lets start small...

its polite to hold a door open for anyone following behind, yes?

yet, i'm really not sure if i should anymore, esp if the person behind is a woman!

....even more especially, if shes all dolled up, is if she thinks shes attractive.(she may or may not be attractive, thats not why i'm holding the door from smacking her in the face, its because shes not looking where shes bloody going usually) The number of times i get a stroppy bint that doesnt say thankyou, or worse, a snarling response, as if being polite is somehow an indication of an inteded rape or sumat. Sometimes they dont even take the door off you, if you know what i mean. They just walk through, dont even touch the door and walk off. Bloody rude imo.

....what happened to basic manors...? And from women as well?

... i may have over stated this a touch  but i cant be arsed to re type it. You know what i mean.

Well I am one woman who always welcomes a man holding a door open for me, and thanks him with "your'e a gentleman" which is what a man is in my book to hold a door open for a woman.  It directly reflects on him and his personality and up bringing.

If a man does all that and has a woman, and they certainly do exist, that snarls at him, or fails to be polite then it badly reflects on her ladylike manners, or lack of them.  The man has done everything he can so he is good, it is the woman who is not.  That is her problem!

I think it has nothing to do with equality, male or female, whatever. It is, as you say, basic manors. Like "please" and "thankyou"

[cleggy]

I always open doors for ladies, walk on the outside of the pavement allow them to pass while I stand aside etc but if I get no response I say " The words you are looking for are THANK YOU"

At secondary school, my headmaster had a nasty trick - if he heard someone following, he'd flick the door quite violently back in a subtle flick of his fingers.  That caught a lot of kids out, myself included.

If I think someone is being a primadonna, man or woman, well, I learnt something from my old headmaster

Good manner's are good manners.

If someone else has been "dragged up" and does not have them, or appreciate them, does not mean you should give up using them. Simpllles

I find that that the majority of times people do appreciate it.

well yes obviously i agree, but whats the thinking from the other party? thats my point.

its clearly seen as something other than polite somehow.

Ask Loo-knee

and as for the headmaster, i do have a plan one day, to call them back, say "you've dropped something in there" hold the door open again as they return to the shop, and let go of the door just as they come back out again, and walk off.

[omegod]

I always hold doors open for women, only to check out their ass though.

[Varche]

The doors of my manor are always open especially to women.

In Spain people are terrible in general when you hold a door open. But coming from a country that hasn't got a word in the language for queue..... what do you expect.!

[feeutfo]

oh no i dont wait for them to walk through, unless there a pram or loads of bags in hand.

any more than that is letching
