Sir John, you bring up a valid point. And your two solutions make complete sense.

I can only speak from my perspective, not the other ladies on the forum...but in regards to feeling uncomfortable in close quarters, I'd have to say it all depends on the man holding the door. If he's given me the once-over as I'm approaching and/or has 'that' look in his eye, then yes, I'm very uncomfortable. But if I pick up that he's non-threatening and just being kind to hold the door open, then I'm okay with it.

I work with men all the time on the job and in ministry settings, and with (most of) those men close quarters don't make me feel threatened. With strangers, I guess I rely on whether or not I read anything questionable in their eyes or body language. *shrug*

My :twocents:

I'll generally hold the door open for other people (even guys), especially if letting it close is going to be an inconvenience to them. Not many people do that here in Denmark though, so its neat to see people's reactions when they see other people going out of their way to be courteous.

independent AND intelligent women.. lol - we know when to give up. ;)
know when to give up
and know when to not only give up but
smile real big
turn your head sideways
bat your eyelashes
and say "thank you sooo much.... *sigh*  it must be nice to be so strong..."  

and smile bigger but refrain from laughing when they blush  :hypocrite:

lol - I'm so not good at the whole batting your eyelashes. ;) And turning my head sideways always looks awkward. *grin*

From your avatar it looks like you've got the technique down pat. ;)

The whole independant woman thing baffles me...I've always been dependant on someone, more often than not, it's my parents. It comes from having sporadic employment, living at home and not having a licence and never travelling more than a day's journey from home by myself (except for work). Mostly because of the discomfort it brings. Sheesh I'm a sheltered homebody. And courtesy and chivalry by people I know, impresses me rather than irks me.

Mind you, I do know what it's like to have a bit of a feminist streak. Like being really indignant when I'm told to help in the kitchen at greek family gatherings while the men just sit around talking (it still irks me quite a bit) and when people not related to me by blood, marriage or faith, do things for me even out of courtesy, I don't like it because it makes me feel like I owe them something.
Television is proof the people will look at anything rather than eachother

Life would be so much easier without hormones

Of all God's creations, humans are the only ones with enough imagination to be bored

Humans are fallible, and they unreasonably expect everyone else not to be

At least enjoy that part that I made bold, if you don't enjoy it, your back in 20 years will really thank you for not lifting those heavy car parts, boxes or whatever up the stairs!!!

Still, independance...I guess is a nice idea, but we all need someone we can depend on.

I'm very independant.  But there's a part of me that would like depend on my helpmate.  There's been a handful of attractive ladies that i've met, but something about them made it to where i didnt want to depend on them.  There's a void that i have in my life that only a special person can fill.   Eye candy i guess?  :noo:

All women look good, some just only when I take off my glasses....especially since without them, the stigmitism limits the clarity to about 1 1/2 feet



(Yes I have decided to become more annoying....I might as well be)

And if you came to Indiana, I'd do the honors!  I'd even take you to a place where several people would happily pound on you!
