Women, would you hold the door for a man or give up a seat on public transportation for him? Just asking.?

Answer 1

Door, yes.
Seat... yes if they are in need in some way - have a small child with them.. are disabled or older.. or just don't look like they feel well. Just plain common courtesy here.

Answer 2

I hold doors for men all the time if I know someone is right behind me.
As for giving up a seat on public transportation, only if they were obviously disabled or elderly.

Answer 3

I hold the door open for anyone coming through it. If I used public transportation and noticed an elderly man needing a seat, I would give him mine.

Answer 4

I would hold the door for a man just as I would expect him to hold the door for me. That is just being polite! As for giving up my seat . . . sure, if he was older, had children with him, or looked like he was in need of a seat, etc.

Answer 5

It depends on the situation. When at work, I expect to be treated like an equal and will treat guys the way I expect to be treated. This means holding the door for clients, no matter what gender they are. And helping co-workers when the situation calls for it.

Otherwise, I wouldn't run to catch the door for a guy unless his hands were full. I wouldn't give up a seat for just any guy, but one that looks exhausted and I am not I sure would. But I would be the same way for a woman.

Answer 6

Sure, if he needed it. Sickly, elderly, injured, lot's of belongings, of course I would . I hold doors for men all the time, it is rude to let a door go shut in anyone's face.
And bless you guys out there who still hold doors open for women. I always say thank you. To a one, the men are always in the 45 year old and up age group, young men do not bother, unless the woman is young and pretty. Even then, they are more likely to dawdle so they can ogle, rather than opening a door.

Answer 7

I've often opened a door or held a door for a man, it's just polite. If a man looked like he need to sit more than I did, I'd give him my seat. I think courtesy and kindness are key in any given situation.

Answer 8

Yes to the first one. I hold doors for people all the time, men and women.

As to the second one, it depends on the man. If he's young or middle-aged and generally able-bodied, then no. If he's elderly or physically disabled, yes. (In fact, on my city's public transit system, you have to give up a seat for an elderly or disabled person if there's nowhere else to sit.)

Answer 9

I hold doors open for people all of the time and I would offer my seat to a man but only if he's elderly or handicapped. If he's young and healthy then he can stand.

Answer 10

I view both acts to be gestures of common courtesy, not a gender thing. I hold doors open and have given my seat up for both men and women. It is very little, but I feel it is just a small gesture to show respect and kindness to others.

Answer 11

Door - Yes.

Seat - If the man needed the seat due to age, disability, etc. But otherwise, no. Unless I saw he needed it more than me.

TO TRAVELLER - HAHAHA!! When the heck is the last time I saw any MAN give up his seat for a woman on the bus, "Just because." Give me a break. You are livin' in the 50's.
