Don't forget them keeping their mouth shut until you tell them it's OK to speak.

Women fought for equal rights so I'm happy to give them that. Open your own fucking door anf pay for your own shit. It's a win/win.

I hold open doors for my wife (and other people in general), but that's it. I never heard of this stupid dumb shit you pussies are doing.

Deadpool scene was hilarious. "I'm so confused, is it more sexist to hit her or not to hit her???"

So I have an older pick up that I use to haul stuff. No electronic windows or locks, so you can't push a button to unlock the door. If my wife and I are out in the truck, I'd prefer to unlock her door first, and then she'd unlock for me from within. Just seems like common courtesy, I'd do the same for anyone riding with me.

However, I can't. The locking cylinder on the passenger side is busted, doesn't work. You would not believe how many times I get in the drivers side, reach across to unlock her door, and get dirty looks from everyone around because I didn't open the door for her first. Suck it, people.

To clarify - and I am sorry that I was not clear in my first post. No, G did not open the door for me all of the time. It would typically being for entering the vehicle (and again, not all of the time - but often enough; and definitely when he was courting me; I DID not have an expectation of it; but I did appreciate it. I insisted that I could get out of the vehicle on my own but he did assist if there was a good reason (to share an umbrella in the rain, if I was ill or something...)
As far as opening doors into/exiting buildings - I too do this out of courtesy and say thank you if someone holds the door for me. I am very pleased that my father (and my mother who helped me to acquire many other skills) did help us to learn self-sufficiency. I guess I was misinterpreting what people consider "a modern' woman" I am uncertain as to what typifies that. So; self sufficient, educated, employed, civic minded. I guess that is who I am in this era of time. I appreciate kindness and courtesy and manners among males and females of all ages.
Life is too short to not show simple kindness to other people and why wouldn't you want to do that for the person you love most in the world?

My holding the door open for someone has nothing to do with gender and everything to do with proximity.

Is 'proximity' a french word meaning 'to look at her ass'?

When I was dating I would walk a girl to the car, open her door for her, then buckle her seat belt. It was stupid and had nothing to do with chilvary, but everyone involved enjoyed it.

Pretty sure that's a rape charge in this day and age.

Did you really pick a woman up at her house and then drive somewhere together for your first date?
She doesn't drive. She's going to school around here and doesn't have a car. Normally she takes the bus to school but busses are garbage around here and I wasn't gonna have her either wait two hours on the bus to get to the right stop or walk 30 minutes to the movie theater, screw that.

The door test was a thing in the 80s and 90s but nowadays everyone has a car with remote lock/unlock. You can't really use it as a selfish test, pretty much no one use their key to unlock the door and if somehow you're using an old car that still requires it, odds are the girl won't even be aware the driver door is still locked after you let her in on the passenger side.
It's even more difficult when manually unlocking the passenger side door to let her in also automatically unlocks the driver's side door.

You know what... I don't know what I would do if I got out of my car and the woman remained inside. I don't think I would even catch on to that. She'd just be sitting there and I'd already be inside the bar/restaurant/whatever wondering where the fuck she was.
Yeah it's interesting, I open the car door, let her get in, then close it, but it never occurred to me to open the door to let her out and I don't think she expects it either.

I would imagine a person who just saw another person have to unlock the passenger door would not be so obtuse as to not at least check on the driver door and be considerate enough to unlock it. If they were unobservant and then at least apologetic that would be OK, but if just self centered and not apologetic, then I would release the person back to the wild where they belong.
Well, I'm in too deep now. Went on a second (though impromptu) date tonight and it also went quite well.

I picked plenty of girls up at their house and drove them to our date on the first date. It doesn't seem that uncommon or out of the norm.

These must be some stuck up high maintenance bitches man, wtf opening the car door? You think this is the roaring 20's and men are supposed to be Gatsby or something?
The opening it for her to get out of the car, I agree. I will open it for my girlfriend to get in, though(though not all the time). There's a difference between me opening it for her and her expecting it to be opened.

I once held the door for a girl because I thought she was going to ding the next car. She got all moist and had a conversation about it with her friend. All Women truly are inferior fickle paltry creatures, imo.

I'm picturing a monocle and a glass of whiskey.

I once made my wife moist by speaking sternly to an employee of gamestop that gave her trouble - they are strange people.

My girlfriend told me early on that she wanted me to open the car door for her. I told her I'd open it to let her in the car, but I wasn't doing it so she could get out. She's accepted the arrangement.
