years ago, the last time I held doors open for women (under 30), they acted like it was expected and didn't look at me or thank me. I said, "you're welcome" and got no response. so I stopped. Now once I'm through the door I release it, even more so if I know a young woman is behind me.
Most older women smiled and thanked me.
If a guy was close behind or had a kid with him, I'd hold the door, every time the guy thanked me.
[–]Marque0154 points55 points56 points 7 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
That's a millenial thing
They never thank you for anything
I remember buying a guy a coffee on his birthday and his response was 'I wanted to get a donut too'
Never again.
[–]Three-Legged-Fox33 points34 points35 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I think you’d be justified in dumping the coffee you just bought him over his head.

[–]cobaltcolander8 points9 points10 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Maybe, but I rather think it's a young THOT thing - simps give THOTs so much attention and admiration, their egos are bloated like a fugu fish. A couple of decades after the wall they usually become a bit more humble.

It’s more the parents fault tbh

I'm a millennial and I am always grateful.

Cool bud. My apologies :)
[–][deleted] 35 points36 points37 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I always hold the door open if there’s someone behind me it’s basic manners, letting a door slam in someone’s face is pretty rude. Like you say guys always nod or say thanks, women not so much and they’re also much more likely to let a door slam in my face.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Where I live in Canada, the doors don't slam back, so you can just let it go and it slowly closes. That leaves them enough time to grab it and open it themselves if they want to. That way, you don't have to worry about them and you're still not rude, the best of both worlds.
[–]Baldrbaldr3 points4 points5 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
My own experience exactly. So never again.
[–]TheNubianChimaera4 points5 points6 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Its weird you're getting downvoted. I'm subscribed to this subreddit because I like catching the solid key points of women's bullshit to spread it to uninformed men. But yea, this place is cult-like just like every other subreddit. I like what your saying so have an upvote.
[–]Amphibole_-1 points0 points1 point 7 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
If people have conflicting views, they downvote. Now let's look at why that might be...
People have such a stick up their asses these days if they don’t get praised.
I think they don't appreciate the guy talking shit about them for not going out of their way to help people who ignore them.
Would it surprise you I actually had a younger and society definition attractive female hold the door open for me today?
Of course it's surprising, but it's not a game changer if it happens every so often either. It's already been noted that women tend to be more rude then men. But instead of him challenging this premise for a counter-argument, he gives one instance where it's not the case...
If this wasn't MGTOW, it'd almost sound like he's trying to use the NAWALT argument, which holds negligible argumentative value in this instance. Pathetic.
[–]DownvotedFreethinker1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Ok. Conflicting views of what? the subreddits themes and culture? That's ok. Every subreddit group has flaws and logic holes in its core beliefs or principles. I agreed with both what he said and the point OP is making. Both sides r valid. Women r generally ruder these days AND shitty people r everywhere.
[–]Amphibole_-1 points0 points1 point 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No. Conflicting in the sense that some people don't like holding doors for people who aren't appreciative. This guy is insulting them for not ignoring the lack of praise.

Triggered assumes I care.
I'm responding to make things clear to those who are confused like yourself, not to whinge.
Because I just love pointing out when people stand by their stupidity.
For example how you go to effort to be nice to people who don't appreciate it, but don't put in the effort to avoid being rude to those who do.
Or how you appeal to humility to argue the redundancy in pointing out your perceived errors. Or how you associate it with a group who are unable to obtain sex... really effective insult to someone MGTOW, good job.
[–]DangZagnut58 points59 points60 points 7 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Women just aren't polite anymore.
Must be part of that fragile femininity they gave up to become ugly feminists.
[–]DangZagnut2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Not be a bitch, make an effort to look attractive? If you're genetically well, you'll have a .66 or so ratio which is where 36 - 24 - 36 which is pretty much universally ideal. It can go to .8 in some situations. It's a bust/waist/hip ratio.
Now some may like a big booty as a personal preference, or giant tits, but almost always the female form looks out of balance unless the ratio remains.
Feminists hate ratios, they think they can dictate attractiveness because, remember, under marxist/socialist thought, all women are identical (which is why feminists insist women are nothing but holes to fuck) under the workers manifesto.
The fact is a 450 pounder of flab is not going to have attractiveness as a in shape, woman with the ratio.
They could be a 50 - 33- 50 and it would be fine (for someone) who likes big tits and ass and into Giantess fetishes, but not a 50 - 100 - 50, which would look gross.
Ratio is in many ways genetic, although you can do some things to fix it, mostly in shrinking of the waist. Men can build up their chest and arms to get a pyramid shape. Seeing abs shows absent of belly fat, which is indicative of future heart issues (apple bellies are the worst in that regard as in screws the diaphragm, breathing, and hard fatty tissue on the heart).
Not sure why balding is a thing, it may be cultural as there are plenty of women that find some bald men attractive, maybe the T.
[–]bluescape4 points5 points6 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I think the "unattractive factor" stems from two things. One, women wear makeup now-a-days from the time they're entering puberty till forever. They deride guys that don't know what they look like without makeup on, but most of them hardly show themselves without it. Makeup in general (not theatrical makeup) is a super-stimulus to men. Men are stimulated visually when it comes to women and makeup enhances features that signal ovulation, or fertility, or neoteny. Basically all the shit that makes your lizard brain say, "make some babies with her". So that being said, with all the super-stimulus running around everywhere, seeing a woman without her warpaint on in most cases provides such a contrast to all the other women that she's now "unattractive" simply by comparison. If all women simultaneously stopped wearing makeup, our Overton window of what was attractive would shift. 4's would look like 4's, but 4's don't want to look like 4's if they can apply cosmetics to look like 8's, so now women are somewhat required to spend the effort painting their faces every day just to compete.
The other thing that seems to be a big factor is once again related to super-stimulus. Don't get fat. Guys have a problem with this one too. In the wild, salts, fats, and sweets denote things your body needs and/or calorie rich foods which help you sustain yourself when food isn't guaranteed. The problem of course is that this doesn't translate well into an era when you can easily drive for five minutes and get a double quarter pounder with cheese combo without any effort. So in a sense it takes some effort to resist your body's urge to over eat as well as its urge to conserve energy (be lazy) because this was stuff which worked in the cave man days, but doesn't translate well into modern society. Exercise is another thing which is naturally done if you're living in a tribe, but requires a deliberate effort for most of modern society.
I'm a bit intoxicated, so I'm rambling a bit, but I HOPE that my takeaway is that it does require effort to look attractive in comparison to female competition mostly because of modern society as it pertains to super-stimuli.

Obviously, women should start holding the door for men to show they are in charge and men should refuse to enter until a woman opens the door for him.
[–]EaglefromTheDepths10 points11 points12 points 7 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
I hold the door open regardless if a male or female is following behind me. I typically receive a thank you and even if I don’t, I wouldn’t think twice about it. I always try to thank others who extend the same courtesy to me. It might just be a cultural thing in the South though.
[–]hella_ow5 points6 points7 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I'm in the bay area, I've had plenty of women open the other door instead of going thru the door I held open. Yeh, fuck that.
[–]Russian_Bot_7375 points6 points7 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Bay Area
That’s the problem. Unless you work in a high paying tech field, I have a suggestion for you: LEAVE
[–]Russian_Bot_7371 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Exactly. This OP doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I’ve never had these problems while opening doors for people in the Midwest. OP must be used to the insane women from major Feminist-Soyboy areas (NYC/LA/etc)
[–]LILHOMIE12500 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Can confirm, the metropolitan area is a flaming dumpster fire
[–]Jobseekingforlife0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I want to stop opening doors for women completely but only problem is sometimes there is one right behind me so it would look very bad to anyone who saw that I shut the door from the woman. When I hold a door for a guy I almost always get a thank you but with a woman literally no reply. Its very rude but you can't expect much from worthless women.
[–]NickTesla20187 points8 points9 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Would love to slam the original poster's head in a car door a few times.
[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I used to open the door for EVERYONE, but I guess it's sexist
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Men generally say thank you or cheers when I hold doors open. Women? Nothing. I don't hold shit open for them anymore.
[–]Salvador662 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I am not sure why but women tend to open doors for me. They get pissed if I do it.
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Must be that big, fat... ahem wallet in your back pocket.

[–]robowriter2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I don't bother.
Most guys very decent people, but the nasty females holy fish fry you can smell them coming from across the parking lot.
They radiate hostility up into middle age unitl they get so old and senile that they forget they're mad and regress back to pleasant childhood. Be kind rewind.

I came from Poland to Canada and it is common courtesy to hold a door for kids, elders and women. Almost everyone there thanked me, even women. Here I will never forget when I went to McDonalds and there were 2 doors. I saw a good looking girl going behind me so I hold the door for her, she goes through, opens another door and holds it for me and waits. I looked at her like wtf, she killed my boner right away and I saw nothing beautiful about her. It felt like she stained my honor. Fuck you bitch and from then I stopped holding a door. It doesnt cost anything to hold a door, yet bitches will make a problem out of nothing about anything...
[–]Russian_Bot_7371 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I wish this was the common view among men of the US. God bless Poland 🇵🇱 please have plenty of white babies and impart your values onto them
Only time I open a door is when I'm entering or exiting. And if I let a woman enter or exit in front of me, its just to get her away from me faster.
[–]Orangecup051 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Women are fucking nuts.
I hold only for delivery men, women with a baby stroller, and the disabled. The rest have until the door behind me closes on its own to catch it.
[–]SirChoGath1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I hold the door closed to women's restrooms so she subconsciously knows that I ain't taking her shit.
[–]MeEvilBob0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
When I hold a door open for a woman it's showing that I'm extending the exact same courtesy to her that I would show to a man or a name-your-gender.
[–]AngelTe20160 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I just race to the door so there is a huge gap between me and the cunt, then I go inside and let door close behind me. Then I proceed to ignore them further while inside
[–]Vaginal_Tissue_Balls0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I hold the door for both men and women. I don’t give a fuck
All my life I've held doors open for both men and women if they're fairly close to a door I've just gone through. It's got nothing to do with their gender. It's just called being a decent human being.
[–]cyber_rigger0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Lay down your coat. Jerk it out from under her.
Why in the hell were you walking on my coat?
[–]quietchaos2150 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
And they really wonder where chivalry went.
[–]Rescuedbeta-1 points0 points1 point 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It all depends how cute you are to them. I’m tall enough and good looking enough for most women. Only the upper tier who can get more attractive guys than me won’t thank me for holding a door for them. I consider all women equally the same though and not a single one is truly capable of loving me like I do them. This why I pump and dump, from past experience even a women ugly as sin you are busting your ass for wearing your body for will cheat you on. Go your own way, whatever way it is. Have sex or don’t it doesn’t make those of us that do are not better than those that don’t, some of us just take more risks than the others and that my brothers is life.
