When Walking With A Woman On The Sidewalk...Men Should Walk On The Outside

[Blankthawtz]

WTF.....i was not expecting that...

 

[Typical Simp]

I agree.

A man should also take off his jacket and lay it on a puddle so a woman doesn't get her shoes wet.

my spanish cousin taught me this shyt when we used to walk the streets late night when we was in our early teens. She said the reason is related that woman on the left side on the street means the woman is open for prostitution. I nodded my head and we switched sides, she felt more safer and ever since it has been hard wired in my head. I never personally thought about it but its obvious that one statement left a major impression on me. I still do it to this day without thinking. Its a protective kind of thing

Its not about a car. The custom existed before cars did. It was about women specifically walking on the right side because the sword was kept on the left as to not get in the way of the unsheathing. Turned into a custom later of etiquette for several reasons. I personally do it, but I also float around. When there are no other pedestrians, I walk on the outside. When there are people around, I may switch sides back and forth to make sure that I am between her and any man that is walking. (Man on her right side, I stand between them. Another man comes on her left, I go left.)

U running routes looool

Yes I’ve heard of it, my dad taught me that and even my oldest brother does it when we hang out. The thinking was around the following: if a car splashes a puddle, you shield her, if a car jumps the curb, you shield her, if some shyt is going down - fight shooting etc - you can shield her against a building or push her into the door of one.


I’m not super stringent about making men do this, but the ones who have done it with me, especially when I know they do it purposely, get props. I know they had some old school men/teachings/chilvary in their lives. No offense, but it definitely is something I saw as a difference between dudes who grew up with a father and those who didn’t.

Yeah, but you also said you'd fukk Mitt Romney, so...

Can't say I've ever remembered to do this. Just doesn't come to mind.

I only do this to make other guys she knew look worse for not doing it.

Question Do you have to do this for every woman you walk with or just the ones that you're dating?

When I first learned about this at 16, I was walking with my sister and some old head just popped up and told me what I had to do.

Um, what does have to do with anything in my post?

Your thirsty ass just hoping to start some shyt. Furthermore it was a damn thread about politicians you’d fukk, nikkas in there naming palin and other plain faced beckies and you in here popping shyt like my answers were any more egregious

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

I never knew the reason for it but it’s just something I was taught to do.

It’s not something I ever questioned.

It means you have dated ideas of masculinity/gender roles.

"He's handsome in a classic sort of way " so of course you'd think some dumb shyt like where you walk on the sidewalk dictates how much of a man you are.

"If you don't obey these obsolete rules from the 1950s my dad told me, you're probably fatherless "

I can't believe you negged me for you wanting to fukk Mitt Romney
Your Oakland pass is revoked

Yeah I was taught this by my stepdad as a child.

Now this shyt right here is evil. Fug all that, I wish a woman would tell me to put a leather coat on the wet ground so she can step on it
