Years and years ago my brother was at a wedding. A woman went to walk behind him between his chair and the wall. To be polite he scooted his chair in and she got offended and smacked him. Hello feminism. Where its sexist to be polite.
Really it's quite a hassle as well. I've tried it and it was quite annoying to do.
Annoyed that you had to scoot for someone to squeze past or annoying to have to open the door for a woman?
 
Just don't shave the cat.. :oops:

Single ladies: Do you think that it matters for a man to propose to you with a ring or without one?
I’m an old soul, but yes it matters! If they really want to marry you, they should put some effort into it. The time they spend planning on how and when they’ll ask, the type of ring (even it’s from a bubble gum machine) shows they’ve put some thought into it and it’s not an off the hip statement.
 
Single men: would you be the type to ask the womans parents for permission first for their daughters hand in marriage or just propose to your woman?

Opening car doors all the time. The few times I've tried it it seemed unappreciated anyways. So why bother?

No. Not unless I explicitly had to. I'd just propose. I've yet to date anyone where asking their parents was expected.

You've been with the wrong folks then. I open the door for my grandma, aunts, uncles, even strangers.That's how I was raised. If a gentlemen opens a door for me, he is thanked. That's the Texas way. My son's would run ahead of me to open doors for me. both son's still do. To me it is a form of honor and respect, where I'm from it is both appreciated and reciprocated.

I never told my husband I wanted him to ask my parents. One day, we happened to be talking about the future, and he said he would talk to my parents before proposing. :)
