What are your opinions?

I'll hold the door if somebody is behind me...

I hold the door for everyone who's less than 3 seconds away from it.

I've had the door slapped in my face by young women tho. Basic niceness to random people is foreign to them.

Who the fuck cares. Is this really a post on TRP? "Should I hold the door open?" You sound like a fucking twat. Nobody really gives a shit if you hold a door open. I have so much stuff going on in my life, that I honestly could care less. If someone is behind me, I'll swing the door open wider. I got motherfucking shit to do. I Can't be contemplating the impeccable decesion of whether to hold the door or not. Bro your so cool for smacking doors at hoes. Oh no we got a badass over here. Yeah that'll teach that bitch about respect, smackin doors on her fucking face. If someone holds the door out for me, I'll be like k thanks bye. If someone's behind I'll leave the door open, or better yet press the retard button. Now the only time I go out of my fucking way is for late pregers, cripples, retards, and women with a stroller, or anorexic bitches , bc God forbid if someone smacked a door on them, they'd split into two.

I'll sometimes wait for women to hold the door open for me. One time, just as I was approaching a glass door, a woman on the other side was reaching the handle to open the door too. But seeing me, she stopped, waiting for me to open it. I just looked at her, until she opened the door. The look on my face said, "What in the hell is wrong with you? You reached for the handle and then stop to wait for me to do it?"

I hold the door for anybody. 15 ft rule. Unless it's my boss, then it's 20ft.

Who gives a fuck man, just have common courtesy if someone is right behind you. This isn't some magical opportunity to spread RP hatred on someone.

I remember a study that said that to show yourself as someone with more power around others, you should never open a door for someone, but let them open the door and then step in first. And if you cannot get in there first, let everyone in first and then enter yourself while the last one is holding the door for you, like a boss.

The idea was that entering first would show that the others opened the door for you. And by entering last would let everyone see you last. The issue was in how to do it, or something.

Here is something, the actual full-on study I am having trouble to find it Never open the door for a Male Boss

Easy way to activate the Female Ego Quantum Singularity.

I only hold the door for old black women. Theres just something about them. They're always so sweet to me.

Everyone else can suck a dick.

If someone is right behind me or I know them I'll hold the door, if I have to stop and wait for longer than 2 seconds, I'll let go of the door.

Because of security policies at work, I've gotten in the habit of rudely closing the doors in peoples' face even if they are 2 feet behind me. It's pretty funny actually. slam!

When a woman asks you to pass the salt, only do it if it's between 62-78% closer to you than her and less than 3.2 feet from you. Any other time, ignore her or scowl at her. Unless she's an HB 6.4 or less, then escalate.

Holding the door open for somebody, if they're following at a not-too-awkward/far distance, is just common decency. Running in front of somebody to open the door should be reserved for the disabled or the elderly...that's it.

Hold it because you're a high quality man, and you're generous with your politeness.

Doing it for any other reason is a covert contract

im a dude and i do dope shit. Holding doors is part of it

Just approach it like normal person, if chick is like 2 meters behind you, go through the doors first and just push them back so they wont close right behind you etc . Theres absoulutely no point in holding doors unless you want to help some cripple, or a person with 'full' hands. besides holding doors is self degrading behavior.

I'll hold the door open if someone is close behind me. You have to take care to pass the holding to the next man coming through though. It goes from polite to ridiculous when you get stuck holding it as a dozen people proceed to file through, many without even a glance.

For my date, I'll ALWAYS hold the door, sometimes doing a mini martial arts pivot and planting a quick kiss in the process. When approaching the car from the passenger side though, I kiss her when letting go of her hand, but unlock with the remote and let her enter her own door. Only one woman started to complain about not opening it for her; I shut her down by saying its an unpleasant artifact of the Patriarchy; this was a good enough answer apparently.

I saw that guys video and think he's annoying.

Not holding doors for pretty girls is just another form of validation. I would say treat them no different than anyone else up until the point where you're touching them. Once it becomes physical, give them your best attention and skill. Rock their world with all you've got and when you're done go back to treating them like they're nothing special.

Pretty women are very accustomed to differential treatment. Many men will go way out of their way to be nice to them and some will purposely ignore them or be rude. They're used to this behavior both the special attention and the obvious snub. The trick is to act naturally with them.

I've found that if I know I will see her again it's usually better to be polite like I would with anyone and don't approach. If she's attracted to me she will take note that I gave no signal either way. The next time I see her she will be much more open and interested.

I suspect the game is different depending on how physically attractive you are and how big your city/town is but the direct approach has never worked well for me outside big cities. I've had much more success when I strike up conversation with lady and then leave without asking for her number. Sometimes months will go by before I see her again but when I do she will remember and it will be an almost sure thing. I look at it like planting seeds.

I think if you're exceptionally handsome you don't get any points for being bold and confident, they expect that. If I boldly approach I feel her become uncomfortable and guarded. She's probably already got me pegged as a player, doesn't want to be just another notch on my belt and feels no safety in our possible relationship. If I don't approach it get's her thinking about me. Seems to be the best method.

I should be clear that it's entirely different with girls below a 9, but I'm only interested in 9-10s. If you're a 9-10 girl you could fuck 9-10 guys all day long every day if you want. If you're a 9-10 guy, chances are you only want 9-10 girls which are few and far between, other girls don't even blip on the radar. So really good looking dudes are often going without much more than people think because of high standards. 9-10 girls never have to go without. They already have at least 6 dudes as good looking as you on retainer at all times and chances are they're in a relationship, so cold approach usually gets you nowhere. With these highly valuable ladies one must act like they are nothing special and bide your time. If you're lucky you will run into her again and find her at a time when she's receptive, she will give signal and then it's go time. If you try to move in before the signal then you just lost your chance with her probably forever. Signals are always subtle so make certain you actually got one, if not it's better to wait.

This is just a general guide. There will be exceptions. I've been picked up by models twice and fucked them that night. One was a two day fuckathon before she kicked me out never to see her again and the other was a six month fling. Just know that they're doing this with other guys and have probably fucked way more people than you have.

Never fall in love with them though because she can and will replace you in a heartbeat. Just enjoy her while you have her and be the first to walk away once it goes sour, which it inevitably will.

I hold the door open for anyone behind me, that's just courtesy. Good manners. The rule of thumb is that if they are far enough away that you would be standing there holding the door open while they're walking up, it's too far.

This is stupid. It's generally polite.. Not nice but polite to hold a door for someone. If the person who you held said door for thinks that you did it to service them then they are the ones that are fucked up not you.

I've never held a door open for someone unless it just happened to be more convenient to do it that way (which of course includes old people, disabled etc.). Nobody's ever mentioned it and I never think about it.

As my SMV went up, women started holding doors for me. No joke.

I only hold a door for people who clearly need assistance, either due to infirmity, or carrying packages, dragging kids, etc. It's a courtesy I appreciate when I would have difficulty with a door.

And heh, Grandpa knows a thing or two.
