An apparition dressed in black leather that from behind looks like two pit bulls fighting in a tent, with pink hair looking like it just lost a fight with a brush cutter and more chains hanging from various appendages than hang from an Auzzie outhouse toilet cistern, boots more suited to a building site, a ring through the nose that you just really, really, want to give a bit of a pull to see what happens, and a bunch of tattoo's that spell words that don't exist in the dictionary? Rather lock myself behind the door Fez....is it already Halloween in S.A.? No - it's his new gal!!! Love you Fez!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most men would open doors for me or let me go first whenever we happen to be entering a building, an office or restaurant at the same time. I suppose it is also a culture thing. I just wish they would let me sit in a crowded bus... Blessings...South Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boys not taught to be gentlemanly or males of any age who don't care. 2. The women's lib movement (need I explain?). Yes to both! I was worried about bringing up point 2, but now that it has been broached by a woman And yes I am of the generation that opens doors! But I dunno hey?

Boys not taught to be gentlemanly or males of any age who don't care. 2. The women's lib movement (need I explain?). I'm curious about what you are saying about the women's lib movement. Please explain. I know that I open doors for everyone. There have been some situations that have discouraged me from doing it though. Sometimes women think guys do it because they are hitting on the woman. One other thing I have seen is a women wait for a guy to open the door for her. And when I say wait, I mean she waited for the guy to walk 20 feet before she would go in. Maybe I'm wrong but that seemed silly to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's happened to gentlemanly behaviour......? I always do this, and lots of men in Toronto do this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HIS girl Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 'south' I just wish they would let me sit in a crowded bus... Oh the crowded bus...well that's another issue - in Aus, pregnant and elderly women both have been known to stand while men sit and stare out the window.....

I know how those casts are and cheerfully stood. He didn't want to sit at first but then was grateful for the opportunity. Again, it is all about being polite and having commonsense and compassion. I am always inspired when I see someone do something kind for another or go out of their way to help.... it restores my faith in people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
