does anyone open car doors for the ladys?

[Rpg]

I always hold the door for a woman.

Car doors, doors entering and exiting buildings, doors in buildings.

On a couple of occasions, this has flustered my younger office staff since these common courtesies are uncommonly experienced by younger women.

I don't wear a hat indoors either.

 

[Ματθιας]

I was taught to always open doors for the ladies, but now I get a mix of "thank yous" and indignant looks. I am obviously too old to have any motives other than courtesy. Why do some women resent this courtesy?

Modern feminism. Old school chivalry and and old school gender roles basically, simply being a man is highly toxic to them.

 

[Rustyt1953]

I open the car door for Ruthie and will open building doors for anyone but I'm not about to walk up to a stranger's car and grab their door handle.

 

[MORSNO]

Yes, I open car doors, house doors, business doors, camper door, and I even buy flowers "just because".

 

[Ματθιας]

If they look convincingly like a woman, to me, then yes. Even the butch ones! Some appreciate the gesture, some don't.

If they show the slightest negative reaction gets a loud "You're welcome, Ma'am!" and a goofy smile from me.

 

[Kanewpadle]

Yes I do.

I think the lady in the picture would tell to stick step stool somewhere.

 

[meaneyedcatz]

Always do for my wife, mother and daughters. It is proper and they have earned that respect.

I do also for customers unless they are acting like entitled, arrogant, self centered, lying inbred morons.

 

[two-bit cowboy]

Yes, always.

 

[Ole Joe Clark]

I do most of the time for my wife, but sometimes not. Like tonight after church, I had her Bible and mine so I asked her if she was ok with the door. She said yes. I open the door for ladies and older gentlemen if they show sign of unsteady movement. Most of them appreciate it.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

Always do, and told my Son to do the same. He asked why, here's what I told him.

It's a security issue. Consider any scenario, dating or married, out for a movie, dinner, grocery store etc. Coming and going, you maintain SA, you get her into the car first, shut her door, scan as you round the car, get in the car, shut the door, lock it, start the car & leave.

Son asks whats the big deal if I get in first, even if she's outside the car?

Exactly. There you are seated in the car, and bad guy pops up & does whatever, grabs her purse, grabs her, throws her in a vehicle that rolls up, takes off, etc. Again there you are, sitting in the car, unable to act.

Explain that one to Mr. and Mrs. Jones. "um, a, I'm sorry Mr. & Mrs. Jones, I took your daughter out, and I didn't take care of her". You can fill in the blank as to what could happen, purse stolen, arm broke, or kidnapped & gang raped for 40 days and then killed.

All because you, numbnutz, bought into the BS feminist equality movement.

At the end of the day, you are still on the hook for her safety and security.

 

[Rudi]

Yep, every time.

 

[Westie1]

I think out here a lot of times it's is considered to be a form of sexual harassment.

 

[ColbyBruce]

Yes I do. It is proper and respectful.

 

[raljr1]

Almost always.

[Donn]

Always do, along with uncovering indoors. Another courtesy that seems to have been forgotten.

 

[PeterJ]

Yep, and I'll tell you something else I do that goes WAY back,,, I always walk on the curb side of a street to shield the lady from splashes from the puddles when the horses go by.

 

[Farmer17]

If its hot or cold my wife wants me to jump in first and get the truck started and the HVAC system turned on. Going into stores or restaurants I always hold the door open for ladies and sometimes men, and a lot of guys will hold the door open for me too. It's pretty common around here.

 

[double-dipper]

Yes, but have been told by some feminist's wearing pant suits " I can open the door myself"!

 

[Gulfecho]

The last time I opened a car door for a lady, I stepped on her dress and tore it.

 

[S&WOkie]

I was taught to always open doors for the ladies, but now I get a mix of "thank yous" and indignant looks. I am obviously too old to have any motives other than courtesy. Why do some women resent this courtesy?

So called "Feminism" has really messed people up.

I've had women of the younger generation get nearly angry with me for holding a door open to let them walk through first.

I've never had a guy act that way when holding a door open for them.
