I agree, I wouldn't expect a man to stand up when I arrived at the table, especially if they were, er, on the mature side. Poor old chap, just got himself settled and comfortable then having to be up and down like a yo-yo, when various females arrive at the table.

Thank goodness for that because every time I stand up for a lady approaching the table I always seem to give myself a wedgie ... and then you are subtly trying to extract the undergarments from those intimate little places at the table ... not a pretty picture

Thanks for sharing that Ken - now next time on a cruise I am going to be watching all the men adjusting their pants

I dont like it when women (sometimes) accuse me of being patronising when I open a door for a lady, or give up my seat for them. My Mum used to say "Manners maketh man", and I try to stick to it.

I worked for some fantastic lady bosses at the University, and I dont like to hear that my admiration for them or my consideration is "patronising". I dont feel patronising.

The first time I encountered someone not wanting to 'patronise' me was when I returned to college as a mature student my tutor older than me asked if I minded him opening the door for me. I was shocked of course I didn't he was being polite. He explained that many of the younger women had told him off for patronising them.
Like Jay I blame women's lib.

My project managers were usually female .. as I said to my big boss "I don't consider myself a leader of men, more a follower of women"

I always hold a door open for anyone behind me expecting them to hold the door for the person behind them but there are a lot of people that will push past you without a word. I have also stood up on the bus for someone less able than me and have had someone more able than me try to sit down.
