Funny. I actually say this a lot. But I mean it. The trick to me is keeping my circle small enough that when I say it I'm only saying it to people that I know have my best interests at heart. That wat when they tell me something I don't REALLY want to hear I know it comes from a place of love and respect and I'm willing to listen and think about it. I learned all that the hard way. Because I used to be the girl your assumption was about. I'd ask too many people...including ones that didn't make me feel loved...and then I'd wonder if they just hated me because they disagreed with me. #GrowthYo lol0 -
I assume men in my dance classes are either gay or there to meet women lol4

I assume that if you don't hold the door open for people then you weren't raised in the midwest
I thought people looked at me weird because I'm a lady that holds doors open for people regardless of whether they are male or female.
It's really funny when an older man shows up and insists on holding it open for me to pass because in his mind, it must not be acceptable to have a "young" lady standing there holding the door for people. Midwest mentality.
Is it really a Midwest thing? I've lived all over (originally from MO) and it does seem less prevalent on the coast (but I encounter it a lot here (MS).0 -

It is, but sometimes, they like to get sassy and get in little pseudo arguments with me over what is and isn't appropriate, lol.0 -

That's good stuff but it's generational and it will be gone within 20 years. Love the over-age-50 Midwesterners for this though!
I'm used to seeing able bodied young and middle aged men sitting comfortably and sexting on the bus while a woman 9 months pregnant stands with her knees buckling and visible beads of sweat on her forehead. Or when the guy with crutches got on the bus and everyone just sat there and made him stand the whole way. Okay I better stop walking down memory lane now. It's making me more misanthropic than I already am.
Oh this has been an issue...almost 20 yrs ago ...this happened to me...phone was not an excuse0 -

This is a hard thing to navigate in the upper Midwest where if a young woman were to give up her seat for an elderly man, it’s as likely to leave him feeling emasculated as grateful. It’s so hard to know how to handle sometimes.1 -

It's an affront to them in general for a woman to hold open a door for them. How they were raised in their era vs. how I was raised in mine. I usually don't contest it too much as I don't think it's worth arguing, but internally, I giggle about it.
The best ones are when there's confusion over who is holding the door and eventually I just go in/out because I realize he's just gonna sit there and hold the door until I pass and I'm not an *kitten* about it. Still, it's somewhat cute when it happens.CanesGalactica wrote: »It's really funny when an older man shows up and insists on holding it open for me to pass because in his mind, it must not be acceptable to have a "young" lady standing there holding the door for people.

It is and I will be sad when it does go. I've already noticed far fewer people in my age range that are as polite in general and I get that I'm a bit of a rarity. Hell, not even my husband holds open doors for people. It's just something I was raised around and so it stuck. I don't get offended if no one holds open the door, but it is sad not to see that level of casual politeness extended to random strangers often.
Trust me, I see plenty of what you describe everywhere I've lived so far. It's depressing. I just can't live being one of those people. I may not like most humans, but that doesn't excuse me from being an *kitten* or get me out of general courtesy to other people.

From my experience it doesn't seen like those things happen as often in other regions.
What I do notice about men, mostly older men, is that they will say "thank you" but then hold the door up high and say things like "ladies first" or "go ahead". I don't know if its chivalry or what, but it is much nicer than the people who walk right in without saying a word or even acknowledging you exist.
I can't deny that I am a little disappointed when they walk by without acknowledging the person who went out of their way to hold open the door, but I've gotten used to it at this point.
And yes, hold that door open and make me go under your underarm arch, I don't mind. 1
