[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I expect men to hold the door open for me.  They always do.  Even in DC where men have been emasculated.  People treat you exactly the way you expect them to.

If I saw one of my boys fail to open the door or offer a seat to a lady, I would feel like a complete failure as a parent.  We may have to live in DC for a few years, but my kids will not become what they are surrounded by.

A gentleman holds the door open for a lady.  Always.  If you are opening your own doors, just assume men don't see you as worth much. [/quote]

If my daughter came home dating a guy who was contorting himself to open doors for her, I'd have a pit in my stomach.  But I'm also guessing your family is one where, while you definitely want your future daughter in law to be good pedigree and have a good job out of college, you ultimately would like her to focus on her family and kids.  So this door opening thing is probably a good filter.  [/quote]

Careful with assumptions.  One of my daughters lives in Old Town (On her own. Not married.). She has a great job in a male-dominated field and is fiercely independent.  My younger daughter is an Air Force Officer.  They still expect to be treated like ladies. They were raised right. [/quote]
