ok, so these are just a few of my thouhts, i would love to hear some different points of view. :D
Women are constantly complaigning about wanting to be treated like equals correct? they want to be treated fairly in the workforce, make as much money as men, share household duties with the man as well. But then i also find that many women also want a man who is a "gentleman" someone who will treat them like a "lady". It might just be me, but i find this a little, for lack of a better word, hypocritical.
When you think about it, in the past, why did men pay for dinner? Becuase women didnt work, women were expected to stay in the house and therefore did not have any money to pay for dinner. Im not saying i have any objection to like guys being gentlemen and opening doors and paying for dinner every now and then, but it shouldnt be thier "job". it shouldnt be expected of them, just like staying at home should not be expected of women.
If your a working women, offer to pay for half the meal when a guy takes you out for a date. Or like if you go to the movies, and he refuses to let you pay, buy him coffee afterwards.
Now i just started thinking about this because today I was holding open a door, and 3 girls walked through it then all 3 boys stopped dead and just looked at me, waiting for me to go through the door, as if it was the weirdest thing for a girl to hold open a door for them. And i do appreciate that they are being nice by holding the door for me, and it actually surprised me, cos i didnt think that guys my age who would stop to hold the door was a majority. But when it happened it just made me realize that we still have that stereotype stuck in our heads, cos none of the guys would have stopped if it had of been another guy holding the door.
Iunno, exactly what point im trying to get at here, just trying to figure out my thoughts, and thought maybe a few outside opinions might help. thanks guys! XD

yeah duckie but the thing is...what is wrong with being a gentleman???
ladies do a lot in the day and they deserve the perks of the man holding the door or him seating her at the table or even paying the check on a date, we give to you any way we can because if things to turn out as we hope and the date ends up being more...ye owe you a life if happiness and love which should rightfully be shown in
our every day lives.
but men do a lot of things in hte day as well. like if women and men are truly treated as equals then should the women not show the exact same courtesies to the man?
and if it ends up right then the woman owes the man a life of happiness and love as well and should also show their appreciation.
