folk and classical, I never liked contry music until one day I started dating a country girl and the sound grew on me. A few frief comments about the sounds and players I admire most who have mastered this kind of sound. Dwight Yoakam - blame the vain - probably my favorite country artist - the grit combined with that distinctive twang like no other, I have come to love this sound ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jvyQymDV6Cw.html Matt Nathanson - I consider Matt a modern folk singer, he has a flok kind of sound when plying solo acoustic but when he plays with a band his music takes on a alt pop rock sound kind of in the same vein as Gin Blossoms and GooGoo Dolls. This concert again like the above has that grit combined with twang to form such an alluring tone especially on the tune curve of the earth. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hnu0SDi3PjA.html If you investigate Matt's music you will find his level if writing consistently good songs is surprising and astonishing, he is also a master lyricist - all we are has a line every day is the start of something beautiful, a little further down the playlist is a different video for furures here has the line science and progress got nothing on sunsets ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TgTYS3KkhnI.html Roy Buchanan for blues ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v4e2VgycfSw.html Danny Gatton is a legend ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GvP2for9pT4.html I think most musicians would agree Allbert Lee was the undisputed mater and virtuoso ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uJmw3EsAW-M.html sorry I hijacked your thread, thought you would be interested

Another important question: If we bring back bows an hat tipping, should women tip their baseball caps and hats too (as it would no longer recquire 15 minutes for hat pins removal)? And also, cyclists' helm tipping should not be required from any gender.

@minute_craft1256 Год назад

Bowing is definitely a common form of greeting especially if the other person is a ways away (read: too far to say ‘hi’ without being loud) or both parties are in a space/situation where it’s better to be quiet. This has been especially true in the era of mask-wearing since quiet smiles can no longer be seen (with mouths being hidden behind masks and all). Waiting for a lady to offer a handshake is also fairly common in the context of a man greeting a muslim woman where I am, since some women are not ok with physical contact with men outside their family.

@DipityS Год назад

I was thinking recently about the pretty long running lack of hats...well...sports caps obviously are a thing....but not the more formal hats. It's so odd, for centuries or millennia there are hats then suddenly no hats! The people who experienced the shift from growing up with hats being absolutely a polite must to no hats ever must have had a difficult time not reaching for their hats. I wonder when bowing went out of fashion and why?

@sharmanmurphree-roberts4018 Год назад

John F. Kennedy created the decline in men's hat wearing. While President, he often didn't wear a hat, which had formerly been ubiquitous in men, and so he made the lack of a hat fashionable among men. Darned Kennedy basically began the serious decline of men's fashion.

I was wondering about the extra fancy bowing : if you are in front of a woman and make the pre-bowing footwork, you will not be in front of the woman anymore or at least you will not face her.

Such "EXCELLENT, boiled potatoes!"

No bowing, thank you very much! Although we need rules on non-consensual handshakes.

Thank you so much for this video - as always, you manage to combine education and entertainment - so I take my hat off to you!!! BTW, I'd love to know more about why hats were worn at all and what it meant. For example: Why kept women their hats on whereas men were supposed to have them but take them off as a sign of respect? As one of the hatless generations, I find this very puzzling.

@Hammerli280 Год назад

You wore hats to keep your head warm and dry. A good hat is a very practical bit of gear, especially if broad-brimmed.

I have been seeing an increase in the use of hats in Brazil for Summer, for protection from the sun, since people are more aware of skin cancer risk.

In Romania men never shake women's hands which still catches me out when I proffer a hand when I meet someone! In Arab culture men never shake women's hands either and I think I caught an Egyptian guy out when I just offered my hand without thinking.

I remember back in the twentieth century that you should wait for a lady to offer her hand.

I'd much rather bow than take someone's hand! They can keep their bugs especially in Covid times!

I would absolutely misuse handshakes and use them as a major power move

According to etiquette rules, it's still the lady who should initiate a handshake (unless it's a business situation or you shake hands with someone much older). I wish this rule was followed, though... (ew, I don't like you, fellow, I don't want to become too friendly with you, haha). BTW, in some cultures and religions women don't shake hands of strange men, period. It's good to know if you don't want to offend her or her husband... (I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, just a fact). Aaand the other way around too. An orthodox rabbi won't accept a handshake from a woman (not sure if there's a difference if she's married or not).

I've looked at people bowing as a form of greeting so often that I subconsciously do it myself now. Each time I ask myself, "why did I do that?" but it just happens...

I totally think bowing needs to come back into society. I’m worried that sometimes we are too siloed from other people and that breeds resentment. I’d love to encourage more civility towards each other. You know, recognizing other people as humans with thoughts and feelings too. Maybe it would make us more compassionate.

Under what circumstances, if any, would a gentleman kiss a lady's hand during this time period?

@michaelconrad4445 5 месяцев назад

Guys still occasionally nod to each other, I see it all the time in passing

@Amy-yc8lq Год назад

I wish we stopped handshaking and only did head nods. I personally think it’s awkward touching others, especially since covid

@MadamoftheCatHouse Год назад

I cannot bow right now. I have a cold and I'm coughing so hard I pulled muscles in my back. Even sitting down on the toilet hurts!

@EllieDashwood Год назад

Oh no!!! Feel better soon!!!

@lizkrohn6116 6 месяцев назад

With Covid still around bowing would be good and do away with the handshake! Gloves wouls be good too!

@POLMAZURKA 11 месяцев назад

yes....bows and tipping and hand kissing..................without kiss - contact

It's a shame the foot forward version lost out to the heel-to-heel version. Not just for balance or style, but as a man, I would rather have my legs apart than closely crossed. Because of man reasons.
