    What do you think about 'ladies first?' Do you consider to still be proper etiquette, or an outdated principal?

    Just because she's a woman? Outdated. Unless a woman has her hands full or is incapacitated she can open her own door. I hold the door for people out of courtesy. Probably more guys than women. Shrugs (Oh well…)

    i like it. It is a way of showing respect and consideration. I think part of the problems with our society is that people do not respect each other anymore. The world would be a much better place with a little kindness and consideration.

    I will hold open entrance doors for women, but I am not that diligent when it comes to pulling out chairs and opening car doors.

    I don't care if a man opens a door for me because I'm a woman. I'm not offended by chivalry.

    For the question at hand, I do not make special efforts because the person is a woman. Men get the same kindness and consideration from me.

    I don't think it's outdated at all. But I'll hold open the door for everybody.

    See it as more a courtesy but not mandatory. I will hold open the door if I get to it first but most of the time I will do that for anybody.
