2.Keep your smartphone off the table and set to silent or vibrate. Wait to check calls and texts until you
are finished with the meal and away from the table.

9.Instead of reaching across the table for something, ask for it to be passed to you.

8. Sitting manners : -
the first lady of good manners- talks about the art
of sitting gracefully. Her advice: a woman should
never cross her legs or sit with legs wide open.
The perfect pose is a cross between sitting in an
easy yet dignified pose. When sitting in a formal
meeting or party, men/women should sit with an
erect posture and with poise.
Do: Sit erect in the middle of the chair with legs in
chair with legs in a 90 degree with a gap of 6-7
gap of 6-7 inches between one's feet or slightly
or slightly sideways in the corner of a sofa.
9. First, we've got the non-crossed-legs positions. It's either
the knees close together or spread out. The legs
themselves are 2-10 inches apart – and it's not
comfortable and isn't recommended for how men should
sit.
This position doesn't necessarily “hide” your manhood –
but the thighs still put pressure on it. That's why it's
natural for grown men NOT to keep their knees close
together while seated. If you ever tried it, you'd catch
yourself feeling tight and wanting to spread your legs.
Science points out that sitting with the knees together is
physiologically easier for women. The female pelvis has
an overall greater width than its male counterpart. And
the angle of the female femoral neck isn't as large as the
male one.
