Do you always get the door? Are you just being respectful or is it more than that? Are you only getting the door for a woman you are actively perusing/paying attention to?
Would it be nice to have the door gotten for you every now and then 😁

  1. If I get the door, it really has nothing to do with the gender.

    However, just because I’m a ‘man’ doesn’t mean I should have to do anything, espeicall with dating.

    It’s these types of attitudes and unmatched reciprocation that are what is driving men from dating.

  2. I get the door for everyone regardless of gender.

    I also occasionally make a joke about accepting tips. Rarely gets a laugh but that’s showbiz baby

  3. No its not neccessary, I believe that also women should get the door for you, because thats equality😏

  4. All people should get the door, most notably, the more able bodied person in a setting. But random women should hold doors for random men too, if theyre close enough behind

  5. My mom didn’t raise a degenerate cave man. So yes, I always hold the door. But if she’s cute it’s with more gusto.

  6. I get the door for everyone when walking into a building or something. But I don’t like go open the car door for the lady or anything

  7. If I’m first, I get the door and hold it open for anybody else.

    If I’m walking towards a door with somebody, I’ll generally try to position myself to get the door for others, but I’m not going to make it awkward.

    If I’m not first and somebody else opens the door, I thank them and make my way through the door.

    If I’m not first and somebody waits for me to open the door, I open the door.

    If I’m not first and somebody looks like they’re going to open the door, I don’t make a show out of beating them to the door and opening it to “be polite”.

    If I’m walking towards an automatic door with somebody, I may or may not occasionally wave my arms at it and say “let me get that for you.” Yes, I’m aware I’m an idiot.

  8. If I’m first, I’ll open the door to a building for both men and women. It’s rude to let a door close in someone else’s face. If my wife is first, she will usually get the door. She’s not an invalid; she can open doors, too.

  9. I would want someone to hold the door for me, so I always try to hold the door for others

  10. As a man with hemiparesis, who walks with a cane… Nope. I can barely manage to get myself through a door. An able bodied woman (or man) can damn well open her own door.

  11. Car door? No. Doors in a building? Yes I always do and let her go first

  12. I open the door for anyone who needs it. Always for my girlfriend or mom. But it’s called being nice.

  13. Nope.- Not any more.

    Women have made it clear they don’t want or need anything from us at all anymore.

    And if you’re a woman disagreeing with this – then maybe you should have said something when the war on men started – but you didn’t, you said nothing, didn’t defend us or stand up for us.

    So things is where we’re at now.

    Enjoy.

  14. In Canada, everyone gets the door.

    So no, it’s nothing more than basic politeness.

    Except car doors, I’ve never understood why a driver would run around to get the door for someone unless they are a servant and that person is royalty or wearing a challenging outfit. Just use the inside handle like an adult!

    Also I don’t hold doors if it will impede the flow of people.

  15. Regardless of gender, I get the door usually and let others through first unless it’s in an awkward position. For example if the door opens out, I walk through and keep the door open. If it’s a narrow corridor I walk through and hold the door until they have their hand on it.

    If they’re far away, I don’t bother. If they’re in kind of no man’s land I will make eye contact and smile, and keep the door open.

    I haven’t met a single person in real life who has been upset by it. I’ve had women hold the door open for me, and appreciated it too.

    If someone did get upset, I’d just shrug and walk it off. If it was at work, I’d make a mental and digital note and stop doing it for that person, then carry on with my day. They’d get laughed out of the room if they complained to HR about it, so it’s not something I would worry too much about.

  16. The moment the word “should” enters the equation, everything falls apart.

  17. If I’m opening the door and there’s someone coming behind me, I’ll hold the door for them. Period.
