So if you are opening a door for a man you just shove in front of him?

Since you swing both ways that's your excuse for doing that.

mfw swing both ways and still no relationships
so basically 2020 election happens, there's a civil bloodbath, and the political system is overhauled as the nation tries to find unity and a new identity in a new age of political violence, alaska, hawaii, and puerto rico left the union, proportional representation enabled an increasingly individualized and oddly specific political climate, and lib-left lib-right solidarity is the favored form of compromise, now with a new flag!

Yes?

I was trying to be really creative in my interpretation of the links you posted, so that they'd be relevant to this thread, but it didn't work, so thought I'd better say something.

That's holding the door in an enticing manner?

That just sounds like regular door-holding to me. That or I've been enticingly holding open doors since the day I was old enough to hold open a door.

When I see someone open a door, I - on a case-by-case basis - offer them a loyalty card. For every door opened to them by me is one point. After five points, I now open doors for them everywhere they travel, with an extra box of chocolates on special occasions.

That's what it is to love a woman: sacrifice and preparation.

That sorta love sounds unhealthy, not only being willing to sacrifice your life, but constantly putting yourself in a position to be a human shield. I dunno, it smacks of obsession to me, especially if you’re still in the dating phase. Is the woman also expected to be willing and prepared to lay down her life for the man she loves?

Well you see it doesn’t matter if you have roughly twice the chances of forming a relationship because 2x0 is still 0.

So to absolutely nobody’s surprise, the religious Catholic is fond of a medieval and sexist code of martial etiquette.

I swear I don’t even have to try here. Religious people do a great job on their own of presenting evidence of how detestable their beliefs are.
