Delivering Baby - Standing up, or laying down?
on tv you see everyone laying down, but I saw a tv show where the midwife had the girl standing up, they said it makes it easier and prevents cesarean. So which way do you think is better? I think preventing a cesarean sounds pretty good.
Why should a man pull a chair out for a woman in a date, and she doesn't ever pull the chair out for the man?
Believe it or not, the very hot 23 year old girl who I dated was VERY COLD ot me when I did not pull out the chair for her (she remained standing until I got up and pulled out the chair) Both are able to pull out their chairs, but she wanted ME to do it, and she got even angry when I suggested she pull out the chair for me or hold doors for me. Does she want me to do these things for her to ESTABLISH her dominance and exert a power play on me? Is chivalry nothing more than a power play, or squeezing out all leverage she can possibly use? I mean, men pay for the dates, and she does THIS too? What do you think about a woman DEMANDING that the man pulls out the chair in dates, and freaks out when suggested that she pulls out the chair for him, despite both being able to do so? I feel she wants to establish a frame of being "dominant"? I didn't go in for this.
Why should a man give up his seat for a woman?
I don't get this. If a man is sitting down, he should never have to get up for a woman without a seat, just because she's a woman. That is pure sexism. First come, first serve. How can one justify this as anything but sexism? Please don't give me a vague answer like "It's manners/respectful". Why isn't i manners for women to do the same for men?
My mom wants me to be chivalrous?
I'm a guy, and I am 17. Whenever I go to my Mom's family's house, my Mom always talks about how important chivalry is. Often, this gets put into practice, to the point where she makes me stand whenever a woman leaves the table, stand until every woman is seated and pull out their chairs. Up until now I have done as she has asked. However, I don't agree with what she is doing. I believe that politeness and courtesy should be extended to everybody, not just women, and if I am expected to stand when a woman leaves the table, why shouldn't the women be expected to stand for me? I feel like I am expected to be a servant to the women in the family, rather than on equal ground, and I, quite frankly, feel degraded when made to do this. What I would like to know is how to politely decline to do what my Mom wants me to, in terms of being chivalrous. How do I explain this to her and the people at the table without coming off rude, especially when I don't know if anyone else will be behind me on the issue? I would rather not continue doing what she asks with my head down, as I feel this is not being assertive or true to myself, and would rather not feel uncomfortable because I have to do these things. Any help and/or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Ladies: do you prefer the kind Gentleman or the loud-mouth jerk?
I like to consider myself a Gentleman to the Ladies, i'm the guy who will hold the door open for you, offer you my chair to sit on when your left standing. Will show interest in what you have to say and will offer help if seems needed. Most of the guys i know don't treat women with that respect, they are often rude and disrespectful towards women. The ones in relationships are the worst. They will cheat on their partner in a heart-beat, even though they have children together. In some cases where they are pregnant(this disgusts me). Whereas i have no desire to cheat or do any of them things. That would bear heavy on this thing i have called my conscience. Problem is i can't seem to get a girlfriend at the moment. I know im an attractive guy 'cause ive been complimented so. Im not interested one-night-stands.I'm also not interested in women who dont show respect for themselves and dress like wh_res. Additional Details: 21 years of age still looking for the one.
