+43The only reason to wait a month for sex is if the girl is 17 years 11 months old, amirite?
I've never met a woman who insisted that a man open a door for her. It's nice when they do but we are more than capable and willing to open them ourselves.
Yeah. Goodness, it's just a nice thing! It doesn't mean we think we can't open doors. That's retarded. I think it's great when a guy opens the door for me. I don't think they are being sexist or anything.
I've never associated opening a door with gender. I've always associated it with common courtesy.
Exactly. You are right. I feel the same way. :)
Me too. That's why I want to no way.
Well FUCK YOU little Miss Courteous
That honestly made me laugh. What do you think is wrong with courtesy?
What's wrong with courtesy? What's wrong with YOU!
Well, Courteous. You?*
The Grammar Nazi*
'amirite.net' doesn't allow spaces in their names. Also, the underscore is a very acceptable version of a space. So, you're not really correcting anything.
Touche
Beginning a sentence with a conjunction? Tsk Tsk Tsk.
You wrote an incomplete statement. 'Beginning a sentence with a conjunction?" is not a complete thought. Maybe if you put a "You began" it would have made more sense.
Then again, I have no reputation of a Grammar Nazi I have to uphold. I'm anonymous.
Then again, you're too lazy to make your own account.
Rest In Peace Chivalry..
Have fun being a virgin op, it's going to last while.
Barney Stinson is one of five main characters on the CBS television series How I Met Your Mother. As opposed to his best friend, Ted Mosby, who wants to settle down, Stinson is an unabashed womanizer, and has a plethora of strategies and rules designed to meet women, sleep with them, and discard them.
Never heard of it.
I was totally thinking the same thing.
...What? I don't insist guys open doors for me. I don't insist anyone does. But it's polite to do so. I try to hold doors open for people. And what does this have to do with basketball? -.-
chivalry anyone...? It's not just guys who should hold open doors either, I'm a girl and I always hold open doors for people and so do most girls I know.
How dare you door managers sit uponst the trees! Your minions will forever roast onion potatoes and watch dinner plates melt.
I don't even know what to say to that...
Dude what the fuck!?!?!
Not every girl wants to play basketball. Don't judge all of us because of that. It's common courtesy, and a good way to show your respect.
I think it was just an example, but okay.
Yes, but there are a lot of examples that could also be used.. I was just stating that not all girls are like another.
I know what you meant. Also, this is a dumb post.
Just be polite and open it for the person behind you. It's not that big of a deal.
i never understood that shit (although i've never actually met anyone who did that). like, you're bitching about how men and women are equal yet men 'have' to pay for everything and do stuff like open doors and pull out chairs? it doesn't make sense.
We don't 'have' to, we could let you girls pay for our shit, but we don't. It's just the polite thing to do. Maybe YOU could learn to appreciate that.
this was actually directed towards girls of a certain mentality. but alright?
sidenote: i've never let a guy pay for everything on a date nor expected him to do 'gentlemanly' things. so don't give me that 'you girls' shit because not everyone in the world is the same.
Oh I see... I misread the post.
First comma should be a semicolon. Bad grammar is bad.
Its about manners tho, not about strength and stuff like that
It's though that.*
....The idea isn't that women are incapable of opening doors. It's just polite. You know I can open a door, and I know I can open a door. If you weren't around, I would open it myself.
it's not that women insist on it, it's just a common courtesy, as someone above said. it's an act of chivalry. if guys want to open doors for women, that's fine. it's just a tradition, no need to get all upset.
when guys open doors for girls, its just because its polite and very gentleman-like. Its not that we cant open them ourselves, its just a nice thing to do.
They are two different things. We want to have equal rights, but opening the doors is just being a gentleman
I'm amazed that no one in the comment section got that he wasn't being serious.
@664278 (Rene_Magritte): Troll posts need to be more obvious. They can't be vaguely trolling.
It isn't a troll post, it's a joke post, there's a difference.
There's not a huge difference... But yes, there is a difference. It's still pretty much a troll post.
Fail. Like someone above me said, it's just being polite. And in the case of a woman it's this thing called chivalry. Women dig it :)
Last time I checked not all women participate in the WNBA.
Idiots. This is a joke. Calm yourselves.
If it's an old school door it is super heavy. And when I went on dates (I'm married now) and the guy doesn't open the door then it shows he doesn't care enough to be polite. My husband opens the door for me and I open it for him. It's being respectful.
I totally meant to Yeah You Are! this one but i clicked the wrong button. I just have one thing to say though. Feminists have a movement already, its happens once a month, so why do they need another one?
You can change your vote...
Wrong use of the word "feminist"
