I'm just wondering, what are your thoughts on guys opening doors for gals?
Do you guys open doors for gals?
Do you gals do the same for guys?
I open the door for an elderly man/injured man, but not for young/able-bodied men. I guess I'm old-fashioned. It's been such a long time since a guy has opened the door for me, and when a guy does, I thank him and my whole day gets brighter. I don't know what it is but, yeah. (BTW, I'm not saying that all guys don't have respect anymore)
How 'bout it? ^^

I open the door for anyone that might need it. Regardless if they "happen" to forget I'm doing them a favor... <_<

I won't go out of my way to open the door for some one, but if someone is coming in right behind me, I'll hold it open for them.

I always hold the door for whoever is behind me. It's funny when it's a revolving door because they usually suffocate and die, which I think is actually pretty rude of them to do.

I hold the door for everyone. It's called common curtesy. ^_^
Some people need to learn that. <_<

I'm to lazy to actually be nice and do that for someone.

I open the door for woman, and then for guys I just kind of push the door once I'm through so it stays open for them.
Sometimes I forget, and feel bad about myself. ^_^

I open the door for handi-cap people and old people. Also for girls all the time. Generally I find that guy reach out to grab the door to let you go in, so there is no point... Unless the door locks from the outside and you're coming from the inside. You'd kind of screw over the other person if you didn't wait just a little bit.

Man, woman, boy, girl I don't care people should be opening the door for ME, not vice versa.

If I know someone is behind me, I'll keep the door open. If I'm in a hurry, I'll just slip by the opening left by the one in front of me and not care about anyone behind. If I'm about to enter a building or otherwise and get to the door first, but I'm on the opposite side of the entrance, I'll hold it open for any who are close enough, wait for any who can get in before me or have the time to do so and then I'll enter.

I hold the door open for people. Unless they're chavs, then I shut them in the door.

Yeah I just hold it open for anyone, it would kind of be insulting if I just did it for women or just did it for the elderly or whatever.

I open doors for whoever needs it. However, if it's a cute girl, I REALLY open it.

In those cases I leave people hanging in the middle of a conversation and run to open the door. Nah I'm just kidding. I open for everyone but I do it in a cool way.

Um, if the person is like walking directly behind me, I'll hold the door open. And, if like someone is like carrying bags or somethin', I'll open the door.
Although, I've noticed around here people are like bananas about holding these friggin' doors open for others to pass through. Dudes, more than chicks. I think it's really cute (funny), when you're like a gazillion exameters behind a person, and he/she'll wait 'til for you. See, I can't see myself doing something like that for strangers that aren't elderly/REALLY disabled. You'd have to be damn near close to me. :lol:

I think it's really sweet when a guy opens the door for a lady--it shows he can be a gentleman. It also shows he is kind and considerate, too.
^_^, too bad more guys don't care enough to treat a woman like she's a lady. I hate men who think we are just......objects.....gah.
Me, I hold doors open all the time for people. If they are behind me, or if they look like they could use some assistance...or....if they are carrying something heavy/bulky, I'm happy to hold open the door (or help them carry whatever it is) for them.

I'll pretty much hold the door for anyone, offer to help anyone do anything it looks like they're having a hard time doing, etc. I try to be a generically helpful person.

I always hold the door for whoever is behind me. It's funny when it's a revolving door because they usually suffocate and die, which I think is actually pretty rude of them to do.
LMAOOOOO

I'll hold the door open if someone's coming, but I won't go out of my way unless it's an attractive female.

I'll hold the door open for anyone if there right behind me or if it looks like they need some assistance.

What's a "chav"? Is that some sort of racial epithet?

You are not funny.
No. No way I'll admit to laughing at this post.
Well, okay, I did get a giggle... No more...
Yeah, you win the thread.

What's a "chav"? Is that some sort of racial epithet?Mademoiselle, I do believe a "chav" is like British slang for a person who is the combination of you smelly Americans' "White Trash" and "Wankstas." My definition seems to be pretty close to the first entry given on Urban Dictionary, so I think I'm In the Right.
Chav (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=chav)
Gee Guys, way to Spread the Hate... Yeah, leaving.
