Opening/Holding Door for a Lady

[fourteenandoh]

one argument we got into at work here in chicago is the proper way to go through a revolving door with a lady. do you go first or let the lady go first? turns out you are supposed to let her go first then push it for her from behind.

also, i think it is just as important for young girls to learn to appreciate and acknowledge these gestures we make as it is for young men to learn to do them.

I get a little "irked" if I hold the door open for someone whoever it may be and they dont say thanks.

A couple gripes about the process.

1. When holding the door after passing through the doorway and a stream of people flow by. I can't just let go and watch the door crash into someone, but none of the asshats will bother to even put an arm out to hold the door even briefly so I can can go along my way. It pisses me off even more when said flow of people includes zero folks with the courtesy to even mumble an incoherent "Thanks" in my direction. I'm not a paid doorman, dammit. Don't treat me like one!

2. When holding door using the "lean through & hold with arm" method and the chick passing throuigh the door steps on my dick. That hurts.

For some reason women open the door for me all the time.

I open the door for lots of people. I don't care if you're male or female -- it's a nice gesture.

My cousin's 4-year-old daughter opened the door for me over the weekend as I was leaving her house. She said, "here ya go" -- I was so cute. Not too many polite kids out there like that.

she opens the door for me... with one exception.... if it's a revolving door.... then she goes first and I push it as fast as I can until she falls down and gets dragged around in circles. It's a game we play.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

are there really women that mind a door being held for them?

Yep...

I personally enjoy having a door held open for me and I like to hold the door open for Dry.

I appreciate it more when Dry opens my car door so that I can get in the car. The fact that it is completely unncessary gets me along with the fact that he takes the extra effort instead of just heading for his side of the car.

Kids, opening the passenger side car door for your lady is the quickest and cheapest route to getting laid. Women eat that shit up.

Umm...Dry honey. I hate to break it to you. You're married now. There is nothing quick and cheap anymore.....

Knew a girl years ago who had a guy come pick her up for a date. They walked out to his car, he got in, she stood at the door and waited for him to open the door for her.

How far did he get before realizing she wasn't in the car?

The question I always have is:

How far away does a girl have to be before its ok not to hold the door open? i say 30 feet. At 30 feet, you just walk in the door and forget about anyone behin you.

He did start the car and I think he had it in gear. She was extremely good looking so he wasn't going anywhere without her.
