Is it formally acceptable to introduce oneself as Mrs or Miss something when requested?

I have heard some women introducing themselves saying I'm "Mrs this or Miss that" in a formal work place. Is it correct or not to put such titles when introducing oneself?

Any married woman who introduces herself just as A or B is either ignorant or not satisfied with her husband and has her eye for the next available.

In my opinion, it is right to introduce yourself with either miss or mrs. It gives the other person the sense of interraction at the begining. Especially guys who are naughty will be able to caution their steps if the person in catact is a MRS. But for a miss you can flow anyhow with her.

MISS has to do with single ladies, while Mrs married women.

Ms. as portmanteau of Mrs. and Miss is better - it's proper, but it's not mandatory.

I think sometimes in official settings, women introduce themselves as 'Ms'(which sounds like 'Miss') instead of 'Mrs'. 'Ms' can be for either a 'Miss' or a 'Mrs'.
growing up, I learnt that 'Ms' is for women who are either divorced or unmarried at an advanced age.

To be sincere, there is no difference in pronunciation between Ms and Miss

its your choice what you introduce your self by, but sometimes you have just one chance at presenting and introducing yourself


..
And it's an impression that you just might not have a chance to correct again.
Do it once, Do it right!
Besides it takes nothing away from you but rather add some little things.

It depends on what's obtainable at your workplace. Personally, i think adding miss or mrs isn't necessary especially if you are wearing a wedding ring for the married ladies.
It is necessary, before one 20 year old intern, decides to call a 45 year old female manager by her first name, simply because the older lady introduced herself without a prefix.

you should be respectful with anyone you meet, irrespective of their marital status.

Just because a person is unmarried, does not mean you can flow anyhow with her, in fact, some people flow easier with married women than single ones. And a naughty guy doesn't care about the marital status of a woman he wants to flirt with

Is not a bad idea, some may not raise eyebrows but others will, introducing oneself as Mrs or Miss will give them a brief description about you, before going into details.

For chrissake, what is wrong in a woman introducing herself as Miss or Mrs

Next thing, they will say married women should not wear wedding rings so that committing adultery/fornication with them in the work place will be a normal no holds barred thing.

Nonsense!

So you sef don see am? shocked When I first saw the question, I wondered why anyone should bring up such a mundane, inane and inconsequential question on a public site. This is a question that should have been trashed out at secondary school level.

Is it everybody that wears a wedding ring? The 45 year old woman may be divorced, but could still be bearing her ex-husband's name, for the sake of her kids. Or she might even be a widow....

Which one are you?

If you are single you dey "Miss" legal rights to courtesy and dedicated docking and chance to raise raise legal children when you still can.

If you are married you have many "Misses = Mrs"
You are missing having multiple docking from different guys with our answering to anybody.

You are missing freedom.

You are missing having quickies with random guy at the slightest secluded corner.
You are missing asebi and attending many functions at freewill.
Your missing not being policed by a single individual. Your husband.

I just hope u find sense at last

Calm down sir. Her question could be rephrased as such: do you add Mr to your name when you introduce yourself? As in, do you say I am Mr John or do you just say I am John and allow the other person to add the Mr by himself?

Ms does not depend on marital status and can be used for all women.

Ms is pronounced (miz).

Nope! Include the correct prefix in the introduction. It helps to keep things formal, at the initial stage.

There are too many mannerless kids in the workplace these days, who lack proper etiquette.

Once a lady introduces herself using just her name, without any prefix, they latch on to that, and start calling the lady by her first name.

If she now protests at the familiarity, people will think she is making a mountain out of a molehill.

Let the person who is introducing herself, be the one to say you can call her by her first name.
