They hold it open for me, but it's probably because I'm sexy.

well i had nothing to do with as i wasnt the man in the scenario

and thats a lame excuse to not be polite. honestly it just sounds like you're kind of a bltch

not to mention i said women dont hold open doors for men, and for someone you chimed in with "women hold doors open for me all the time!"

perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension before typing in the future

I'm a big fan of giving the door that little extra shove so it's WIDE open as you let it go and walk away. It's like "Hey, I see you, but we both know I haven't got time to wait around and hold this thing for you. Good luck, it's not that heavy."

To give credit where credit is due, older people seem to appreciate you going out of your way for them much more.

Majority of people I've been nice to and who i'm friendly with are 45+ and women.

Had the same experience and not sure why. My guess is how they were treated growing up by other male figures.

Seeing an older girl now though and none of these things exist. Seems to happen with women I meet that are under 30.

Especially when someone has their hands full.

That's why the woman at Starbucks this morning rustled my jimmies this morning. I had a ****ing mammal and a boiling cup of coffee and she acted like I was her doorman. I opened it with my ass and when she didn't grab it from there I was like, "nuh uh bitch - you gon learn today"

Definitely. The girls I'm describing are typically early 20's.

Females near 30 and above seem to really start giving a fuk about the people around them.. or at least have common courtesy.

All based ime, of course.

I used to hold doors open for people but I don't do it anymore. If I do it, I do it for a family (husband, wife, kids) and only the husband thanks me.

My dermatologist told me that it's not just, like, a one time thing. You've got to start early to prevent. She told me at the first signs of wrinkles she'll do really subtle and conservative botox to stop them before they really start. I also get monthly facials, am religious with my skincare, wear SPF 50+ every day, don't go in the sun, don't eat processed foods (I eat a lot of ****, but it's all homemade and doesn't contain artificial ingredients), don't drink sugary juices or sodas, drink a gallon of water a day, take 10k steps a day, take a hot yoga class daily to sweat out toxins and to exercise both my body and soul, do my cardio, am in therapy to keep myself sharp and on track and realize my problems before they being to affect me (if you don't exercise your mind, your body will deteriorate)...

It's not about plastic surgery, it's about taking preventative measures. The women in the pictures you posted most likely didn't take those measures and thought a plastic surgeon would be able to fix all of their problems -- when he couldn't the first time they just went back for more and more.

Don't get me wrong, I know I'm going to need plastic surgery to keep the glow, but I won't need it on the same scale those women did -- just a little nip here and tuck there.

I think it depends where you live. I grew up in the south where you would be a social pariah if you didn't hold the door for the next person whether you were male or female.

Moved to L.A. and it felt like I was the only person in the city that held the door for the next person and maybe only 1/10 would say "thank you". I don't do it for the "thank you" but by not doing it, it demonstrates their lack of manners

I think it's mostly regional. Would recommend moving to a place with door-holders. Holding the door is trivial but you know these people's manners go much deeper

Holds the door open for everyone crew checking in.

Although when I hold the door open for men it usually turns into them hesitating to enter and insisting I go first. I still insist they go, they enter and we exchange polite smiles and carry on.

this x 1000

I went to school at Texas A&M and manners/chivalry were huge. Here in Denver it's much less prevalent. I've seen men on a crowded train sit there while a woman with small children gets on and no one gets up and offers her or the kids their seat.

You can still be nice to women when the deed isn't gender bias.

Lol I remember one time I was walking into the gym as another girl was walking out and she held the door open for me. I guess I didn't say "thank you", which is my fault I admit, but as I walk in I hear a shrill voice in the background yelling "YOU'RE WELCOME!." As if she just did God's work through basic courtesy.

Yea I used to do that annoying "you're welcome!" thing but then I realized thatmyact of decency is not an entitlement to someoneelsesappreciation.

That's like getting someone a gift and being mad they don't like it.
