DELICADEZA: A Beautiful Word, A Beautiful Thing
PLEASE COMMENT

Greetings! I recently came across this word in a discussion group. Members were attempting to articulate its meaning. FFF member, ladytop, described DELICADEZA as a spanish word; meaning: Daintiness.

I was intrigued. I came to understand that this is a character trait that is greatly valued in Philipine society. It would appear to be a societal norm holding differences to what in America we might call, being a Gentleman, or being Ladylike, or a Lady.

Delicadeza, would seem to hold a very influentual position within Philipine culture. I am understanding that it has a very deep and PROFOUND meaning to Filipinos.

I would like to gain a better understanding of this character trait of Philipine culture. How would I come to recognize and appreciate this quality in the life of, relationship with, and marriage to a Pinay Lady? I am most interested in hearing more on the following subjects:

VALUES: Honor, Respect, Integrity, Community, Love, Communication, Family, Friendship, Faith, Work Ethics, Cleanliness, Self-Discipline, Morality, Sexuality, Feminity, Masculinity, Patriotism, Intimacy, Privacy, Tradition, Home, SIMPLICITY, Materialism, Individuality, Emotional expression, Stewardship, etc.

DAILY LIFE: Outlook on Life, Family Interaction, Family and Personal Friendships, Dealing with Elders, Dealing with , Dealing with In-Laws, Community Service and Duty, Religion and Practice, Interpersonal Communication, Work, Education, Homemaking, Fashion and Dress, World View, Arguments, Conflict Resolution, Sexual intimacy, Dealings between Genders, Dealings with same Genders, Social consequence, Social standing, Entertaining (host/guest), Demonstrations of Delicadeza towards a husband (in/outside home), Finances and Shopping, How does concept hold to Men, Emotinal health, Being centered, etc.

I would most welcome comments on these various subjects listed above under "VALUES" and "DAILY LIFE." I have tried to brain storm to provide ideas to inspire and prompt you the reader. Would you be specific in what you're addressing
I am trying to prompt a discussion here. Thanks.

 Correct Moonchaser, we pinay believe in Delicadeza things, we afraid of putting ourself in a shame and we always want to put all things in order

You get some very good explanation of our moderator ladytop, she is one of the best lady/friend i ever meet, very honest, very kind, loyal, sweet and all out support in times of need.

Greetings babyface,
Thank you for commenting.
This fear of putting oneself to shame and always wanting to put things into order. This sounds like two things: having shame and completeness.
This would tell me that:
(1) Pinay Ladies (in general) hold themselves with dignity and pride. Does this relate to the oriental concept of "saving Face?"
(2) It also would indicate a desire to be centered or in "order" as you day. Wanting to be well in all things and people in their world.
Sounds like a woman who achieves this, can sleep well at night.
Tell me more?
Thanks and God Bless Babyface! Dave

Greetings Bud !!

Thank you again for commenting and your very kind words !

You are absolutely correct in your appraisal of the external
attributes of these fair maidens. The great thing will be to
find my one and only with the heart to match. I may have already
seen her picture, written her a note, or heard from her, and - I do not have that knowledge yet.

I like how you refer to the Filipine "people"
My internet/telephone is through a company called Verizon. On occassion I have had to talk to technical support at the call centers down in the Philipines. Whether, man or woman, each and
everyone of them have demonstrated the utmost courtesy and respect.
Absolutely, outstanding service, and effort on my behalf: "Just another Techno-stupid Cano! You'd think those Canos would learn how to turn on their mouse once in awhile !?!"

I'm kind of liking this Delicadeza. At times it sounds to universal, too good to be true. From what I'm hearing I've discovered a land of "Angels."

Until, I have another name to go by you; God Bless Bud ! Dave
