What were the circumstances? What did she look like? Was she old, young, pretty, ugly, carrying anything, pregnant, overweight, skinny? Would you in any of these circmstances? Do you henestly think it should matter? And what do you think you are implying when you hold the door open for her or offer her a seat?

All of you are great except for Silent J. There are bound to be a sour apple or two in every bunch. J, you've got to stop lumping all us women into one bunch. we are all different with different views. I'm an old-fashioned woman. I do not take on jobs that were not meant for my body and I expect to be treated with respect by a man. I don't call men at first if dating. They call me. I listen to my parents and my grandparents most. There's wisdom there that seems to have been lost by most today.
If I was with a man, I would stay home and raise the children. That is how it should be.
Also, I am chivalric too. I cator to the young and old and sick and pregnant. I will always help an older lady, and give up my seat for her or help her with her bags. The same goes for a pregnant woman. I do this because I was taught that the strong should help the weak. When I was pregnant, sometimes I had to sit on the curb or lean against the wall. Some gave up their seats, some didn't.

Yes, I hold the door for everyone, but I give my seat to those people who are old, pretty, or pregnant ...

Well a little history...i used to read up on the Knights way back when and they would walk closest to the road and lay their coat over puddles for a lady. Open doors not speak with their mouthful and all that kind of thing. So me personally it don't matter and all I'm implying is respect. I will always offer a seat, wont swear or try not to be to vulgar in her presence. Its just respect for women in general.

i hit upon an equivalent sort of adult adult males and females carry open doorways now. I certainly have 2 separate reviews while the male held the door open for me and dropped it on his spouse. i did no longer get exhilaration from that, and that i as we communicate stated so. additionally i've got watch adult adult males carry open a door so he can get a good long look at her rear. comparable as while offering a woman women first up the stairs ( which BTW is definitely the different of what a gentleman does)

From a woman's perspective: If a guy did that for me, I would just look down my nose at him. Why should I let guys do that for me? I can do them all myself.
I'm far less traditional than you are. I don't over-exert my body for the sake of feminism, but I support able-bodied women in the trades and the military. I don't want a serious relationship — ever. I'm almost entirely focused on my career. And there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it.

ALL THE TIME at least i offer anyways, its just a mixture of politeness and kindness mixed. i don't need to sit down on a bus and it wont kill me to hold the door for a few seconds to help someone else, but the main benefit is that for a split second you acknowledge a total stranger and share a moment of kindness, its not always reciprocated but mostly both walk away a little happier.

I hold the door open for people on many ocassions and offer my seat in the same. Normally it is out of habit and for mostly everyone. I guess it's old fashioned but it's just polite.

I open the door for all, including men. It doesn't matter what they look like. This is my way of showing respect for my fellow man. I've never had anyone get upset. I would also offer my seat to anybody who needs one for the same reason. I love people.

I do these things routinely because it is the way I was raised, and I don't always do it for the woman I do it for myself to maintain a level of gentlemanliness.I am not implying anything and women should not assume to read anything into it.
