@ bambi99 - 19.10.17 - 12:42am To the ladies on here ...do ypu have the expectation of a door being opened for you by a nearby bloke ... Do you blokes deem it a given ? I don't expect it, but most men do anyway, I accept graciously and smile and say thank you and wish hem a good day. |

@ mz.c - 19.10.17 - 01:32am Both men and women should hold open the door. It's just politeness |

@ gt_tdi - 19.10.17 - 01:33am Yes, it's essentially a way of saying 'I do not currently have a sword.' This could be taken many ways lol |

I was bought up with saying please and thank you. I like to think that I have good manners. It's a dying thing thou as some cultures don't do manners at all. Africans especially are down right rude and don't have any manners what so ever.

I hold doors for anyone. Don't be thinking i'm holding the door for you just because you're a woman. If i open a door and nod for someone else to step through first, again, it's not because i wanna get in your pants - it'll be because it's more practical for you to step through first, given the positions we stand and the angle of the door. |

@ eyesore - 19.10.17 - 08:38am Here we go again True though. Ain't no Somalian, for example, ever holding a door open for you. But hey, let's not mention that in case it offends people. I'll look into anything, discuss anything, if you're too fragile then go protect yourself under a rock somewhere. Anyway, i agree with them. The Somalian example. On other things, they show sense. In fact Somalian friends have helped me look at respect, and the way to treat people. Because different localised cultures have evolved to do things differently, and the English have our quirks just like any other. And it's fine to look into it and compare. People are the same. But the cultures they grew up with, and the effect that has on them as a person, varies. And if British/EU governed political correctness stops you looking into cultures and learning about how other people around the world do things, then you should spend more time judging yourself than others. |
