Why do gentlemen always open doors for ladies?
Not because the men want to see the womens' behinds as they go through the door first, I presume? :evilgrin:

2. I just do it for the politeness.
Eh, opening the door. I try not to look even though I often enough want to.

I often hold doors open for men also. Therefore there are only two possibilities: (1) My original thesis was wrong, and it isn't all about sex. (2) My original thesis is right, and I am bisexual without knowing it.

3. Because it's easier than trying to carry her
6 bags of groceries, purse, diaper bag and baby for her.

11. originally a lot of these traditions began because women were considered frail
i think now its just a matter of manners and tradition... some people open doors for everybody..

12. Obviously its because women are just wee little weak things who can't open big heavy doors
I assume that it is based in some sexist drip like that, but I do it just be polite. I also get on the elevator after all the women get on, and if its getting too full I let on any women or kids waiting and I wait for the next.
