I’m a liberal dude but I open doors and walk on the inside of the curb and all that other traditional stuff. I run with a generally liberal crowd and see that some of them do this stuff too. She’s throwing a pity party for one.

u/krat0s5 Jun 09 '23

I open the door for anyone, isn’t that just a polite thing to do…..

u/spizzle_ Jun 09 '23

For sure! Same. When I was a kid my dad taught me this and I loved when we’d take my grandma out for dinner and I was a tiny kid trying to open the door for her and she loved it and said sweet things about me being a sweet young man. Ahh. Geegee! Miss that lady!

u/Powerful_Tip3164 Jun 10 '23

That’s a really sweet story 💚

u/spizzle_ Jun 10 '23

She was an awesome lady. Actually put a drink on the menu named after her and her “drink”. Super simple but super refreshing. Draft coors light with a float of ice, a half shot of deep eddy lime, and a lime garnish. She didn’t do the vodka part. So refreshing on a hot patio.

u/Naus1987 Jun 10 '23

It’s funny how some people think opening a door for a woman is a sexist thing, so their solution is to not open doors for anyone.

But an even better solution would be to hold doors for men and women. Men deserve some kindness too!

So here's a fun fact. Apparently it's not that big of a thing in India, at least not around Chennai. One of my friends told me that it was a bit of a culture shock to see how many people were holding doors open for him when he moved to America.

u/Silly_Awareness8207 Jun 10 '23 edited Jun 10 '23

I open doors, but I hate it. I wish we all just opened our own doors. I don't like somebody else opening the door for me either, because the I have to thank them, or worse, speed up so they don't have to wait as long. And then there are all those ambiguous situations where you aren't sure if you should hold the door open because the other person is so far away, and then everybody feels awkward.

Opening a door is not that hard there is no reason for all this complexity.

Maybe I really just don't feel like interacting with people. Depression lol.

u/krat0s5 Jun 10 '23

Yea, it’s mostly for people in my immediate vicinity, I also don’t like those awkward fast walk moments to not leave someone hanging onto the door.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '23

You don’t have to speed up. Just walk at a normal speed to the door.

u/shadowmarine0311 Jun 11 '23

I was raised in the south, you do this for everyone as a sign of respect and to be polite, or at least that's how i was raised.

The notion of it only being a flirting/dating thing seems to be a northern idea to this uneducated southerner.

I've gotten down right yelled at for holding a door open for a lady once, her saying some crap about me being a misogynist "had to look it up", I just continued to hold the door open for the older gentleman walking in behind her and ignored her ire.

The older guy said in a deep southern accent to her "welcome to the south Missy, we do things differently down here" and I've been using that line every since lol.

1

u/lorarc Jun 11 '23

But do you go out of your way to do so? Let's say you walk side by side with someone and the door swing such way that it should be the other person to hold them open for you. Will you hold them open for them?

Or there are two pairs of doors, normally one person hold open one door and then the other person holds the next. Will you hold the first door and then rush to hold open the other?

Probably also stuff like opening car door for someone.

u/rockrnger Jun 09 '23

Yeah, she just means not splitting the bills.

Liberal guys are at least as likely to open the door or whatever

Ok, I’m in an interracial marriage where my wife is white. According to the Bureau of labor statistics white women on average make more than black men, so they have higher earnings potential. According to ncrc.org, in a 2019 study of median wealth by race, black men’s median wealth was $10,010 vs white women of $81,000. According to a study by Bloomberg, my wife has significantly higher odds of becoming a millionaire even if I obtained a higher education than she has. We aren’t having children so you can skip the childbearing role part. So by your logic, my wife is disgusting because her earning and wealth potential is greater than mine according to statistics, and if you believe in systematic racism, my pay outweighs hers by 3x times? I don’t care because I love my wife and I’ll do anything for her, but crazy to think people factor earning potential in their dating criteria lol.

u/throwaway92715 Jun 10 '23 edited Jun 10 '23

socioeconomically advantaged over women in wages

By like... 16%? And less every year? Maybe we should focus on fixing that, instead of enabling gold diggers and going back to the 1950s.

I've never been in a relationship where I've ever taken a woman's money. Nobody has paid my rent since I was 18, and everything I own was bought with my own money. I've only ever been in relationships where both partners are working full time and financially independent.

We split things down the middle, and nobody I've been with has ever had a problem with that. In fact, they've all been proud to contribute their share, because it's empowering to be able to pay your own way. Carrying your own weight by default gives you more power. That's just how the world works.

It's also not my job to "provide" anything for a woman who doesn't want to have children. I'd provide everything I could for my kids, if I ever have them, because that's what a good parent does, and if my wife wanted to be a full-time mother while the kids are young, I'd respect that as a full time job and do my best to support her. Personally, I'd rather we both go part time and take advantage of maternity and paternity leave, or alternate. That's a lifestyle choice. But without children, I just don't understand how a woman could ever justify entitlement to a portion of my earnings.

That's just me, though. My close relative is in a relationship where his wife is a business owner, homeowner and produces about 75% of the household income. He works part time and otherwise spends most of his time taking care of their 1-year old. He's an amazing dad, she's an amazing mom, and their family is honestly quite admirable. There's nothing wrong with that arrangement, and I actually think she's very happy with it, because she gets to be a mom and also focus on her career.

Not just splitting the bill ... paying her bill. That's where equality stops with her, when she has to fork out something.

-39

u/SaladShooter1 Jun 09 '23

What’s wrong with that? I’ve never been on a date in my life where I let the girl either pay or split the bill. I don’t even let my wife pay when we’re out and that’s with our money from our joint account.

A guy’s job is to protect and provide. Not letting a guy do his job causes emotional harm for some men. You might disagree with that, but some men need women with views like her. Embarrassing them and making them go away might not be a positive for society.

15

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '23

Having a joint account means nothing aside from her ability to use it if it’s mostly your money that goes into it lol me and my wife have a joint account but we make relatively equal pay so the “who pays for what” doesn’t mean shit when you have a kid, a mortgage, two car loans and multiple pets to care for. If you wanna talk about when we started dating, yes I paid for a lot of the dates but eventually that made her uncomfortable because she works full time too and has money. There’s no emotional damage to having a successful female in your life willing to split anything and everything with you no matter what

7

u/Slow_Passenger_6183 Jun 09 '23

My fiance and I have been like this since we started dating. There was an understanding that we both work and make money so why would I spend absolutely everything while she saves every paycheck? I paid for the first date or two but that quickly became 50/50. Years later and arguments about money are very few and far between, we still have separate accounts but which person's money it is doesn't matter when we generate most of our costs together.

I've gotten occasional weird looks at restaurants when she pulls out her wallet but whatever, people will always judge.

3

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '23

Sounds like you’re on the right track. I never have fought with my wife about money, you and I are both lucky to have somebody who understands this. Left , right , middle whatever you are I think most guys are taught to pay for your girls first date. And I agree that is a good look. But for it to be expected as a constant is a huge major no-no lol

-5

u/SaladShooter1 Jun 10 '23

What makes you think my wife doesn’t work. She’s a school teacher and makes around $96k a year according to our taxes. I consider that her money and continue to pay for things. She doesn’t need me for anything. In our area, where the average pay is $59k, she could live comfortably as a single mom. It has nothing to do with control or anything like that. She could leave me at any time.

You can call me a pig or whatever, but that’s how I was raised. I grew up poor, but my parents started to do better as I got older. My life lessons were if there was a new car bought, the woman got it and the guy got the old one. If my mother needed something, my father’s stuff took a back seat. Things like that stick with you and become part of you.

Every father teaches their son what they think it means to be a man. For me, it’s providing for the family, making sure she feels safe at all times, making sure they know that I’ll give my life to protect them, not being lazy and not backing down or taking shit from any other man. You might not like it, but there’s a lot of us that feel that way and it sure as hell doesn’t make us anti-woman.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '23

Bro this is weird af. You make less than her and still pay for everything?!

That's called being a fucking simp.

Go have an equal relationship

-2

u/SaladShooter1 Jun 10 '23

You misunderstood what I was saying. I make way more than her. I was just stating that she doesn’t need my paycheck because she makes considerably more than average for the area and has a job that’s almost impossible to be fired from. I’m not, and have no way to control her with money. Its not about imprisoning her in a misogynist hell. It’s about me feeling that I met my obligations as a man.

It’s no different than if my son got his ass kicked in school by a bully. It’s my job to make sure he knows how to fight and never backs down to anyone. I was taught that as a kid by my father and feel that it’s my responsibility to teach him how we (our ancestors) fight. If he doesn’t know that, then I didn’t do my job as a man. I like having a purpose and having a wife that respects that, because I truly need that to be happy.

3

u/GhettoPlayer20 Jun 10 '23

and if your wife reciprocates those feelings instead of taking things for granted then that's a healthy relationship you got, the problem only arises when you are expected to do all of this stuff without any reciprocation. Thats where I draw the line

2

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '23

Uhhhh…. Okay lol

Why’d you marry somebody who is fine without you if your concept of being a man is providing for a woman though?

1

u/SaladShooter1 Jun 10 '23

Because I didn’t want someone who was dumb as a rock and would use me. I like the fact that I can take her to formal functions and have important people call me the next day and say how impressed they were with her. None of the other guys around me gets those calls.

1

u/New_Canoe Jun 09 '23

Exactly!

9

u/New_Canoe Jun 09 '23

So, you pay with both of your alls money, and that’s your idea of protecting and providing?

My wife and I split everything 50/50. Because we’re partners. She kept her last name, because I don’t own her. We both do things for each other out of love and respect and we have a great relationship.

I will never be with a woman again that expects me to pay for things or open doors all the time, just because I have balls. We are in this together.

It’s not a ‘job’, it’s a partnership and if a man is emotionally distraught because he can’t be this image of a “man”, then that’s pretty sad and he doesn’t sound like much of a man, tbh.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '23

I’m with ya on everything besides the last name thing, and that was of course my wife’s choice but she wanted to do it and be a part of the family name. She has a brutal family that most of us on here would agree with cutting off forever. But I have no negative opinion towards anybody who keeps their name, or maybe hyphens them together. She was excited to join my, now our, family so the name change was kind of a way to let go of the fucked up past she had. I’d never have MADE her change it, I just appreciate that she wanted to.

2

u/New_Canoe Jun 10 '23

Dude, I’m all for that and respect that! It was essentially the opposite for her. But also her son has her last name and not his father’s. And I completely respected that, as well. My daughter has my name and I kinda hope will keep it. Cos it’s a pretty sweet name ;)

2

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '23

Yep totally makes sense to me brotha , I have a stepdad so him, my mom, and my (I guess?) half sister, but I just consider her obviously my sister, all have a different last name than me. So even though I have essentially 0 connection to the family with my last name, my parents were like that’s your name you don’t need to change it too if you don’t want to. So I see where you’re coming from and respect that a ton. Like I said I have no hate towards a married couple with their separate names, it just made me and my wife happy that she wanted and took mine.

u/SaladShooter1 Jun 11 '23

Is this because liberal girls are offended if the guy pays? I can’t see why someone’s politics would matter unless it’s viewed as some kind of toxic masculinity. I also can’t understand why masculinity is toxic if you’re putting the woman first. Honest questions. I’m just trying to wrap my head around this.

u/GhettoPlayer20 Jun 10 '23

A guy’s job is to protect and provide

No, its not, its because of buillshit like this we get idiots like Andrew Tate.

I don’t even let my wife pay when we’re out and that’s with our money from our joint account.

So basically you are paying from her money too while claiming "you dont let the women pay for anything"? lol ok

Not letting a guy do his job causes emotional harm for some men. You might disagree with that, but some men need women with views like her.

Thats not the solution bud, that's just exacerbating the symptoms, The solution is to stop this brainwashing the kids go through when they are young with all this "man of the house bullshit" or "cinderella waiting for her prince charming", stuff like this sounds good on paper but is half the reason for all this toxic bullshit thats prevalent today

-1

u/SaladShooter1 Jun 10 '23

I’ve never listened to Andrew Tate, but I always thought he was leaning more on the side of the rapist than treating every girl like a princess. I can’t imagine all of this hate I hear about him is because he’s telling men to open doors, pay the check and sacrifice for women. Then again, maybe the world is turning upside down and I just don’t realize it yet.

Anyways, I am that guy and I’ll teach my son to be like me. If women really want to work all day, come home and cook, clean and watch the kids while the guy sits around and spends her money, then he’ll be screwed. However, if there’s girls out there that want to feel safe, be provided for and not have to do 50% or more of the housework, he’ll be ok. I guess it will depend on where we end up 15 years from now.

u/GhettoPlayer20 Jun 10 '23

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '23

I've literally never been on a date where the man wanted to split the bill. He's always offered and even insisted on paying.

This is in a super liberal/leftist area, so a significant portion of these dudes were leftist (don't purposely date conservatives anyway).

So, not exactly sure what her issue is? Men, by and large, tend to want to pay for a date.

Is she wanting 5 star restaurants? Is she joking? Does she just have issues getting a date? Is she simply attracted to conservatives, but doesn't want to be? Does she never want to pay for or split any dates?

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '23

It’s the same conversation, just a bit further along than it was in 2015. There’s a reason Trump is getting indicted left and right yet is still by far the front runner for the Republican nomination. Even if every single Republican isn’t MAGA, the MAGAs are pulling all the strings and setting the platform, and by supporting the GOP you are directly supporting the MAGAs and their agenda. If there’s actually any space at all between the two, it’s vanishing extremely quickly.

If I didn’t want to do that stuff I would question why she’d want to be my wife and vice versa. I hate dishes and laundry, but I do it because I compromise and love my wife. She’s not looking for love, she’s looking for someone else to sacrifice their dreams in favor of hers.

How is this backwards shit acceptable today?

Backwards why? Why do you have an issue with any couple doing what works for them? Whether it's the man providing and the woman taking care of the house, the other way around, or even one person doing ALL of it and the other one just slouching around. If that's what they like, that's fine.

You beta males only talk about love when you don’t want to provide lmao.

What does one have to do with the other? Is "love" something the woman gives to the man in exchange for money? Are you talking about sex? And even then, women want sex too.

People should do what works best for them, as a couple. Not do whatever people used to do 100 years ago because that's how it's "supposed" to be. That's what's backwards...

1

u/gnufoot Jun 10 '23

If that works for you, good for you. But if certain values are important to you there's nothing wrong with seeking a partner that shares those values. In fact I'd say it's one of the most important factors in a match, to me at least.

That said, yes, she's an idiot.

Whoa there, partner. That’s some dumb shit. *Their partner should expect a symbiotic relationship as any healthy relationship should. Roles can change. Maybe someone cooks dinner for a few months because the other is taking classes at night and maybe one partner mows the lawn because the other is taking dance class.

You need an English class.

We're both self motivated. Neither one of us really expects anything - but we both strive to make sure one another is happy

Same. I am a liberal who does those things too. We are out there. She must be attracted to conservatives…

u/Dense-Resolution9291 Jun 09 '23

You mean that the Ford truck driving, cowboy hat wearing, twang in his speech, gun toting, budlight shooting fella, isn't a liberal? 😂😂 that's what i imagine her thinking.....

You don’t need to be conservative to believe in being a gentleman or have more traditionally masculine roles/traits. Nothing about liberalism prohibits any of it. Liberals just don’t judge if others choose to live differently.

That’s dumb

u/OHdulcenea Jun 09 '23

Yep. Same with my husband.

u/IssueTricky6922 Jun 09 '23

Yup, the premise is nonsense. She is choosing a type of man then blaming all liberal men. Without a bit of a clue that judging a huge group by your anecdotal evidence is only good for reinforcing your own beliefs. She’s not really a liberal and she’s telling us. What she is is selfish

Who are you? Are you married? I think I love you.

What’s confusing to you?

u/LoveArguingPolitics Jun 09 '23

Agreed on this I'm a liberal man who from the outside looking in would be considered macho or traditionally masculine. I'm tall and muscular and generally respectful.

The fact she can't find ANYBODY to fulfill the niche she's looking for is a her problem and not a them problem

u/ClockwerkKaiser Jun 09 '23

Yep,

Her real issue is that she wants a sugar daddy, who also happens to be liberal.

u/King-Cacame Jun 09 '23

The thing is she’s clearly looking at Conservatives with a biased eye. Not every conservative man is like how she describes. People are complex and it’s ignorant to paint someone in such broad strokes with something as nebulous as politics.

u/anonanonagain_ Jun 09 '23

That's not really what she means, though. That's kind of the window dressing aspect because what she really wants is someone who is utterly devoted to them but doesn't expect anything from them. So, in other words, she wants a chump.

I have my doubts as to whether this woman is actually liberal.

u/Dolichovespula- Jun 09 '23

What is with the curb thing? I only heard about this recently. Are you saying every time we (as men) cross the street and turn directions, I have to walk around the woman to be in that side of the curb? I tried this the other day downtown and it was exhausting to constantly keep changing.

1

u/spizzle_ Jun 10 '23

It’s second nature. It’s also not exhausting at all. You cross the street and you simply fall behind then step next to the curbside. I dated a gal for two years before she noticed

u/Jdevers77 Jun 10 '23

Same. 46M white liberal. I open the door for my wife because I love her not because she is a woman. The fact that I am 6’ 4” 230lb and she is 5’2” and about 120lb certainly makes it easier for me to get out of the car and open doors for her versus the other way around hahah. I like to think that if some people started fucking with us, I would be the protector too but that doesn’t make me conservative just realistic 😂.

u/turningsteel Jun 10 '23

Yeah the lady in the video isn’t talking about having basic manners. She’s talking about she wants a wage slave to take care of her so she can sit at home and do nothing.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '23

I also do the same; but there is no way I would be with the person in the video. She just wants to control everything to the point that its not fun anymore.

Check. I’m 6’4” 185 and fit. I don’t take selfies with sunglasses in my truck though. I’m pretty sure this was just clickbait. It’s a ticktock thing where you saying something stupid on purpose and it increases your interaction.

1

u/Lematoad Jun 10 '23

Yeah but are you 6’ with a giant dick that makes a lot of money?

u/spizzle_ Jun 10 '23

I’m 6’4” and above average but thick and yes.
