Standing for ladies?
If a guy stood up when I walked in a room I would think he's about to walk out, then get paranoid that I've annoyed/insulted him at some point 
Then if I found out it was out of politeness......... oh the urge to keep leaving the room, then jumping back in it, would just overpower me :twisted: :?
But that is a room full of people..... kind of a group "everyone say hi" greeting thing, but if I met someone on a one to one, or was singling/being singled out, then yes, I do think it's good manners to stand when greeting each other, whether it be the female or the male that's sat down
Although I wouldn't be offended if it didn't happen, just easier to greet each other if you're both at the same level :dunno:

Female colleague "There's no need to hold the door open because I'm a woman!"
Male colleague replies, "Well that's ok then, I'm holding the door open for you because I'm a gentleman".
Female colleague "There's no need to hold the door open because I'm a woman!"
Male colleague replies, "Well that's ok then, I'm holding the door open for you because I'm a gentleman".
Adam remains sitting because he is:
- in a wheelchair
- too pissed to stand
- watching the football
- getting a blow-job from Bertha
- blind and Eve is very heavy footed
- blind and Eve is not very heavy footed
- blindfolded and tided to the chair
- dead from the bullet hole in his head from not standing up for Eve last time she came in the room

:giggle:
I don't get offended at all if guys don't stand to greet me or offer me their seat though it feels nice when it does happen as I do like to see good manners.
Doors being opened are nice too, better than someone slamming it in your face as some women tend to do.
At work I make a point of standing near the lift door so I can hold it back to allow the women to get out first. What really riles me 
are the people waiting outside who take that as a signal to start piling in - pushing past those trying to get out. I don't like to be ageist but why do they always seem to be under 25?
Do manners come with age or is evolution now a case of "the survival of the surliest"?

Such daft social rules do not exist in Blue world.
As they still exist in your world, I will not be visiting any time soon

well I'm safe Maz cos I'm 25 so it can't have been me.......
whilst I try to be good mannered at all times and expect this of others as well. I have encountered examples of bad manners off all ages of people. If there is a problem with younger generations not having the same manners that others were brought up with maybe this is due to the adults around them not educating them in manners.
as for men standing up for a woman etc.......I do apprieciate small gestures like this, and holding doors open as well........but there again I would always hold doors open for others also. To me it's not whether someone is male or female but simply that you should respect those around you , and I hope that others will then follow the same way.
the thing that i find funny is the way some people thank you when you do a little gesture like offering your seat, letting them past you, hold a door open and the like...
some people are really, really greatful....
it shows me that in general, alot of people arent expcting it........
sometimes i end up saying "dont worry about it" to them...
"manners overload"????

I have always been of the opinion that those leaving the train, lift or what ever should do so before anyone enters. It just makes more room on the inside. Good sense, not just good manners.
In as much as people do try to show curtesies and good manners, there is also an equally unreciprocating element at work.
We often meet one another at a narrow doorway, there is a brief moment where perhaps one would yield and the other accept the curtesy of being allowed though the doorway, whilst the other stands by, making it easier. This rarely happens now, as both people do a backwards shuffle which is inconvenient for both people.
There may even be some kind of showdown where the yielder is made to feel inferior and silly for offering the curtesy. Or the offered puts up an attitude of 'I can take care of myself, so bog off boy scout and trim your woggle'.
But what is significant is the final second where both people tend to think, 'why bother' and both dive into the narrow space and squeeze past each other in an undignified shuffle. This would not have happened decades ago.

I was taught good manners, and have always shown them. We passed them on to our children, so what really riles me is when one of my kids (or any youngster for that matter) goes out of their way to hold open a door and gets ignored by some ignorant sod. I tend to find that this is often the case with older people actually- perhaps they think that they "deserve" special treatment?
I have been known to follow someone into the next shop, wait for them to head for the door and then get to it in front of them- and drop it in their fecking face.
Saying "thank you" is not exactly difficult!

Am with you on that one WW :thumbup:
My 10 yr old son (who falls over himself to be nice/help people) recently ran to get the door for an older lady with a shopping bag. My maternal proudness was overlaid with fury when she gave him a cursory glance and marched through without a word of thanks. He looked at me questioninley (is that a word lol?) as if asking had he done something wrong and needless to say said old lady got a mouthful of how manners are free :x

Adam was sitting in his new house when Eve walked into the room, Adam does not stand up. Is Adam insulting Eve by not standing? Should Eve feel insulted by Adam because he did not stand? If so what accuse could Adam have for not standing?
so whats the answer then?
That is what I am looking for. Take it how you like, getting an erection or getting out of a chair. Is it insulting to ladies or not.

Personally I would not be insulted if a man didn't rise out of his chair to greet me, why should he? I don't think the age of chivalry is dead but I do think it has moved on ;)
