I can't really not hold the door if someone is behind me. I feel like it's rude just to let door close on them. I remember being bullyed for doing it because they said I was being a 'nice guy'. It was around the time hating incels was popular. Was alittle frustrating of a time because I wasn't being nice to get laid, was just being nice because I don't want to be a douche.
It's usually me doing the door holding, but if a woman does it for me, I smile in response and thank her, naturally. What other reaction would I have in a situation like this?
I don’t care if it’s a man or woman or a dog, but I’ll hold the door open for anyone. It’s just a nice thing to do with zero effort or thought for me
You are very sweet
@Nerdvana thanks 😊
A dozen times just this week. Others held it for me too. Nobody acting anything but polite. So glad my area doesn’t have issues with this. It’s a human thing to do here. Normal.
I mean isn’t that just common courtesy regardless of gender. I do it all the time whether it’s to strangers, if I’m on a date, to family members, etc. now I’ve never got the car door for a man but it’s just never crossed my mind that they would need help opening the car door. If it ever seemed like they needed a hand with that I would just open it because it’s literally just a door
I've had the door held for me by woman on countless occasions. It's the decent thing to do for anyone.
I’ve never had a grown woman hold the door for me, but a young girl has! It’s exactly moments like that that give me hope for our society and species. Ell oh ell!
plenty of times. when I'm not sure if I should hold or close cause if timing I just hold and wait 🤣
It's funny to think that this isn't normal in most countries. It's common curiosity where I'm from and doesn't mean anything whether a guy or girl does it.
Yes, I have several times. I will hold the door for whoever is around. Gender does not matter. It would be very rude to just let a door slam in someone's face.
Yes, I’ve done this. The worse reaction I had was when a guy told me that’s something men are supposed to do. Like he was saying that because I did that, it means I’m not feminine enough.
Yes many times The gender doesn't matter , being kind matters :)
@KatherineJ
Let's just say more times than I care to remember... After all, common courtesy costs absolutely nothing.
Sure have! When his hands are full carrying all the groceries or the babies, why wouldn’t I help him by holding the door?
I’ve had a lady not hold the door when I was carrying a large box. I though she was rude.
@MikeInHawaii that’s terribly rude, I agree.
Yes I have, they panicked and held it for me and made me go ahead of them, honestly I thought it was very sweet.
Yh multiple times, because I was walking past and a guy was behind me. Can’t slam the door at them coz that’d be rude af
I hold the door for everyone if I think about it. Then someone holds it for me. Pay it forward. Rule of thumb when driving to work is let one person in for every time you merge.
I hold it for anyone I see, I think it's a social norm and common courtesy to open the door for the person behind you
I have and a lot of them literally refuse to go in. They wanna hold the door for me and don't wanna let me do the same.
