Or plastic surgery.
vvv I was being facetious with the plastic surgery comment. You said women's noses are getting pushed higher. | |

Posted: 12/1/2007 9:07:37 AM | I do, but I've also held the door for people and have them just sail on throughwithout a word.
This problem isn't just with women, it's with people in general.
I have also held the door for some older people and had them be shocked that I did it.
So its happening everywhere.
Some of the kids now days just aren't able to grasp being polite. Not all of them, because I have delt with some very polite and well spoken teens. Its just showing what direction the world is going. Not a nice picture if you ask me. | |

Posted: 12/1/2007 9:14:45 AM | | I agree, sometimes they look over and I look them in eye and say Hi. They then look away or look down and keep walking. Same with the door thing, it's seems like it's become expected, no appreciation required on their part. Just hand them the keys to a new Mercedes then they'll be nice to you. Some women just think that a guy saying hi to them is already thinking about the many ways he would like to bend her over in his mind, which is not the case in most cases. As a society, I think the walls go up for everyone when we are out there, especially the women, this is why we all have to resort to websites to date. The website SOMETIMES helps break that wall down, if you appear the right way in your profile. Woah is the world.... | |

Posted: 12/1/2007 9:14:57 AM | | no not a nice picture at all ... i usually say your welcome if someone sails through a door that i am holding ... i am not saying its all women but women is who i notice it in the most ... men in general will usually say something along the lines of "thanks bro" or even something as small as a head nod is better than being flat out ignored ... because too many women have it in their heads that men are just doing what they do to get laid .... which i personally think is pathetic | |

Posted: 12/1/2007 9:58:02 AM | I have noticed that men will say thanks more often then women do with the whole door thing.
The funny part is when I get to a door first and hold it open and they try to take it from me to hold it open for me and struggle of who holds the door is on. lol
A great movie everyone should watch is Pay it Forward. Good miovie and it makes you think, and maybe cry at the end too. | |

I always say thank you to anyone to holds a door. It is simply good manners. When someone says "Hi" I can return a hello in a way that let's them know I'm not interested.
There is little emphasis placed on good manners these days. Even less on the art of clever social conversation. | |

Posted: 12/1/2007 10:29:29 AM | I think that it started with the 'Bra-Burning era' . .
Women wanted more respect, and weren't afraid to flip-a-finger to get it . .
Some even started the 'Man-Bashing' craze . .
Mostly from their own bad choices in getting into relationships with abusive
Bad-boy Macho-Slobs . .
N o w . . men can't maturely bring up the subject of Intimacy . . without being slammed
for being Single-minded . .
Intimacy is [or Should be] an important part of a Healthy, Loving Relationship . . !! | |

Posted: 12/1/2007 10:33:59 AM | This isn't Mayberry RFD son..... women are more prone to be suspicious of strangers.
That doesn't give anyone the right to be rude, but if you're doing something nice to illicit a response, you're doing it for the wrong reasons.
And if you don't like the response, chalk it up to her plastic surgeon.....
 sorry, couldn't help myself....
There are some of us out there that acknowledge kindness from strangers.
We'll quietly say thank you and keep on moving.
And there are ALWAYS going to be those that just don't understand social graces and your anger about it isn't going to change the situation... it's just gonna be one more person out there p*ssed off because his/her good deeds are going unnoticed.
Keep being nice. I appreciate it.....

That doesn't give anyone the right to be rude, but if you're doing something nice to illicit a response, you're doing it for the wrong reasons.
If you are waiting for a pat on the head every time you do something nice, that will never happen and you will always be unhappy. Don't wait. Do it or don't, but unless someone is blatantly rude, just hush about it. You're pretty young to let this add to your aging process. And it will.
ON the other hand, ass. holes deserve to be outed. I do it here, and I do it in real life.
I was walking out the first set of doors last year and held it for the two women behind me. Without a thank you, and without uncrossing her arms, the biotch simply allowed me to hold it for her as SHE walked thru. She allowed ME to HOLD HER DOOR!!!!
I was cranky.
As I went thru the second set, she clearly expected me to hold that one open for her and her friend too, as they chatted.
Instead, I passed through and let the door close on her face. She couldn't get her hands uncrossed fast enough to stop it, and I had already pictured it in my head when I did it.
*Sigh*
It was a great moment. Especially the squeak of "How rude!"
Buahahahaha.
/me flips the bird. | |

Posted: 12/1/2007 10:56:37 AM | Cats thats sounds like a great moment.
But I have to tell you it doesn't sound as fun as a time I had when the lady in the grocery store kept pushing her cart onto the back of my ankle. I ended up having to accidently stumble back into her cart, that inturn almost knocked her over. I of course immediatly apologized for it. 
People just need to learn thier manners all over again and a little bit of patience(sp). | |

LOL Where I live, people think it's just a big gay community, but the fact is it's actually more geriatric than gay.
I was at the grocery store a couple of weeks ago and it was insanely busy. The lineups went down the aisles. I had stepped back into an aisle to let people pass across when I saw this little old lady on her little ride-a-cart coming. I stepped back even further to give her enough room to get past. I was trying to make eye contact with her to figure out where she was going (like you would as a pedestrian with a driver) but she was not looking in my direction.
Suddenly... She cuts a hard right and slams her stupid cart right into me. Then she backs up and does it AGAIN before I can get out of the way... Now I'm thinking... Okay... She must be blind..
She said something like "Oops" and then finally made eye contact and I said:
"All you have to do is excuse yourself, like a big girl, and I'll be more than happy to get the hell out of your way."
She had the decency to blush as the other shoppers snickered. | |

Posted: 12/1/2007 12:01:27 PM | This sounds like a woman bashing going on........ a pretty distasteful thread really.
What do you mean by " when did women get so stuck up ".......this sounds some bloke just got their nose put out of joint, because some woman didn't bow down to acknowledge him for his good deed.
Just have to learn to get over it mate.....life goes on. | |

Posted: 12/1/2007 12:08:26 PM | It's interesting - - the things that tick people off. Some men like a "princess" mentality, some are indifferent, and some don't at all....
When a man takes a moment to hold the door for a lady, she should acknowledge that kind gesture with a "thank you" or a "nod" and a smile. Tack and class go along way (on both sides).
Nice-ness engenders nice-ness.
I think if you're* a "tool" i.e., you're a guy with an arrogant chip on your shoulder, who possesses bitter feelings about women, you will get a lot of turned away heads. Most women have pretty receptive radars.
However, if you're a classy, well-put-together man, who has a Good Attitude, women will sense this be more receptive towards you.
*Not speaking of the OP personally.

Posted: 12/1/2007 12:16:29 PM | I will hold a door open for a woman OR a man. I don't expect any thanks or anything. I hope they might think "hey that was kinda nice of that guy" and maybe the next time they get a chance, they will hold a door open for someone.
Lets make the world a better place, one open door at a time.

I agree with you too.
I've held the door for a woman before and received no "thank you" in return. The thing is, I don't expect anything back - that's not why I do it.
People should stop expecting strangers to behave the way they want.

Posted: 12/1/2007 12:23:34 PM | It's not just a woman thing though I have noticed that older women are some of the worst for this type of thing in all honesty.
I don't have a clue why...it's simple manners.
I'll hold a door open for anyone, I always say thankyou if someone does for me so I don't see why other people can't spare a second of their energy to say thankyou if I do it for them.
It's just rude and ignorant. | |
|
| when did women get so stuck up
Posted: 12/1/2007 12:35:23 PM | | Personally if someone says Hello to me, I always say hello back, basic manners you acknowledge the person, If someone Holds a door open I say thank you, I was brought up with manners, and even now and I am in my thirty's, it's second nature to me now, I still say thank you to the bus driver when I get off the bus. As I was said I was brought up with manners, and nice manners don't cost anything. I install the same values into my children, bad manners annoy me, and lack of manners really get my back up. | |

Posted: 12/1/2007 12:38:55 PM | I say "Thank You" to the toll attendant or cashier when they hand my change back... I don't know why, they haven't done anything for me but take MY money... but it always seems appropriate...
And when I get out of an elevator, I always tell everyone "Have a nice day..." even though we've ignored each other the whole way up..
Can I get a cookie now? | |

Posted: 12/1/2007 12:51:39 PM | OP...I do say thankyou, please, and hi back when I am spoken to.. I also smile..But to be honest. I do avert my eyes. A great of mine and I were talking about this the other day.. We don't have answer why we do it.
For example, there was a hot looking man walking towards on the trail.. NO no heeby jeeby feelings at all.. When we met I said hello, and looked away.. He said hello, kept on walking.. I am now talking to this person on this site.. But, I wonder how much time we could have spent in real life. IF I wouldn't not have been shy, which is not in my nature..
I also will hold the door open for a man, child, whatever that is just good manners.. I think sometimes people get so busy with their lives, they tend to forget the little things.
Sometimes I know my world lights up when I see someone smile and say hello to me. | |
