MEN WHO OPEN DOORS - to be or not to be? - views from the net
Call me oldfashioned but I can't help it a REAL man opens the door, especially car door.
Below opinions from the net:
I'm an independent woman but I'm a strong believer in manners too. I think a man should open the door for a woman whether it is a car door or whether it's upon entering a building. I think it's wimpy when a man doesn't do this. It's just too rude, in my opinion. I, myself, will open doors for even men if they are entering a building behind me. If they have class, they'll say, "thank you" or pull the door themselves so I won't have to do it as they let me go in front of them. These are the men who are chivalrous and make great impressions on me. As far as the rest who don't...they don't represent much of anything to me.
Yes. It's the proper thing to do.
When on dates, doing something formal, or just to be extra nice. Of course a man should open the door. Its a act of respect not "u r too weak"
Many of you woman will feel slamed for this, but if you don't want me to open your door, don't ask me to kill the spider, get rid of the mouse, shovel the snow. Come to think of it, don't tell me you don't want to get dirty and don't want to help me work in the attic. If you want to be an equal on a technical sense, then be an equal in all.
Women are to be pamperd and cherrished, but women don't forget who you are and treat your man right. We all have roles, men and women are better suited for different stuff.
Now I know some women are getting mad, but hey I speak my heart! I envy women in many ways: they can bring life into this world, are a special tool of God's hand, and outlive us men (LOL) just to mention a few.
It shows that I value her. That I care for her. If I'm going through a door and someone is behind me, then I'll pause for the few seconds that it takes to keep the door from closing on him or her. Common courtesy. The desire to make life a bit easier for others. I also open the car door for both of my daughters. Hopefully I'm keeping their level of expectations high for the kind of behaviour that they like to receive. I'd like them to think highly of themselvs, so that they will choose a caring person for a soul mate.

Its an act of kindness and respect. If women get offended, then they have their hearts in the wrong place. Remember, when the guy walks quickly up to grab that door or offer to help you with your coat its because he had a great mom! (something else you women are better at than us men).
Men - stop acting like neanderthals!
I dont know about car doors, but I was raised with that southern courtesy. Ithink a gentlemen should open a door for a lady. It's just common courtesy. of course I know not everyone believes that. when I went to oregon I got yelled at by some girl. she said (and I remember this very clearly) "what the hell! I can open my own damn door!"
Men have forgotten how to be gentlemen over the last couple of decades. I think the lowering of moral standards, the feminist movement, and just plain laziness have all contributed to it. It's too bad too. I think men and women both enjoyed it more when there was a clear line about what was feminine and what was masculine.
My boyfriend always does that, not just car's door, every door. That is how he shows that he cares for me, I feel respected when he does that. Good manners are always welcome.

It is not what he SHOULD or should NOT do. It's about a good upbringing...
I know she can open a car door... again that is not the issue. There was a time when people had class; and people were glad for it..... now, it's embarassing to not have said class and it's easy to rationalize it away with the unwillinglyness to mature....
There is a time and place for everything... are men required to open car doors for women... No... but it's the decorum and the settting where both parties know that he went above and beyond with that little extra measure of 'service'. We've gotten our priorities mixed up... A good female acquaintance... that's just maintaining a nice respective relation... my wife/girlfriend... gets that because she's my best friend.
I agree with you. I am more of a gentleman with women who do not follow feminist theory. All I have to hear is that a woman is a feminist, then I treat her with the same respect as I do a man, then she can open her own damned door, wait her turn, find her own chair, etc.
I've always thought it to be such a loving gesture from the man - it's not a HAVE to - its a WANT to kind of thing...
It used to be common for a man to open the door or help a woman get out of the car, open a door for them, let them go first, help them to cross the street, etc. Now women do it all and do not need the help of the "opposite sex" ha!
Being treated like a lady is just grand, this generation of independent dames do not know what it feels to be treated with care and respect. and that is really sad.
It's just curtious. It still makes me feel good when my husband opens the door for me, after 32 years. A little kindness goes a long way.
