Guys...Do You Open the Door for a Girl?

I open the door for anyone, regardless of gender. It's a courtesy thing rather than a chivalry thing.

I notice that even young children (boys and girls) hurry to hold open doors at our little post office. Some parents are setting good examples.

Yes. I think it’s just good manners. Of course some ladies object on equality or feminist grounds.

Equally, I’m glad to say that young ladies quite often offer me their seat on the London Underground - more often, I think, than young men do. I think that’s good manners too, and I am grateful. Fortunately, however, I am still quite able-bodied, so I always refuse politely!

I still open the door for others , not just for women .

yes. i even offer my seat on public transport or places.. 😇

To me, too. Some think it's meaningless, but I don't think courtesy is ever meaningless.

A man opening a door for me tells me he is aware of my existence, that he cares about my comfort, that he wants to make sure I'm safe in the car. It may not mean any of that, but that's how I take it. And sooner or later I'll return the favor somehow.

You and your family do the right thing. Thank you for being courteous and making the world kinder through you actions.

While I don’t mind opening up my own door, I appreciate it when a guy thinks enough of me to do so. My sister and I were raised to hold a door for others. It feels nice to do something nice for others.

I was raised to be a gentleman. Open doors, carry bags etc for women. I raised my son the same way. My daughter she will do the same for women that are older or anyone that obviously needs assistance. I think it is slowly being lost.

If being a gentleman is old fashioned then mark me down as old fashioned.

Yes, I hold the door for both sexes. I dated a younger woman for awhile and when I opened the car door for her she didn't expect it. I guess it's my age group.

my thoughts: when we arrive at the door the same time, I kind of expect it to be opened for me
if I'm there before you, I'll open it myself TY

She should stop wasting her time with him. If he hasn't mastered common courtesies, it makes you wonder what else is lacking.

I'm a strong independent woman that is still hoping that chivalry isn't dead yet. Lmao whuuut 😂🤣🤣

I open the door and hold it for anyone right behind me, guys and girls. Its just being polite.

Yeah I do. I even let people with less shopping then I to go in front at the check out.

It's not a lost thing... there are many of us who still do this... even car doors.
Frankly, I think your daughter's boyfriend has failed a test... and she should drop him. It may seem a small thing now, but it's an indicator and no good can come of it.

I do it all the time

I think its awkward when people run around the car to open the door for me. Like.. i can do it myself 😂

Hold the door open for people if it's not horribly inconvenient or if they need help, but don't make everything more difficult than it needs to be imo

With many kids today it is lost. I have found that families that do this, their kids will do it. I myself am like your husband and you, all though I don't always open my wife's car door but all other doors and suck I will always hold up for her and anyone else that is just coming in or going out. At the doctor's office I held the elevator for my wife and another lady, letting them on and off first, she was about your age and when she got off the elevator, she told my wife she had a keeper because of my simple normal gesture. Life is to short not to show all others the simple kind things in life that most take for granted.

I don't think anyone ever opened the car door for me. I think I would feel infantilised if they did. But then I'm a strong independent type who puts up her own shelves, not the type who needs a daddy to look after her!

I always open a door for a lady if she if following me through and let her go first.
But I would not open a car door as I am entering through a different door.

They should! I don’t think it is completely gone but we don’t see it too much anymore. I hold the door for anyone...stores, elevators and etc...

It is nice but times are changing and it's not that bad for a young man not to do it in this day and age

I didn't think about this at first, but if this happened on the third date, that must mean he was more courteous on the 1st and 2nd, and THAT means he's all hat and no cattle. He knows what to do to temporarily impress but too lazy and thoughtless to continue. It would be a better sign if he just didn't know.

I also still do the things you've mentioned and see no reason to stop doing so. Thank you for sharing!

I have held doors open for women who stand with their hands folded until I let the door close.

Yeah, the son in law has actually told me that I spoil my wife to much and it makes him look bad

I hope chivalry never ends. I like having the door opened for me and being treated like a woman. 😊

Between extreme feminists screaming that even looking at a girl is sexual harassment, kindergarten classes teaching cis-gendered boys that they were born rapists, and college toxic masculinity classes telling college freshman that asking a girl for her number is virtually rape, just be thankful any kid has the courage to even talk to your daughter.

Only if she is a white, american christian.

Yes I do..I feel every man should.

I always believe attention to the little things is important. Open the door, walk on the side of trafic, pull the chair out at the table, stand when she gets up at the table, etc.. all are noticed, show admiration and respect.

The other week I had collected 5 carts by the time I got to the cart corral. I think ppl thought I may have worked there...

Only pollute for a man to open the door.

It is the small things in this looked world, that really counts..

I always do my g/f

I wrote a story bout this at Ep - there was a group.

He's already on his way out - whether either of em knows it or not. Her parents raised her better.

It is the right thing to do. If he could open the door for her for three dates, he could do it the rest of the time. He simply doesn't care to. :(

my parents taught me and my 2 brothers to open doors for girls and help people

Yes, I do it frequently.

i open the door for the needy.. blind, crippled, those who have other mobility issues, those who are working class who are pedestrians who are carrying loads... children who aren't strong enough to open the door themselves... and then some, those who really need a helping hand.

that's who.

everyone else can suck it!

gentlemen do, assholes dont

All of the above - taught my kids the same
😎👍🏽

It's an "old-school" thing about being a "gentleman"...
Suggest to your daughter to find a BF with grey hair...

She needs to drop him like a rock. If that's who he is... forget it... he will be doubly selfish on things that really matter... and what's more, he'll be oblivious to it.

How old is she?

Yes

If i get to slap her ass 😳
