I don't even remember when I learned to open doors for people but I do it when I can. There are certain doors that cause a stop in the flow when each person has to open it so I hold those if someone is in walkshot (earshot). I wait for them to grab the door and go about my business. I used to get tight when people didn't say thanks or toss a head nob but have since let that go. You don't do nice things for thanks, you do them because they're nice I suppose. I don't mind giving up my seat to elderly or mothers with small children, however the situation rarely ever presents itself.

Yep, I do have two hands...two hands that I use to cater to him when he could get up and do many things himself too. In case you didn't know, people in relationships do things for each other. You probably can't fathom that though.

i'll open a door/hold open a door everytime

giving up a seat on the train or bus. nah unless they're eldery or prego
pull back chair, nah.
open a car door for them, nah.


is it me or do you HATE when dudes open a door for you, i don't care if they're holding it open because they're in front of me, but if a nikka is front of me and holds the door open for me to go first, that shyt pisses me off. i'm just like go bruh, i can open a fkn door
Yea that always bothers me. I always stop & look at them like "nikka go ahead:childplease:. I aint a female"

Exactly, if its a chick who is very feminine and what not I'll probably put forth a little effort to do shyt like opening doors (NOT vacating seats). But if its one of those girls trying to be one of the boys, then she's gonna get treated like one of the boys :manny:

Who's complaining sweetie? What exactly are you upset about?


eta: you're probably upset that you can't get one of your multiple babymamas to do anything for you.

im serious, every time you hold open a door for a women you are viewing her as less than human. You are viewing her as an object that is not capable of having strength or the ability to thrive on her own.

The origins of Chivalry is knee deep in sexism and is classist

Sound like some low level hood nikka philosophy shyt. I never think about it more than somebody holding the door being nice but maybe cause I hold the door for everybody.

You know that's an interesting viewpoint. How much has modern day feminism killed the act of gentlemanly behavior?

:stopitslime: I'm far from a low level hood nikka. I don't have a problem with it when they walk through ahead of me then keep the door open so I can grab it & they keep it pushin. Its only weird when they're already in front of me, but then they'll open the door & move to the side so I can go first
