(24,012 posts)1. And these "modern men" wonder why women aren't interested in them..a gentleman wins every time
Being considerate, holding doors open for people..especially older people. Kindness is the key

He needs to know how to read his date. If he doesn't bother (or reads wrong), he could wind up opening a door for a feminist who might tell him "I can take care of myself, thanks."
Of course, if that happens, it need not go on his Permanent Record, but he has to stay aware, learn what the "mistakes" are and not repeat them.
Women, of course, have to read guys for much more serious stuff.
