Yes. Because, despite what people today say, women are to be treated with respect since they are made to be loved. Ask a woman what she wants from a man, and she will say to be cherished. Ta-da.

Only if she's much, much older or pregnant or infirmed. The problem is that if you are giving up the seat to a young able-bodied woman she would most likely see that as a clumsy kind of come-on (like buying a drink in a bar), or she may not like all the attention your offer would put on her from the other riders of the crowded bus, it may be embarassing with all those people watching her and waiting to see if she will take the seat. But there is the remote chance that she is old-fashioned and will have a very positive response.
If you choose not to give up your seat, you don't really risk embarassing her or making her feel uncomfortable, so I think that's the more respectful thing to do.
PS: You might want to note that women don't generally like to be called "females". Now a days only coronors and guys who are generally ignorant about women use that word.

Yes especially if you are a boy young enough in travelling in a croweded public transport you give your seat to female standing near you.You must be a gentleman and give priority your seat to :
1)an old woman
2)a young woman with a baby
3) a handicapped man or woman
4)a young woman without a baby
5) an old man who can not afford standing
It is an ethical conduct in our society and also an instruction of our God to make others are happy and safe.It is a good habit and you will be rewarded as a good deed. helping other in a right situation and condition.

It would be nice, yes. Why? Because it's chivalrous. I've been on the train many times where the car was full of men sitting down and many women were standing. None of these men appeared to be disabled as far as I could tell, none of them were working on a laptop, and not one of them offered their seat to any of the standing women. One day a few weeks ago, I was standing by the door of the train, and rode all the way from downtown to about two or three stops from my station. The guy in the seat next to the door asked me, "Would you like to sit down?" I looked at him very pointedly and said, "Actually, no. I've been standing for the last 30 minutes, so I don't think another 5 minutes until I get to my stop will hurt me." He turned about three shades of red and looked away. Good! The only men I've ever seen offer their seats to women are older men...the ones who are old school and know how to be polite and treat a lady. It's sad that so many (but not all) younger men these days don't know how to open a car door, pull out a chair, hold the elevator door, etc. for a lady. I think feminists are partly responsible for this, but not totally. In some cases, it's just bad (or no) training at home.

Hey,
leaving the place for a lady depends mainly on the person. But personally i feel that when ladies want equality and feel they are equally strong. And more over do they give place to a guy if he i stand near them.
when they feel they are equal to men they don't need to expect getting place from the guys.
and most of the time the guys give place for showing off how caring they are..
so don't judge the guys from that..
take care guys

Yes if she is carrying children, pregnant, or elderly.
If she is still young and looks like strong, may be you can give your seat only if the journey is too far, wasting more than 1 hour to reach the destination.
You can imagine how her legs after standing for long time?

I wouldn't expect a guy to give me his seat, I don't know what kind of day he's had. Now if I was 8 months pregnant, that would be a different story!! But it would be nice to offer, if the girl looks tired or upset. But otherwise...it's OK not to, in my opinion.

being a gentleman you should give ur seat to a female. but nowadays equality between both sexes are practiced so both are treated equal. if that female needs to have a seat then why not? remember that being gentleman is also a virtue.

Because that is what a real gentleman does. Especially if the woman is pregnant, holding a child, or an elderly person. It's just a nice thing to do. I do it and I'm a woman.

No; you should not. Women these days love to talk about"Equality" and how they dont need a men and how independent they are. Having said that, only when women start giving up their seats, opening the door for us, taking our coats etc, should we men start doing the same for them. One other thing, when you do that, you're taken for a fool not a gentlemen. So dont do it. I dont do it and I will never do it except for my mom.

Definitely if she is pregnant or elderly, and probably so even if she just looks a little tired. And if she is attractive, wouldn't you rather be standing above her like a big strong guy, rather than sitting there like a wimp? It never hurts to offer.
