Chick snapped at me for letting her go first and holding door open?
    #19286140 - 12/16/13 09:47 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Sort of a friend with a feminist streak. I was waiting for her to walk through doors first--ladies first--and she snapped at me, saying that I can just walk ahead and don't have to wait for her to go, and that I don't have to hold the door for her.

:shrug:

Maybe Dave Chapelle said it best, "yes, romance is dead... and the women killed it."

I hold the door open for men, women, children, whoever.  She has some issues.

I don't really understand why it bothers people so much.

Next time slam the door in her face and ask her the following "Was that better?!?!"

I offered to hold the door for an old mean lady in a wheelchair one day and she said, "uh..ok I guess."

I heard her yell at some guy once while they were discussing the bible in a restaurant. She's scary.

Same here. At my university everybody held the door open for each other and we all said thank you whenever somebody did it.

Now I have a question here pertaining to the same topic...

Whenever I'm out on a date, I always say thank you to every small thing the guy does. I say thank you whenever he opens the car door for me, I say thank you whenever he pulls out my seat in the restaurant, I say thank you when he pays the bill, I say thank you whenever he opens the door for me...

My question is, am I saying thank you too often? Should I always continue to say thank you whenever a guy does these things for me? Because sometimes I feel like I'm saying it too often.

Better than becoming the ungrateful bitch. If you want to say thank you and it be meaningful, do something nice for him and explain that you appreciate him.

Do you appreciate it?  Then say thank you each time. 


if it's a guy  you'll be seeing again, or frequently, you can bring it up in conversation that you really appreciate it how he does X, Y, and Z for you - and taht you're starting to get self-conscious about how often you verbalize your "thank yous"  (say it all sheepish).  then you can start weaning off the individualized "thank you"'s, as you've now applied a blanket appreciation to the situations

Because hardline feminists are incredibly insecure, and terrible at communicating?

When someone does something nice for you you should say thank you. That being said I would never open the door, AND pull up the chair, AND pay the bill, etc. To me that sounds like something a chump would do. Then again, if I go out on a date with a girl, and she doesn't bring money cause she assumes that I should pay for HER dinner, she can wash fucking dishes as far as I'm concerned..

Ummm, how old are you?

It's interesting, because there are guys who will complain if you even TRY to pay for the date. Saying that women are trying to take away their masculinity and are trying to become men by trying to pay.

Some men, believe it or not, take PRIDE in doing these things, and don't view it as "shameful" like you do. Sounds like you yourself have some complexities and insecurities, just like those overly feminist girls who view it as shameful that somebody is holding the door open for them.

Then there are the men who complain that they have to pay for the date, because they view women as "mooches," even though a lot of men don't like when you try to pay.

So basically, either way you can't win... :bored:

haha thats funny. ive definitely never complained when a girl offered to pick up or split the tab, though ill usually be the first to grab the check.

my gf of 2 years is so 50/50. she refuses to let me pay for her shit. not a feminist thing, she just wants to be self sufficient. its really respectable actually.

To be honest, if courting disappeared completely, I would probably lose all interest in dating.

It's pretty funny you have this viewpoint, because you would probably expect the woman you're dating to have sex with you whenever you want, AND be faithful to you, right?

You'd probably be the type of guy that would expect her to cook, clean, and do all the household and child-rearing duties and perform superbly in bed ON TOP of bringing home 50% of the bacon. :bored:

Yes. I think a lot of guys forget that your average woman is not as interested in guys or sex as much as men are, so men have to keep women's attention by courting and romancing them. Men often forget that for every 1 beautiful woman, they are competing with dozens of other guys out there. And to be honest if you're not offering women anything except your *sparkling wit and personality* (which I can tell in the case of Heffy is a dud :lol:), there's nothign enticing women to even want you.
