I just had a conversation earlier about some females allowing males to think certain things are "ok" from OUR actions by THEIR actions. I just read something that pretty much is what I am referring to: MALE vs. MAN

On a date who opens the door for who? Should a "LADY" open the door for a "MAN"????
In my opinion I feel that a man would not allow this. (that's something a male does) That is nothing to brag about, be impressed by, or be ok with. I was taught that there is only room for 1 darling in a relationship, date, etc. Picking up a tab at times if you are dating someone or in a relationship is quite naturally going to to take place (and only fair, even tough some woman don't believe in that lol) but CHIVALRY ISN'T DEAD therefore we should acknowledge it and practice it in our daily doings. There is nothing wrong with a woman doing certain things for a man but there are unspoken rules and opening a door for a woman is one of them. Lover, brother, stranger, nephew, cousin, or neighbor....you should open the door for a lady. A man is put forth to protect therefore he shouldn't be walking through a door before a woman, walking on the inside of the street, nor getting in a car first. Something pops off and where is he???? Already inside the building or sitting in the car with the door closed. smh smh Ladies please allow a MAN to be a MAN....please allow him to show you the respect that is due. (Which means we need to play our role as well and that is being a LADY/WOMAN) Yes it's 2012 but everything from years ago is NOT out of style or out of the window.

Too damned much fuss about little things. I was raised by my mother to be a traditional gentleman, and I enjoy being one. I open doors for my lady, I walk on the outside when we are on the sidewalk. When we are in a restaurant and the waitress asks me what I want, I point to my date and indicate that she ask her first. It is tradition and I think it should be preserved.

I love it when women try to tell other women what their role is.

Here's an idea...worry about your role and we will worry about what it is for us to be a lady.

Afterall, we aren't here to prove ourselves to anyone one how much of a lady we are. If he likes your style then to who else should it matter???

Yeah, that's what I thought.

It shouldn't be that much of a big deal to be a gentleman or a lady. Those who were raised decently do it without thinking about it or bragging about it, it should come naturally, and it's nothing to be impressed by.

It's 2012 and there are PLENTY of women that are the bread winners.....which is why I mentioned EVERYTHING has not gone out of style but because today is a new era there are some things that have changed. Showing a lady a good time when you go on a date isn't one of those things. That's the problem, some people are throwing the wrong things out the window and then later on want to demand respect when it's a little too late.

Chivalry isnt dead... its just that 9 outa 10 women arent worth the effort to be chilvarous for... the average "independent" woman has to wear the pants and will tell a guy he aint $%*! faster than she can blink and has an attitude that says "i can replace you at the drop of a dime, your really just here my amusement till i get tired of you"..or "your not a baller so feel privileged im even talking to you" that doesnt make us want to do nice things for yall...makes us guys be like..well she has 2 perfectly good hands...get ya own doors and stuff and no im not paying...if you want to be treated like a queen, act like one and not just to your man...act like one to everyone... you cant just treat your dude good but treat all his friends and fam and everyone else around you like crap lol...thats not deserving of, "going the extra mile" so to speak

i open doors but i just open doors for everyone b/c its polite and the right thing to do not b/c im trying to be a "gentleman". pick up a tab...ladies...? not in this day and age LMAO. 98% you will have to gas up your car drive across town pick them up open pay for dinner the movie drinks etc etc the drive um back home...man spends 150-200 on date lady keeps all her money got free entertainment, free food, free drinks, chauffeured around and possibly sex(we are all adults here..)that hasent changed. Seems like us guys are still getting a raw bad deal. I dont really see ladies out there approaching guys and treating(birthdays and holidays dont count)and if the do they want to wear the pants....if you they type of woman that has to wear the pants then its your job as the person in that position to open the door...thats all im saying

This is a nice post and all but it doesn't end with the door...for the woman. No no no, he NEEDS to do, and be, muuuch more.

Chivalry goes both ways ladies. Time to start nutting up...or maybe the divorce rate getting even higher is "cool"?

I can't always get the door for a woman as I have debilitating issues but prior to this I always did. I got the door for anyone I was with unless I was carrying something burdensome. Then sometimes they, whomever, get the door for me.

Chivalry is a mechanism society created to create roles for men and women. If a woman wants to open a door for a man, there's nothing wrong with that. If a man wants to open a door for a woman there's nothing wrong with that. How about gay couples. Who's the man, who's the woman? Stop thinking about what a "man" "woman" is supposed to do. Do something because you're thinking about your loved one.

I respect where you are coming from even though I don't agree with the 9 out of 10 percentile lol and a few other things BUT I am glad that you made mention of a female acting a certain way because when I mentioned women playing their role someone proved my point of class and showed their a** totally trying to misconstrue my comment. A female can't expect a man to treat her like a LADY when she's coming across like a hoodrat. However, even though a female may make you feel like they aren't deserving of a kind act, you should NEVER stop being who you are. So if you are indeed a gentleman don't let her personality take you out of character. We are all human and I feel what you're saying. It just irks me when a guy thinks that nonsense is going to fly with EVERY woman he comes across all because he got away with it at some point with other women.

Doesn't really matter. Yet I'm more into doing more male directed acts in a relationship. It feels good to have a woman step up and contribute to the balance of a successful involvement.

Everyone remain calm. Deep breaths.



Does anybody else find it absolutely ridiculous how much people overthink chivalry? If you think about chivalry to the point of excess, it's forced and the meaning behind it is therefore lost.

Chivalry has nothing to do with it...manners has everything to do with it..I love courtesy, and practice it often.

The whole opening doors issue is a non-issue for me...

I love a man who shows manners, but if he opens the door for me yet speaks to me in a rough manner, or doesn't exhibit other kind and gentle manners, the car door being opened from me makes very little difference...

In 2012 do we really need gender roles? Can't both people watch the kids, do the laundry, clean the house, and bring home the bacon?

Actually this topic didn't start "because" of your post, your test, or you. I believe I told you that when you sent me a message asking me about my status. I also told you that I didn't need you sending me messages of clarification, why do you feel the need to "state your claim". You doing a lot of explaining......please.

There are certain things that I expect a guy to do. If I'm on a date, I do expect the door to be held open. If I'm living with someone, I expect him to take out the trash. Those are my only two, besides not texting on a date. You can share the other chores.

You women want to be treated like equals, so accept EVERYTHING that comes with it. You can wear pants like men. You can vote like men. You can be the heads of companies and run for office like men. Now you can open your own doors like men and pay for your own food like men. EQUALITY FOR EVERYBODY!!!!

I respect where you are coming from even though I don't agree with the 9 out of 10 percentile lol and a few other things BUT I am glad that you made mention of a female acting a certain way because when I mentioned women playing their role someone proved my point of class and showed their a** totally trying to misconstrue my comment. A female can't expect a man to treat her like a LADY when she's coming across like a hoodrat. However, even though a female may make you feel like they aren't deserving of a kind act, you should NEVER stop being who you are. So if you are indeed a gentleman don't let her personality take you out of character. We are all human and I feel what you're saying. It just irks me when a guy thinks that nonsense is going to fly with EVERY woman he comes across all because he got away with it at some point with other women.


i can dig it.. i dont consider myself a gentleman..i just think i have good morals and standards lol. i used to do the extra'd out chilvary thing when i was younger and naive and all it ever got me was further back in the line at the movies...you cant hold the door and then just let it slam in the peoples face behind you thats just plain rude so girrlll walk first grab the door im behind you so we good and we just keep it moving on pace im polite and use proper etiquette but if your not deserving than your just not...sorry...respect is earned not given out freely and game recognize game, real sees real so if your "deserving" itll happen naturally from the people around you, you wont have to ask or wonder about it..

Im a gentleman. ill open doors and all that good stuff for a woman. the only time i may not be too gentlemanly, is if by chances shots are fired. then ill immediately use a woman as a screen to protect me.

I don't have a problem acting like a gentleman as long as the woman acts like a lady.

Many years ago I heard the Historical reason why a man would walk on the outside of the street.
It goes back to when people used to throw their garbage out the windows into the street.
The person on the outside was most likely to get the brunt of the mess.
Must have been tall buildings or a tall story.

It could be considered more dangerous these nights to walk on the inside closer to where criminals might be hiding.
You can easily see what's coming from the streets.

As we discussed in other similiar threads about this--COURTESY never goes out of style. As well as saying "thank you" and other nice little phrases. You may not get everyone to express a bit of courtesy--but we see a lot of it in THIS city.
