Shockingly, I am actually on @ntellier85's side for this. I don't really want my car door opened for me. I think it's silly and awkward. The exception would be special occasions. It's not so bad if you're all dolled up for an anniversary, birthday, etc..
Please note that I am not a feminist at all- I actually want a husband that I can take care of- cook, clean... So that is not the basis of my statement. I just don't like the car door thing.

I feel moronic sitting in a car waiting for someone to come open the door for me. Should I be powdering my nose while waiting? How demure should I appear? Does being demure include smiling or a stoic face? I'm not demure so I have no idea. He wants me to hold out my hand now? Ok, this is really awkward.
See? Some women just can't do it at all! It's just too much pressure for me.
Oh, but I see bonz's point about special occasions- then I'm a bit more relaxed about it for some reason.

Exactly. When I have been in that situation, I end up shuffling my purse/ bag/phone around trying to make like I am actually busy while the seconds slowly tick by. And with the special occasion thing- I'm not saying a guy SHOULD. I'm just saying that's the only time I won't sit there all antsy-like. When I'm all dressed up, I feel like I'm playing a role and it's easier to pretend the door thing is just another part of the role.

Hm. I never have to drive, but I always open the taxi door for a girl and offer my hand when she's getting out whether it's a date or a friend. The exception might be when I'm extremely drunk (I just dont want any contradictions from BlackAmy). That's never been awkward. So instead of opening a car door just take a cab everywhere.
EDIT: Though technically I'm being rude. Taxi etiquette evidently dictates that the man always gets in first so the girl doesnt have to slide. Same with rotating doors.
Chair I only do out. At home with kids, too much other stuff is going on.
And Chico, you forgot walking in front of them down the stairs and behind up the stairs.
This thread really is making me feel old-fashioned. Although I find it funny that it is mostly northerners saying they do these things and southerners saying this is ridiculous.
I do the stairs thing if I'm on a date. I dont do that one with most friends.
I never do the chair thing. Here if you're at a nice restaurant the waiter already does it and if you're not at nice restaurant you're probably lucky to squeeze into the table at all. Maybe I should practice this.

It comes from when road drainage was not as good. This way, you would be sprayed by anything thrown off the street instead of here. And here in Chicago, it is pretty important Chico.

I've never understood this one, but I try to do it. One of my friends swears if you make the girl walk on the outside it means she's a prostitute.
Haha well I have never heard that but I just do it so I'd be the one to get run down by a car and not her.
Exactly. I always keep the kids and spouse away from the traffic, especially in crosswalks. It's not necessary, it's not a requirement by any means, but it's just a little thing that's easy to do that shows you think they're special. The whole car door thing argument is silly. Holding a door open for a woman doesn't mean they are not equal. Making me dinner every night does not mean Mrs. G and I are inequal either. It's something she does to show I'm special to her. If a woman doesn't want the car door held for her, she needs to say it politely right up front and boom end of issue. Not all women like it, not all men do it - kinda like with everything else in life. When we first started going out, we made a deal - she didn't really like having the door held for her, and I liked to hold the door for her. So most of the time, I don't, but she agreed to let me hold the door for her when we're on dates. Good tradeoff.

I told an ex love of mine, sometimes I wish I were in the "old" days so I could prove I loved her in defending her from dragons .. Ok so it was a strange and fun night I have always been told, if you hear something behind you, when you turn around, always turn away from you prominent strong arm so if you are grabbed, your best arm is free. cr****
Also, in older times, men wore their sword on the left hip, to be drawn with their right hand. Men therefore had to pass each other on their right sides to avoid clanging their swords together, and also to keep the sword away from any passerby that might be a potential enemy, to keep them from attempting to grab the sword. Having one's lady on the left arm also had the advantages of shielding her from said potential enemy, allowing one to press her away from danger, and also keep the sword arm (right arm) free to draw the blade at a moment's notice.

Was the tech female? Heck, either way what an amazing opportunity to quack with someone. "Yeah.. I like that... harder.. mmmmmmmmm.. OH BABY that gel is COLD!"

ha! Have you never had an ultrasound? Basically a little device someone presses against the area being checked and it produces an image used for diagnoses. I would think they were checking out a lump or something in this case. I've had them during pregnancy and then to make sure my IUD was in the proper place.
