at least on French official forms. Seriously? so, whether or not a woman PREFERS to refered to as miss (madmoiselle) is irrelevant on official forms.

I love using "Miss." It lets men know I'm available, so they're more likely to ask me out! And they don't have the awkward question to ask me, or my friends!!!!! Gotta luv it! Plus, it sounds more feminine than the other term, and it's prettier to the eye. The other one looks so butch-dyke!

Lebanese "French" = ( de moiselle ) still used in arabic Lebanese."French".. you may find the "Eygptian" English is funny: ( za man - all za people.. ) always gets me [:D]

can you do a hooked on phonics version for me, Ash? I always heard it in my head as Ma (my de moiselle) young lady/miss\ of course, I failed French classes after 3 yrs in highschool.. LOL

But french women who do not use this site and are probably older than you call that "a man checkin to see if you are Madame or MMe.." slimey.... Mon Dieu! We are only looking for un petite peu!!!!

ashjor911 -> RE: Madmoiselle, you no longer exist (2/24/2012 9:41:49 AM)
i think ( de moiselle ) called for unmarried young women, & dont have anything to do with the age thing, greedy, i may leave you a voice message today as i want to go downtown, later this night.

GreedyTop -> RE: Madmoiselle, you no longer exist (2/24/2012 9:53:15 AM)
that was my understanding as well, Ash. Or, in more recent times, women who remain single, regardless of their age. Kinda like Ms. LOL Call, I will answer :)

I liked mademoiselle -- it always made me think of those old novels with chicks wearing pretty gowns and throwing themselves onto fainting couches and worrying over some dude who they reeeeally wish would propose. =p

"madmoiselle" puts me in mind of Cosette and Eponine.

ashjor911 -> RE: Madmoiselle, you no longer exist (2/24/2012 10:24:04 AM)
speaking in French Champagne and caviar .. + foot rub de moiselle ??

You will have to provide your own french accents outrageous for this.... A man strolls the Champs Elysee in Paris and accosts a beautiful woman... Monsieur: Will you go to bed with me, Mademoiselle? Mademoiselle: (aghast, taken aback) What do you take me for, Monsieur? Monsieur: But Mademoiselle, I will give you 50,000 francs for the honor of this interlude. Mademoiselle: Oh, but Monsieur; I can see I have misjudged you, you are certainly a man of genteel nature and of great refinement...(coquettishly) What will you do when we share our bed of love? Monsieur: I will lay you ever so gently in the finest linens in Paris, I will sprinkle you with fresh rose petals, I will tie you in the softest and silkiest flaxen ropes available—All the while; softly whispering passionate and wonderful words of lustiness in your pretty little ear. Mademoiselle: (fanning herself, chest heaving) And then what will you do with me, Monsieur? Monsieur: I will then bring forth my riding crop and beat you mercilessly as you scream in horrific pain....... Mademoiselle: (horrified) Mon Dieu! And how long will you beat me, Monsieur? Monsieur: Until I am once again in possession of my 50,000 francs; you ignorant whore...

GreedyTop -> RE: Madmoiselle, you no longer exist (2/24/2012 10:29:29 AM)
LMAO RON!! Ash, forget the foot rub, and we're golden ;)

I love the word mademoiselle but the reasoning for this is something I agree with. The french government decided it wasn't their business if women were or weren't married; especially since there isn't a corresponding title for men.

GreedyTop -> RE: Madmoiselle, you no longer exist (2/24/2012 11:31:22 AM)
ok, I GET that. But what of the women that PREFER to be called mademoiselle? Here, we get miss/ms/mrs. so why can't teh French acknowledge that not every woman will want to be referred to as madame?

angelikaJ -> RE: Madmoiselle, you no longer exist (2/24/2012 11:44:53 AM)
Probably because the people who advocated for this did not see that as an option: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17123531

That has been the issue really, why it is so long in coming, they dont have a Mz.

lady4dad -> RE: Madmoiselle, you no longer exist (2/24/2012 11:47:21 AM)
the French took it off official forms because most (unmarried) women DID NOT prefer to be called mademoiselle ... so did German authorities with "Fräulein" some years ago for the same reason ... maybe you could accept it as a tiny lesson just how different different cultures may be

ashjor911 -> RE: Madmoiselle, you no longer exist (2/24/2012 11:59:14 AM)
Welcome To CM, Lady4Dad, i really did not thougt i would see you in the forums.

littlewonder -> RE: Madmoiselle, you no longer exist (2/24/2012 12:00:11 PM)
I personally find it annoying when you are supposed to check Miss/Ms/or Mrs on American forms. I usually won't check any unless I'm forced to. I feel it's no one's business but my own.
