Is A Man Opening The Door For A Lady... A Thing Of The Past by Shari Barnes

My father always told and taught me to demand that a man opens, holds the door for me as a woman as a lady. It's something that I learned early on in life but as I grew up and began dating I forgot what my dad taught me. This is important because it's an act of a gentleman. If we are not being treated that way and if it's of no importance then what are we missing? Are we settling, have we gotten to a place of independence that we don't require that courtesy? For me I actually appreciate a man that opens my doors whether it's my husband, brother or friend. When I'm with my dad he always gives me a look when I reach for the door in front of him, so I'm on notice. There's nothing like a gentleman treating a woman like a lady. This was a daily practice for men and women in the 1950s, it looks like Ludacris knows how to treat his lady, seen opening the car door for his wife Eudoxie.
