If you’re on a date? Hold the door for your date. Not on a date? Open the door and fucking GO!!!!!!1!!!!!!! If you’re in a group of men that are Doing Business, do not get in a match of Door Holding One-U
psmanship..
.
...This is where everybody competes to be the best door holder. It’s worst whenever you are part of a group entering a building that has two sets of doors, and one person opens the first door and holds it for the group, and then a second person opens the second door and holds it for the rest of the group.
JUST. FUCKING. GO!!!!!!!!

If my date can’t hold open doors, what chance to they have of surviving the winter?

A date? Like with a girl? I think I read about those in a book one time.

The most Chadly thing is to shove the door hard as you go through so you basically held the door open for the person behind you by sheer force of machismo.

For holding doors shut in winter,
I wait until my date is frozen, because if I lean them against the door while they’re still squishy it doesn’t do as good a job.

I used to do this all the time when I was in college. I still hold doors.
But I didn’t go on dates because I was jailbait, I was just being nice.

I often think of how much I did not enjoy dating and what a largely undesirable male specimen I am. And then I remember that I’m somehow married.

I read a story a few years back that basically said that a man holding the door for another man is the subconscious equivalent to “taking them down a notch”
So, of course I go ahead and do it out of sheer politeness all of the time. :)

That’s why I try to yank the door shut as soon as I walk through, while making eye contact with the person behind me.
It’s most effective when they’re carrying things with both hands.

Everyone in my office building seems to think the area directly on the other side of the door is the designated “Stop and stare at my phone zone”.

I try to hold doors for people, but it’s hard because they try so hard to hold them for me. The worst is when they try to hold it from the other side. It would be better if they would get out of my way so I don’t have to work to avoid running over their toes. My daughter is the only person who will happily let a door close i n my face.
The very best was when I was in Baltimore downtown. There were panhandlers everywhere ( due to a restriction against the police messing with them, I was told), and they would aggressively approach an passerby for donations. But not me. I tried to go into a building, and they would jump up and race to hold the door for me. I guess that says something about where I ranked on the societal sympathy totem pole.

I have done this, without even breaking my stride.
But usually not. Rarely in that big of a hurry.

If someone holds the door open for you, for crissakes go through it.

Are you telling me women aren’t drawn to the sounds of an s65?
Cause I sure get a lot of fucking old dudes talking to me about my E28/E30s

There is one girl here, who appears to be my age, running around in an 08 E90 M3.

I think being married implies something else about us that only women know and that they’re sworn to secrecy about.
Do they actually like dad bod, or what dad bod implies?

Damn. I never heard/knew that.
We’re such assholes, so confident in ourselves that we don’t even realize we’re subconsciously crushing the egos of lesser men.

I know you speak in jest, but you are correct. My wife and I know each other’s deepest, darkest, most terrible secrets. It’s like a armistice of monogamy.

I’m confused why your above anecdote angers you? That’s the proper way to proceed. And if by chance you get hung out because of lots of people entering or exiting, then you just hang out for a moment. No biggie. Better than being a d-bag and letting the door slam in someone’s face.

My problem is with people competing to stand there and hold the door open while others walk through it. Especially if there is a large group, and more so if you have to go through two sets of doors to enter a building. Then you have two people standing there holding the door like idiots.
Open door, walk through, hand off to the person behind you. Unless you’re on a date, then hold the door and wait while they walk through.

As crazy as it sounds, I have had dates actually compliment my E34.
