It’s a dead art really. Being a gentleman. Women have lost the touch of appreciating it. As much as we have a certain level of asshole in our personality, holding the door open for girls won’t get us anywhere. You should just know that holding the door open for anyone won’t be received as extraordinary or cause an influx of positivity in your social worth. If someone were to get a black card for not holding a door open, it should be for the reason that they were on a date. In all cases, women of today want to be our equal. So let’s take that into account.

Now we come to the topic of why on earth we would still go to the time to waste a few seconds to hold the door open for someone. I do it to show that the gentleman is still alive. We’re still here and thriving, just smaller in numbers and dwindling. When going through the process of opening the door for someone or a few people coming into a building, I will first enter and then hold the door open with my foot and make sure to hold eye contact for the next person to come into the building effortlessly due to my actions. I make sure that they recognize the fact that I’m there and willing to do so. I know deep down that every time I do it, it’s not received, recognized or added to my social value. I do know that if it is to happen to someone on more than one occasion and with everyone I know, it is received. If you have friends that are girls, and you go to the effort to always make sure that you are the individual that does this, it will be added to your social value through them. I shouldn’t have to explain that your social value is increased by the number of women behind you that support who you are as an individual.

Holding the door open isn’t the only small thing an individual can do. There are a ton of other small things out there that a gentleman can do that isn’t really received these days. One must remember that having these small attributes as a personality trait will not cause any negative perceptions of them. So remember it’s about maintaining that persona, and not letting it die, even if it’s not received or added to who you are. Even if the women aren’t watching you. We are, and we love you for it.
