I personally go for the more chivalrous and gender neutral "After you".
|
|
By:

|
By:
Still you are making the action of opening the door in the first place which might not be correct
|
|
By:
I always open doors but anyone not saying thankyou makes me seeeth.
|
|
By:
The 'after you' thing seems to be appreciatedl with orgasms too.
|
|
By:
Me too. What really annoys me is when you hold a door open for a bird and she doesnt even say anything as if your expected to do that. Men usually at least give you the 'head nod'.
|
|
By:
P.S you know what the head nod is and its nothing to do with buggery.

I, too, am an "after you" chap. However, if they fail to thank me, I say it for them, very loudly, with a glare. To see their faces, you would have thought I had Susan**s head and John Terry's d1ck.
|
|
By:
yeh i cant resist saying "yeh thanks!" loudly if i dnt get a recognition for my efforts.
|
|
By:
I always open doors for ladies, but if I don't get an acknowledgement, which is very rude , I say in a loud voice "Don't mention it" I usually get a look suggesting I have flashed at them.
|
|
By:
I love it and long may it continue.
|
|
By:
I will never walk through a door before a lady period.
You don't have to say ladies first. They all know why you are letting them go first. Sometimes I'll get the odd, "no after you" from the woman I am waiting for to which my reply is that there is no way I'm going through the door before them. Nevermind equality, I think all women like a man to let them through first. |
|
By:
what's a bird's period got to do with it?
|
|
By:
Dave Edwards you say "they all know why you are letting them go first"
I was just wondering what you mean by that? i still feel their are some wimmin out there who might not think its very pc to open the door and let them go first.I agree with you though i think they like having the door opened for them |
|
By:
they like avin their back door kicked in for them...
|
|
By:
You know come on, I'm a man they are a woman and I'm letting them through in the age old tradition. I do think though that whether it was tradition or not I'd still do it.
As for wimmin, I'm not interested in that nonsense. Men are men and women are women as far as I'm concerned. When I was young I went out with a girl who considered herself a feminist. He car broke down and she couldn't start it again. She asked me to do something about it. I hadn't even had a lesson to learn how to drive let alone studied car mechanics. I explained that I didnt know what to do. Her response was you are a man aren't you? Maybe me always letting women through first is a selfish thing too. I guess I like being known as a gentleman amongst the women I know. Can come in handy sometimes! |

By:
Good on you DE :-)
|

By:
I agree with your reply dave edwards, I pull open doors for any women, even grannies too
but yes had the odd woman passing by without saying a thanks but I don't say anything, I don't lower myself but as to opening doors to the ladies I'd sh@g, i give a 10% bigger smile :) |

By:
I like holding doors open for people ages away. Funny making them sprint just so they don't leave me waiting there.
|
|
By:
oh aye dave, but there's probably about 750 women at my work and plenty i'd give a bigger smile to, but I just don't know how to break the ice, well with the women I see once in a blue moon in an entirely differently department
