cant open car door for women in todays world!

meh.

 

I'll offer to open a door when she gets in, helping her out is kinda in the whipped zone.

 

I used to see a girl off and on about 8 years ago. The first time we went out she got upset that I opened the door for her. She said she could do it herself and when someone did it for her it made her feel like I thought she was helpless and dependent.

 

I'd tell her to stop watching Rosie O'Donnell.

Whenever I am walking to the car with my girl, I always open her door for her when it's convenient. But when we get some where, to tell her to wait while I run around the car would be dumb. Just use common sense and be a gentleman.

 

I'm not a expert on women, hopefully some female members can give some insight but....I noticed changes

1. Instead of asking a woman where's she's goin when she goes out, say take care and give me a buzz if u need anything
2. Feel free to look at other women, as long as you can gave the feeling of comfort and security being around her
3. Goin out to eat for the first time? Let her pay her share.

There's others, and I may be wrong....but women are more independent these days. Giving them a sense of "control" isn't going to make it work these days, well in terms of true love anyway. But feel free to put her in check if she acts out of line.

 

wait for it...........................................

 

just crack babies...

by the way, LOL at that whole post, what a load of ****.

 

Ha, he starts off with men and ends up with women issues. Clearly he was thinking about a woman when writing that.

it all just............disappeared

 

I didn't do it.

 

I only open car doors for women if they are wearing really small skirts!

 

Opening for them to get out is a bit much imo. Have I done it? Of course, but it's really a bit over-doing it.

I always open doors for women. And occasionally I get that evil eye that they can get it themselves. But when you're dating someone I don't see a need to do it every single time you drive somewhere.

Opening doors to buildings...ALWAYS. Opening car doors....only at the beginning of the relationship and on special occasions. Otherwise, IMO, it loses any and all that is "special" about doing that.

 

I once offerred to carry a box for a petite co-worker, and she started talking about benevolent sexism and other nonsense. I told she didn't have to worry about me helping her again...

 

I usually open it for my wife to get in the car, but not out....I just rather her get in the vehicle safely I guess, dunno....

 

Same here, I've always felt that it is unnecessary to open the door for them to get out. When I see other guys open the door, it just looks awkward while the girl just sits there waiting for the guy to get out and walk around to open her door.

 

small, or short ?

or both ??

 

my latest date didn't expect it and I didn't offer at most I'll open the door from inside the car but yeah usually they don't care and neither do I just as long as they get in

 

I have had this happen on numerous occasions here at the office. Our receptionist is a little old lady and she always asks me to pick things up for her or move things, but if I try to “help” any of the other ladies around the office they get all bend out of shape, so I don’t even bother anymore.

I actually got a chuckle out of one a couple of weeks ago. One of the more independent ladies here was trying to get into the elevator with a whole bunch of crap in her hands; I held my arm out to stop the elevator door and asked if she got it all. She quickly fired back with if she needs my help she would ask for it. So I moved my hand. The door closed. And down I went.

As for the open door thing, to a building always, to the car when getting in usually, when getting out of the car though, nope. I honestly don’t think any of the girls that have been in my passenger seat have ever waited long enough for me to get around before getting out on there own. My grandma is another story. I always make an effort to help her out of the car, she old and needs all the help she can get, but even granny has already opened the door by the time I get around.
