My 4 year old son opened the car door for my wife this morning. She asked him where did he learn to be such a gentleman? He pointed at me. I never told him to open the door for a lady, I just showed him by opening the car door for my wife all the time. Chivalry is shown and not taught.
I try to treat my wife as the perfect gift that she is. All women need to feel that from their man.
Just my $0.02.
I no longer see it as a proper thing to do. Specially on a bus. What if there’s 2 old ladies? Who do you give it to?
The gentleman thing to do is give up your seat. I do it on occasion if I’m feeling extra good that day, but fuck that as a necessary thing to do. Sometimes I’m as or more tired then someone standing. Just tell her entitled ass to fuck off.

If, by that age, your daughter catches “entitlement flu” from somene giving her their seat on a bus, that means you fucked up as a dad.
Entitlement is a parent problem not a seat on the bus problem, lol.
I don’t always give up my seat on the bus, but when I do, I don’t give a fuck what Canadians think.

NO!
It means you are a weak willed sally and hate women to the point of needing to point out they are inferior by giving them YOUR seat.

It certainly does imply something if you’re only willing to offer up your seat to one gender.

I mean, I’m being flippant here, but, yes I will give my seat up for a random woman before I give it up for a random man. I have given my seat up for a man before, but the handful of times they were elderly.
I would say 9 times out of 10 the woman says “no thank you” and we go about our day, and the times they do take them, they look pretty greatfull.
I have never once done it as a put down, and the fact a woman might take it that way makes me laugh. If you have so little going on in your life a gesture like this needs to be taken to this degree and is seen as a put down to anyone, woman or man, I don’t envy how boring your world really is.
I’m sayin’ Canada must be boring as shit, lol.
That said, if you don’t want to give someone your seat, don’t. I don’t think that is an awful thing either. In fact, neither giving up, or not giving up a seat should have anywhere near the impact on anyone involved’s life as implyed in this thread. Like I siad, if it does, you have a boring as (apparently Canadian) life.

Those are great words but why would you do it?[/quote]
Because I believe in Chivalry. I think it doesn’t matter how the women acts (or a lot of women act in today’s world) it matters how I act and conduct myself. [/quote]
haha
You sound like a guy that rolls over when his master says so.
The woman just straight up declared that a MAN should give up his seat, nothing polite exchanged, no problem inferred, just a straight up “I want to sit there because I am a woman and you are a man”.
The OP’s ability to not laugh his ass off at this woman astounds me as that is what I would do.
Now before you think I’m some woman hating young guy with an attitude problem, far from it. I give up my seat to those who deserve it, be they man or woman, old or young.
IF THEY NEED IT or if I determine they need it.
Some woman coming up to me with demands gets a laugh, no way am I budging on that one.
Its high time you stopped enabling these sorts of women, you’d make it a lot easier for other men in future.

Good for you. So would I.
In fact I would stand for any woman of any age AND any elderly man and often do. It’s called politeness.
I’ll offer up my seat to anyone. The way I see it, if I can spend most of my spare time lifting and exercising then I’m pretty sure I can handle standing up for a few minutes.
Same goes for holding open a door. [/quote]
She never asked politely, she just made of point of being rude and demanding about it. Publicly and loud. Cause she is a lady(questionable) all women should have the seats without asking on a packed(sardines) bus.
[/quote]
She shouldn’t have needed to ask as you should have given up your seat before it came to that. She wasn’t rude; she was simply correcting you and addressing an issue that your parents should have addressed when raising you. I take it you don’t watch westerns either. Lucas McCain would have given up his seat then kicked your ass off the bus. [/quote]
CAPTAIN WHITE KNIGHT TO THE RESCUE!
Another feminist behaviour-enabling “man” who thinks women are the be all and end all, no matter what they do or what they say.
Yes I’m hammering the Canada thing to rustle Deb & Raj’s jimmies, and because they know I’m playing around before any other Northerner gets all butthurt

And they need to learn 2 things.
1: Blowjobs
2: If he aint hungry, he is horny and vice versa.

Hey you don’t need to rub it in that I’m agreeing with Raj.
I did an informal poll of polite gentlemen at my work and the consensus is they wouldn’t offer the seat to someone who is able bodied because it would be insulting. Women responded surprised that any guy would still do that, not offended necessarily.
I’ve only had old guys offer me a seat and they do tend to get pissy when I refuse ( I always refuse politely!). Interestingly enough. I suppose it is emasculating or something I bet they log on to some forum and rage against the ungrateful feminists somewhere on the interwebs.

And for the rest of you looking, grasping for some absolute line of logic as to why men should be giving up their seat for women in the first place, keep looking. It’s probably lost among the myriad of other polite, classy things you never do.[/quote]
I don’t get it.
If it’s politeness that you are concerned with, why not give up your seat to some guy?
How does the person’s sex make a difference?
Should we be polite & classy only to women? Why?[/quote]
Because a man should be offended if another man gives up his seat for him. It would be treating him like a woman.

Because vagina and money make the world go round my friend. Kidding, kidding.
I would imagine the tendency to do it for women more than men is a pride issue. You don’t want to bruise a man’s pride.
IDK, I’m not issuing a thesis here, just an idea.
