unladylike

adjective more unladylike · most unladylike · unlady-like · unladilike

Not ladylike; ill-mannered. Women enjoy being pursued, but men still don’t! They don’t want anything that seems too easy to win. If the woman takes the initiative—at least if she takes it conspicuously—the world will think her aggressive, and unladylike.
