I'll take the lady who actually wants to walk in rough terrain with me. Maybe she isn't into the rituals of public approval, and likes to be independent.

If she has the pizzaz to wear a dress and heels and still kick butt, on her terms, then she's not looking for a doormat. That's not to say that I won't denut a grizzly that looks crosseyed at her.


I don't think being respectful to the lady on an icy sidewalk has anything to do with her being independent. It's more of how you are brought up to treat women maybe?


Women, in general, I will hold the door for, etc.
My response acknowledged [with respect] the fact that a woman can often shape her relationship to fit her personality.
I've not only seen such situations, but have been directly b*tched out by women who scorned any man who opens a door for them, etc.
ohwell laugh


Holy cow. That was one major b*tch doing the b*tching out then. Where I work it happens almost daily that either I hold the door for someone or they hold it for me. I always respond with a thank you and smile. It's just being polite for heaven's sakes. I can't imagine being rude to someone for using manners.

So, I am walking out of the local bar last night, and in front of me is this couple, big burly guy and nice looking girl in a dress and heels. Well the guy is walking five feet in front of her all the way down the block to their SUV like he is from Afganistan or something. I remind you that this is Wisconsin and we had snow yesterday. There are patches of snow and ice all over the sidewalk and this girl is wearing a dress and heels. They get to where their car is and the guy walks over to the drivers side and gets in while the girl, in dress and heels, has to climb over a snow bank to get in the SUV. And no they weren't fighting over anything. Am I the only one who sees something wrong with this picture? I suppose tommorrow the guy will be writing into a dating site asking why a "nice" guy can't get a second date. I wanted to walk up behind him and give him a good dope slap on the back of the head.


he should have picked up a chick wearing jeans

I am an incredibly independent woman and there are a lot of things my guy knows he doesn't need to do for me that he probably did for ex's. On the flip side, there are some things he does anyway, knowing I don't need him to do it for me, but just does it because he's a sweetheart. smitten

In this case, yeah I think the guy is a grade A douche bag, but not all women are as helpless as some of us pretend to be tongue2

I think the guy was a jerk.

While I don't need or expect a guy to hold the door open for me all of the time, I do when we are on a date and I'm in a dress in heels. He!!, I didn't have a date last night and didn't open a single door for myself.

However, get out on the paintball field and in a set of camos and all bet are off. :wink:
