Love / English Men vs Polish Men [207]
Hey.
I'm an englishman, my name's Adam.
I want to officially say - it doesn't matter on your nationality because as we all know you get gits in every country. I doubt anyone can disagree with that lol.
That being said I must agree that, bar us few nice guys, most english guys aren't quite the gentlemen they should be. But in defense of MOST the western men: it's those few Feminists that were mentioned that have killed Chivalry. Yes this is true. Nearly all the guys I know won't hold a door for one of three reasons:
1: Yes they aren't very gentlemanly (these are the few gits)
2: They don't want to come off as too soppy. Because no matter what you say ladies very few women these days respond to a kind gesture first. Deny it if you wish, but you pick a guy who'll openly make fun of you than hold a door for you. It's been proven over and over again. (because you see it as confidence - which yes it is - but ignoring the guy who's trying to impress you and then complaining later doesn't wash with me I'm afraid :P)
and 3: They are frightened that they'll get their head blown off by some crazed feminist.
Now myself I have the philosophy - If you've got a problem that's what it is - YOUR problem. So I shall continue to hold a door and offer my seat and carry the bags, and if someone doesn't like it clearly they aren't the one for me.
But I do hate it being thrown back in my face all the same haha.
Just to clarify - that wasn't a dig at anyone in particular - that's just how it is.
Personally I love the fact that supposedly the majority of Polish women appreciate the Gentlemanly approach, it allows me to be myself without worry :).
