Yes, unless she's a feminist. Feminists are independent and don't like that kind of thing from men.
by Vampyre Bat on April 17th, 2008
For the right women I say yes. A few I'd rather lock it instead.
by This Daley has a new bundle of joy on April 17th, 2008
Yes - but I also think women should hold doors for men, too. When I see a man with his hands full - I hold the door. When I am exiting and see someone on their way in or right behind me, I wait and hold the door. When I encounter elderly men, I hold the door. But yes, men should still hold doors open for ladies - it makes the world a nicer place.
by Frankster PartyMaestro Of Sillyville on April 17th, 2008
Yes, I any body in a close proximity of the door ;)
by peterpam on April 17th, 2008
Only when she wants to go through.
by Jeztyr - whispering in the ears of kings on April 17th, 2008
Yes, and then some. Men should treat women with the respect and love they deserve.
Such acts should not be performed or seen as condescending nor patronising.
by DjFedda on April 17th, 2008
yes
by loveschimps on August 26th, 2008
no
only if she needs help
by andthenitsgone on August 24th, 2008
Yes, and anyone else who wants to enter. This is the truth!
by R U Sirius on April 17th, 2008
Yes...............doors? you mean like in plural? How many freaking doors do I have to open here?
by r i p facebook on April 17th, 2008
I think so, but it's nice to see anyone open or hold the door for another person.
by Alan on March 16th, 2009
Yes, unless she's a feminist. Let them open their own doors.
by CoRoNa_ChiCK ILOVEMYH@TERS on January 2nd, 2009
I think that both men and women should do it for each other.
by UneFille on August 24th, 2008
YEP. Women can open doors for each other and men should always open them.
by Suzanne on April 17th, 2008
Yes. I appreciate it when someone opens a door for me. It shows that the person has at least basic manners and respect.
by oldmanuk on April 17th, 2008
Just remember "manners maketh man"
I do for all females mostly I get thank but occaisionally I get a grunt(not sure what that means)
by Robert on September 12th, 2008
The confusion holds no bounds. When I worked in Washington, D.C. (where the streets are paved with eggshells), I was on my way to work on a cold rainy morning. Passing through the doors of one of the hallways leading to my building, I stopped afterwards to hold the door for anyone who was behind me (please note, anyone man or woman, it's called common courtesy).
A woman was coming up to the door stopped dead in her tracks, folded her arms and did the Egyptian neck swing thing, saying "I don't need a MAN to hold a door open for me!". As I was already soaked to the bone with a malfunctioning umbrella, cold, shivering and in dire need of coffee and in no mood, I shut the huge glass doors and slid my busted umbrella through the round handles of the doors, effectively locking it and told her, "Good luck with that." and walked off, leaving her no alternative but to go around and walk through the freezing rain.
I hated what I did, but at that time I was so sick and tired of the PC movement that was so prevalent in that area, that I had decided I wasn't going to put up with it anymore. As far as I was concerned, whoever invented Political Correctness should be dragged outside and made "living-impaired"
by paradox4 questions questions on August 24th, 2008
Oooh, yes! Don't believe the feminist crap. I love it when my man holds a door for me!
by BeccaBaby on August 24th, 2008
Well, simply put....YES! I think we should all hold the doors for each other! If you see someone in need or just to be courteous, we should hold the door for others in general regardless of their sex.
Personally, it makes my day. A man at the convenient store down the road went out of his way to hold the door for me today when I had my hands full, and it just made my day and I was having a crappy one. I, in turn, took the time to hold open the 2nd door for an older woman who wasnt moving as quickly but I wanted to hold it for her. I suppose I felt the need to pass this kindness on to someone else.
So, yes, I believe we should hold the doors for each other!! A little common courtesy goes a long way!
by Gi57 on April 17th, 2008
yes. guys that don't appear rude and ill-mannered.
and that goes for women also, if a woman is at a door first, she should certainly hold it for the man entering behind her.
by phinswin on April 17th, 2008
another vote for yes.
by Jacques on October 24th, 2009
Sure, if she's carrying a tray full of beers.
hehe
by randomperson on April 12th, 2009
Yes - I hate it when these femenist types are like
"No, men who do that belittle us"
I think anyone should anyway...I always do lol...
by . on March 16th, 2009
definitely! i think its very sweet when a man opens my door. =)
it shows that he is a gentleman & is always thinking about me being comfortable & making sure everything's okay for me! =D
i dig it. =)
by leeks5229 on March 13th, 2009
This act of courtesy is not engraved in stone. I think it is still fine to do so depending on the propriety of the situation.
by -_You Can Leave Your Hat On....- on March 13th, 2009
yep!! i expect it from all men!
by Ruby Doomsday on January 2nd, 2009
Whoever gets to the door first may open the door for both. It's a sweet thing to do, whether you're a man or a woman. :)
by Don Gorgeous George on October 18th, 2008
Only if he wants to, or if the woman's hands are full.
by debodun on September 12th, 2008
If there is equal rights where you are, then no. If women wants equal rights and wants to be treated equally to men, then they should have to open their own doors
by Koz - Passion Perseverance Patience on August 26th, 2008
I always do and always will.
by jaygee on December 1st, 2009
I still do it for all woman as that was how I was raised. It funny when you dont get a thank you for it though.
by Sharona Life is a Tale Told by an Idiot on November 16th, 2009
If the man sincerely has respect for himself, his manners and women.
by redneck in polo AKA Captain Random on November 15th, 2009
I still always do and I'll light her cigarette(if she smokes)and pull out her chair and all the other crap my Mother taught me to do because it's the polite respectful thing to do
by DukeG on October 30th, 2009
I always do. I have heard comments ranging from, "you first" to "Chivalry still exists" I guess it all depends on the woman.
by Sodahead on October 24th, 2009
Unless she has testicles I still do.
by Riding the last galaxy on October 24th, 2009
Absolutely a man should hold a door open for the ladies. :)
by philip on October 24th, 2009
fuck chivalry. unless you know the woman is putting out, you make that hoe get the damn door for herself
by Shanel with an S on October 24th, 2009
it wouldn't hurt but most doors are automatic though.
by stagood on October 24th, 2009
absolutely, in fact I open the door for anyone...
by Woodshill on October 24th, 2009
yes. Even my 12 year old son opens doors for women. It is a common courtesy a man shows a woman.
by scotty on October 24th, 2009
if hes a bell hop then yes
by starynite on April 14th, 2009
yes. i think its nice. feels good
by anddeb on March 16th, 2009
It is nice when they do. Usually men do for me. I rarely come in or out passing a man unless he holds the door and I thank him.
by Anonymous on March 16th, 2009
Nah just get automatic doors
by Dominicanito Lindo on March 13th, 2009
i always do, so yes
by IrnRose on November 10th, 2009
i do whenever i can
by Dock on November 10th, 2009
Absolutely!
by Anonymous on November 15th, 2009
I don't know if you "should" but I do. It's probably partly to do with how I was brought up. Although I do allow most people to go before I do (including men I mean). It's just polite.
by Only1Witch on November 10th, 2009
You can open a door for me anytime!!
by Tom on November 10th, 2009
Yes.
