Yeah but a lot of women would agree with him and refuse to do these things. I'm not saying those things shouldn't or couldn't happen, I'm just saying it shouldn't be manditory.
Guys can be gentlemen, in fact they'll probably earn a few points if they are, the problem is women should not feel obligated to not pay or not open the doors if they feel like paying and opening doors
Chivalry, meaning horsemanship, was a code of conduct and ethics for aristocrat and noble fighters when called to war. It originated in the middle ages and while a nascent internet meme claims it only mentions women once... there are some interpretations that don't mention women at all.
You will never please everybody. If it bothers you that holding the door and picking up the tab offends her, don't ask for a second date. If it bothers you that she balks at splitting the bill, don't ask for a second date.
Agreed. There are much larger things to worry about as you start dating: do we share values, are we compatible in bed, will they wait for you to watch the next episode of your favorite netflix show
Nope. That's why there are assholes everywhere. Women don't like real men anymore. They like men who treat them like s#!t! And who don't respect them. I would rather have a gentleman than a gangsta.
Ok when my ex and I went to prom he got in the car and his dad goes "Charlie open the door for her" and he fucking reaches across the car and opens the door from the inside and I just hear a simultaneous facepalm from both sets of parents watchi g
Feminists are missing the point. It's about being courted. It's about someone caring for you through these small gestures. I am special and don't mind being treated that way.
OMG, that's not what feminism is. Feminism is about having the ability to open your own door, not insisting no one else does it. This post is just two people spouting their opinion like they have all the answers. Frankly, I don't want to be friends with either one of them.
Guys seem to feel less manly if they are not allowed to do their gentleman thing. I'm not saying treat her like shit, be a douchebag and don't offer to pay or help her, but your balls will still be there if she opens the goddamn door or pays the check
Yeah, I agree that if guys want to do their gentleman thing, they should go ahead. But everything has its limits, and I personally don't like being treated like a fragile crippled doll.
Whatever happened to people wanting to be treated like royalty? Have you considered that they're doing that stuff because they feel that you are above it, instead if in need of pity?
I'm pretty sure you treat royalty like royalty becuase they have more important things to care about, like running a country or in this case, being happy that the world they live in involves people who care enough about other people that they would remove a nessessary action for them. If somebody held the door open, that means that it only had to be opened once for everyone who went through, saving them the admittly miniscule but still existent effort of opening it themselves.
Judging by the medieval standards of royalty, yes. Judging by for example today's British royal family, no. They're just glorified celebrities imo, and hold no actual power whatsoever. At least not anymore.
Please be like this girl!!!!
