Chivalry moves that creep women out

I ran across this article at http://www.thefrisky.com/post/246-8-so-called-chivalrous-moves-that-creep-us-out/.  Written by a woman on what freaks women out.  Just wanted to offer my opinion on a few things that were written in the article.  Click the more link to read on

Yea, I don’t see any reason for even TRYING to guess what’s on a woman’s mind, let alone what’s she’s hungry for.  Unless she says, “Can you tell the waiter I want this while I go to the restroom”, I don’t toy with this at all.  You’re a big girl, you can make your own choices.  Just don’t try your best to get the most expensive meal on the menu just to be trying to take advantage.

Okay, I’m pretty good at a lot of things.  And if you aren’t that good, well, it will be a crushing. If you actually have the skill to compete, then yea, it’s on, I’m going to drop the hammer.  I love a woman who steps up to a challenge.  But at the same time, I realize that it’s probably not fun for you if I beat the living crap out of you in something that I excel at.  It’s the polite thing to do. If I don’t let you win, I’ll at least keep it close.

I say it like this.  If you can’t handle me saying “I have to use the restroom, I’ll be right back” then I don’t see you being with me for long. So no, I don’t try to “codeword” it all.   I don’t know what’s up with guys trying to do that.

I’ll do this when trying to be funny, but generally, no.  I will open a door 99 percent of the time for you though.

Ummm, no.  And as a matter of fact, I don’t know ANY guys that do that.  That’s just plain strange. I will carry the diaper bag or anything non feminine for you though.

To be honest, we may ask, but we really don’t care what he says.  We just want to know if he’s the enemy or not so that we can take the necessary steps to deal with him. We especially do not care what your mother things either.  We will do it regardless. It also lets us know if your parents will be detrimental to our relationship.

Here’s the deal.  Men are providers and like to be seen that way.  If offers, just let it roll.  And offering to do it yourself is a VERY good thing.  It lets us know that you’re not just trying to take advantage of us.  But we’re going to want to foot the bill anyway.  At least until we’ve been dating for a while or know you long enough to where we are comfortable with it.   Truth be told, when a woman pays for a man’s way, it can be emasculating.

If I do it, it’s to be romantic and to really sneak in a smooth close move on you.  I will only do this if I see body language indicating that you actually like that type of thing.  Otherwise, I’ll just hand it to you haha.
