Is it dorky for guys to be opening doors or pulling chairs for girls?

if a guy does old-fashioned stuff, is that a big turn off or is that okay?

I would love guys who would assist me in the aisle of a dark cinema, hold out the door and pull out a chair for me, take my elbow when crossing the street. Makes me feel respected. Girls love to be pampered and those little acts would earn some points for the guys.

Most guys do not do them anymore. They should be the ones to be branded as dorks.

I really appreciate a guy opening doors for me, but pulling my chair just seems a bit creepy most of the time. Motioning to my chair, and and allowing me to sit first before he settles into his chair is more than acceptable.
It tells me a guy respects me and knows how to treat a woman. Too bad more guys don't do it.


lord_talan_x
something i was told as a teen and it still applies " I do not open the door for you because you are a woman...I do it because I am a gentleman"

How can it possibly be dorky.
It doesn't hurt the guy to do it nor does it cost anything.
It just shows he has some respect for the opposite sex.
Chivalry is dying BUT it isn't dead.
I always open the door for my wife, hold her arm when crossing the street, walk on the roadside of the footpath (pavement), make her a cup of tea.
Why, because she does a lot more for me.


Nate
I like to do these things for women. I don't think they think it's dorky. I think most women appreciate it.


clncarplz
Girls & women like to be shown respect which is what you are doing when do these things. There is an old proverb that says "Good manners cost nothing but pays big dividends" You will find in your later life that this is very true! I commend you for your thoughtfullness & courtesy for doing these little things.

That is really sweet. I love it when my fiance does that. So it's definitely not dorky. Guys like that are real gentlemen.


torchwoodterror
Good manners are always in vogue. Any woman that doesn't appreciate the little things isn't a proper lady.

No it's not a turn off, it's actually good that a guy does this because it proves that he has good manners and was raised properly.

Its dorky if you don't! My GF freaks out if i do that - says that is awesome and well i actually spend the extra time for her and she really loves it. Mind you - also listening to her is a bonus - but hey - opening doors and pulling chairs and taking them to recreation places is a plus and a half and can get u places faster then just rushing through the fast food line - take her to a restaurant - show that u got some class.


Big Daddy
no its not dorky


Star
no its a good thing for men 2 be respectin the ladies


Spydey
No missy. I think it's chivalrous. There are men who still do that kind of stuff. They're the last boy scouts.

It's a BIG turn on!

would earn him a million "pogi points"

I'd say that if a guy doesnt do that he's not worth dating.

Definitely not. Women may be modern in their outlook but they always welcome gestures from men that make them really feminine or womanly like opening doors or pulling out chairs for them. May be quaint or old-fashioned but it shows respectfulness.

no it's not, filipinos will always be a filipino, if binuksan ng lolo mo ang pintuan para sa lola mo, then you should do the same to not only your girlfriend but to anyone, i myself do it all the time

If your bf is doing that stuff then girl you dig a gold!

No, absolutely not!!!
That's pretty sweet of them to do such act.....
I would want guys to do that to me!!!


Lalala1221
No.Its polite.Its just how they do it,Pulling the chair to far away or too near.etc


maej
Quite the opposite.

Women are impressed to see guys doing things like that for them. It is very flattering and so sweet if you're with a guy who pulls chairs and open doors for you. It makes you feel good about yourself. You feel like, wow! haba ng hair ko ateh, *flips hair*. It makes you feel very special, well-cared for and loved.

Being a gentleman for man is never dorky. It only shows the kind of upbringing they had, and their true character.

well i guess if you think it's dorky than here i am .i do try to be a gentlemen ..i don't think it's dorky for a girl to be lady like .my mother taught us boy's that--- many years ago.to always be a gentlemen to the lady's no matter what age .and say ----yes or no ma-am ----and yes or no sir to anyone older than us..

Honestly, that is all bullshit. I will hold the door for anybody and not just a woman. if, I am going to enter the same door. But I will not run and open the door just for a lady to get in. I will let the woman seat in a chair if that is the only chair available. But I will not pull a chair for a woman just because she wanted to seat. And I will not open the door for a woman if she wants to get in a car, specially if I'm driving. Nowadays guy's does those thing are waiting for a tip. And if he is your suitors that means he got big insecurities. And if he is your boyfriend I don't think he will act the same way for the rest of his life and he is not showing his real character. Get real guys.


Felicity???
It's very impressive for a guy to do such things. <*-*>


Juan C
as a gentlemen, I would do that... and also, for old people...


Aref H4
I'm a dork! All my life I've looking for one word to describe myself, and now I've found it! Thanks a lot!

In todays world of equal rights between men and women the old rule of pulling a chair out for a girl or opening a door for her is just too dorky now. Since women want to do everything that a man does have the right to become a fire person a sanitation person (garbage coolector) a police person even to ahve the right to be a woman reporter going into the mens locker room after a baseball or football game then the old rules of treating a girl with extra attention like always paying at dinner or lunch or letting a girl go through the door first or giving up a seat on a crowded train or bus for a girl goes out the window nowadays.

A man would not do those things for another man (pay for lunch or dinner always or pull a chair out for another man) so the old rules of yesteryear no longer apply.

Since women want to be considered the equal of men then they should be treated like men by other men in the work setting.

Sometimes the old rules can apply sometimes when a man is goign to date a woman and between a husband and wife other than that it's equal treatment for all.

It is an etiquette, we Filipinos were very proud of, we even give our bus seats to the disabled and old people. It is called Pilipino Hospitality.
