Double standards for girls to say that they want to be treated like queens ... while claiming to be strong and independant and equal (if not better) to men...?
Or does that queen stuff mean that you just want us to sing anthems about you ..?
I always open doors and stuff ... and females love it
but is that real equality ... or should the one who gets to the door first ...open it.
Do you want it both ways ... or do you think that as you baked the cake and are entitled to eat it ..?

Girls want all the old advantages together with all the new rights and some idiot guys try to give them both.

I think every woman wants to be treated with respect. in my case.. if i get to the door first.. i will open it for my mate.. but my mate always opens the car door for me. I will show my mate all the respect no matter what.
And treated like a queen... i think its all up to the individual. i dont expect more than my mate can give me. I think anyone should be able to respect each other not take for granted. I dont ask to be treated like a queen but respect and kindness is something to expect. I guess it all goes back to the saying.. treat others the way you want to be treated.
I am sure that what you are doing is just fine.. and that if a woman cant apprecaite that.. then that person is expecting too much. Do what feels right to you.. and everything should fall into place.

Well who the hell are you with, because you seam really p*ssed with her today. If she has got double standards then don't bother being a gentleman to her. Treat her the way she treats you. If you are really that annoyed with her then find somebody else. Me and my boyfriend treat each other the same, if he does something nice (which isn't often!) then it's because he wants to and not because I tell him to. I think men like being old fashioned anyway because no matter how hard I try he won't let me find a full time job and let him be a househusband. I think all you men have too much pride and shouldn't worry if women do become the bread winners.

It's all about balance. I don't think being strong and independent has anything to do with being treated like a queen by your partner. When you're in a relationship and you really like or love a person you want to do nice things for them, you feel like doing it. It's not an obligation, if it's forced we notice and it's worse than not doing it. Of course, it goes both ways.

I believe its a "if I get to the door first, I'll open it for you", but my boyfriend is always running to the door to open it for me. I don't expect to be treated like a queen, nor do I expect my boyfriend to do things like open doors or pay for the movies. I prefer in Equality where sometimes I'll make it to the door first, or I'll throw down the money before he's even reached for his.
Guys just assume that because it's old fashioned, that they have to do things like that. It IS really sweet, but sometimes I want to be the one who's being sweet

A bit of curtesy goes a long way, keep up the gentleman behaviour and I hope others will follow. It's not a case of being treated like a queen, but treated like a lady and looked after :o)

We like to be seen as strong and independant and equal to everyone but we like to believe that we are special at the same time. There is no harm in us wanting to feel like we are 'queens'? If you believe a woman is special to you then why not let her know?

I think women and men alike should respect each other. We are in a modern world now, and although it's nice to know that there are men out there who still remember their manners, I think ... everyone needs to feel special .... so I don't think it's up to the man to make all the effort and if any woman does think they should, then I guess thats one to stay away from! They will end up treating you as their doormat!!

It really depends on a few things. Whom you are with, how they feel about it, and communication is great in every relationship. Ask exactly what you want to know about them to their face and you may be surprised. I personally believe in old school chivalry but, only if he's comfortable,I also like to get the door for him sometimes. Hope it helps... Take care...

i think women like to haev me do things for them, so shoe they care adn cos its polite, but they also like to have the option of doing things themselves, and not be treated as if they are incapable of doing things. theres a differencei believe. Though i do think that some women expect the best of both, which i think is a little unrealistic and perhaps selfish

I just wish women would sometimes take the intiative to ask the guy out instead of just waiting for the guy to make the first move. Don't they know how many opportunities they're missing?
