Should a man still open a door for a woman?

It's a lovely idea Rainee..but I'm afraid manners are well on their way out..please and thank you are rarely heard..people sneeze in your face..and when I have to take a bus to work..I am horrified to see schoolchildren occupying a seat whilst some poor old man or lady is hanging from the straps on crutches..

My mother would have batted me round the head for my inconsideration..

Helas..these times have gone..
 

Depends................on the circumstances. Lets face it some woman are 250 lbs and have bolts through their ears and more tattoos than pop eye........ not sure they would thank me anyway!
 
I ALWAYS thank a gentleman that is being courtious.. I got on an elevator a while back.. a mom and her young son got on with me. The mom admonished the boy as he pressed the button for their floor.. "A gentleman would have asked the lady what floor she wanted and pressed the button for her".. I thought that was so wonderful.. Mom teaching her son how to be a gentleman.. You don't see that much these days.

You remind me of an extremely embarrassing occasion when a young woman got on the bus...she was large, but with a huge belly..so I assumed she was pregnant..I got up from my seat to let her sit down..which she did with a sweet smile..she looked up at me and I felt obliged to say something..

''When's it due?'' I asked..

''When's what due?'' she replied..:eek::eek::eek:

I always open doors for the ladies.

I like the custom.

.
 
Hubby opening the doors for me was one of the first things that made me fall in love with him-I was only 15 but it really impressed me. We are now married nearly 47 years and he still opens all doors and car doors for me. He also grabs the doors at stores and malls and holds them until the people,men or women,walk through. Usually,the next man in line will take it. Not always though.
 
He sounds a sweetie Mrs Robinson..but I too have been left holding a door open..with people rushing through..at what point do you let it go in someone's face?
 
My husband opened a car door for me when we first met when I was 15, and we were giving him a lift back to his hotel. I can't remember him opening a door for me since then!:D
 
I've always opened the door for a woman....or anybody else standing behind me.

I think there was only ONE woman (Not a lady) who breezed right past me without a nod, much less a "Thank You".
BITCH !

Yes..I've been mistaken for the ''door lady' too!
 
I do because it is second nature to do it. I go in first and thank a lady if she opens a door for me.
 
Ill hold the door open for anybody as long as they say "thanks" and Ill accept a puzzled look on a 5 years old face for opening the door for her.

Yes. And open the car door and escort me inside. And bring me flowers. And bring his guitar and sing me love songs. :D
