I dunno... You're saying this in a forum where seoulsearch and cinder regularly do exactly the opposite.
Of course there's also Lanolin.
Maybe women are individuals and don't conform very well to stereotypes.

yes but sadly it not the respoect and consideration that is asked for,
I always treated girls i dated like Christ loved the church. doing whatver i could for them.
Opening doors. protecting them etc. but now they tell you that are quite capable of looking after them selves. so it is confusing

Hi Moses!
I know that sometimes your posts are of a more of a joking manner, and I wasn't sure if that was the case here (making a play on the contrast between the use of the words wrong and right,) so I hope it's ok if I go on a short tangent.
This might just be me, but I personally can't agree with believing that stereotypes must be right just because they exist, or that a stereotype holds as a majority fact with only a few exceptions.
I once worked at a place that was near the middle of an area with very high racial tensions.
The stereotype about the blacks were: "All black people are lazy and trying to scam the system, so never let a black person/family move into your neighborhood because they're all on drugs, are going to trash everything they touch, and will drag the whole area down."
The stereotype about the whites were: "All white people are evil supremacist overlords who are representatives of The Man. Their only goal is to hold you back, keep you down, and whenever possible, imprison or better yet, kill anyone who doesn't look or think like them."
Of course, there was also the stereotype that when it came to drugs, all the black people were on crack, and all the white people were on cocaine, because all white people in that area were seen as being "rich," and therefore able to afford the "higher class" drugs.
Are these things true of all people of these specific classifications? iI would certainly hope not, but I'm sure you can find areas where it might seem true of the majority.
But for myself, I can't put much stock in beliefs that are based on very specific concentrations of "truths" that people come to actually want to believe just because of their own experience or hearsay. The majority of people I met and worked with in that area did not fit those stereotypes, and I could never conclude that they were somehow "rare exceptions."
And I would also hope that this is true of stereotypes of any kind, including based on gender -- just because a lot of people believe something, it doesn't mean that it can be held as fact just because it's based on majority opinions.
I've met plenty of people, myself included, that could probably contribute to some falsified stereotypical beliefs, but I guess I've also been blessed enough to both be and meet so many "exceptions to the rules" that I fiercely oppose the idea of stereotypes being accepted as blanket facts.
*Seoulsearch politely pays for her own meal and her date's meal, then quietly heads to the Ladies's Room all on her own, no entourage needed.*

For all the guys who try to be polite to women who react by being just plain rude -- hold your head high, keep going, and keep being your polite self.
It may not seem like it, but there are still women out there who greatly appreciate old-fashioned chivalry and manners, and many of us are quick to compliment such actions.
Gender relations are tough for everyone nowadays.
Men running into women who claim to be Christian but want to use man as a personal ATM...
And women (or men) running into men (or women) who claim to be Christian but want to start groping them -- or more -- after the first date.
I always tell my married friends that I know that marriage is challenging but please, hang in there, because I assure you, there is nothing out here (in the single world.) Dating for everyone is a total Shark Tank.
But with God's help, we will prevail, together!
