We shouldent have to communicate with our mate and let them know how to treat a lady. They should just know. I know we dont come with a manual but come on guys!!!! LOL
Hmmm .... now I'm thinking ..... What if a woman opens the door for another woman. Is one of the women better than the other? How can there possibly be equality in this situation? Aye yay yay - such a conundrum!

I wonder if there's also "a competition" on how good their toes look while doing so?
Pull out a chair for a lady, hold the door for a woman, place the hand on the small of the woman's back as they walk along,open car doors for a lady? Or do some think this belongs in another era back when men rode horses and ladies wore petticoats. I have found that a lot of younger men while out with a lady where I live no longer do these things, its not behaviour that seems to have been passed down to them. What about the older generation of men do they still feel a need to do this kind of stuff? Do women still appreciate having them done?
It makes me feel very very special when my boyfriend holds a door for me whether it be a car door etc.He also pulls out a chair for me when we're dining in a diner.
When I've been out by myself shopping I've had mainly older men hold a door open for me and sometimes one will help me load my packages in my car.I look back at them with a big grin and thank them and make the comment that there gentlemen after all.
I always hold the door open for a woman (or anyone), but these days, what irks me is when people just breeze through without so much as a "thank you", as if I'm their personal door opening guy, or something.
Unfortunately, in this day and age, such chivalry is often frowned upon and many women are too suspicious of a genuinely "nice guy" offering to help them in this way.
Chivalry is dying a death and I can't help but feel that both genders are the cause of its demise.
I'm all about politeness, tact, and manners. Guys who do the old school chivalry thing are cool (as long as it's real, not contrived), but there are many other ways to show politness, tact, and manners, as well.
Her rule of thumb is right on! Frankly, I'm not used to having the car door opened for me. How can I be?! I get in and out of the darn car numerous times every day on my own. However, I still appreciate good manners. I almost couldn't believe a guy who even handed me the seatbelt!

It's crazy my friend as one woman may love the assistance while the other may hate it or take it as a sign of weakness and resent him/her for it.
I for one don't think the latter is worth your time.
And yours too.
