OT: Is it sexist for a man to offer a lady his seat /chair

[Freddie.B.Cocky]

if there are no other seats/chairs available in a given setting?

I would like to see a lot of our lady posters respond.

This was a topic of discuss on the Michael Strahan and (whoever his co-host is) show the other day. I didn't get to hear all the comments but was just wondering in this world of extreme PC we live in today what is considered good manners? I want to say Strahan said he wouldn't offer his seat to a younger woman but again I didn't get to listen to the comments.

I have always offer my seat / chair to a woman when there are no other seats available, just because it was considered good manners and that was the way I was taught many many years ago.

But is it considered sexiest TODAY for a man to offer his seat/chair to a woman?

EDIT: Yes, I misspelled sexist and have since corrected the misspelling. If I don't get a red line I just go with whatever I typed. LOL!

It's never bad to be kind to a fellow human being.

Oops, unless they're a fan of the Orange team.

I like that. It makes good sense.

 

[ClemDent]

Whelp, if it’s considered sexiest then I guess I am. I chalk it up to just being polite and considerate.

You are a nice person period.

 

[ReadR00ster]

only if it's her turn.

 

[traildust55]

Would you offer your seat to a same sex individual that you outweigh by 20 or more pounds to be nice?

 

[fowl_mood]

I offer it to the oldest person.

 

[DrMickey]

Nope. But offer, don’t insist, or it gets weird and pushy.

 

[jimnasium]

It's not in the south but some of them yankee's will insult you....lol

 

[vacock#]

At my age, knees and back, she better need the seat because of a disability.

Yes, it is sexist because you are doing it because she is a woman. But so what? They are the weaker sex, right?

(Ducking)

If a male has medical issues then of course not.

 

[Blackland]

Let them stand. They want to be equal, right? Standing will help them burn fat so they look hotter and you can hit on them...

 

[cockthehammer#]

If there are 2 or more, you say, “Hey...would one of you broads like this seat”??

 

[Johnnie Cockran]

I’m a millennial, and I still believe in offering your seat to a woman. The problem with my generation is that this act of chivalry will probably get you reprimanded or worse. Whatever, I still do it.

Fun post Freddie, but no one is answering it. You did not ask was it sexist. You asked if it was sexiest. (Pre editing if any). It's definitely "sexiest" to offer your seat to a woman or someone needy because women that actually like men will be impressed by that act.

 

[rogue cock]

Whether or not it is sexy or considered sexist, it is gentlemanly. A gentleman should always offer his seat to a lady, child, someone elderly, or someone with a disability. It is simply being considerate of others.

 

[lawcalcock]

In this day of political correctness, you're liable to get sued for offering a lady your seat. But I do it anyway!

 

[USCBatgirl21]

From a lady's perspective, it is still quite acceptable, and welcome, for a gentleman to offer his seat to a lady, if there are no other seats available. A gentleman offered me his seat at Firestone recently in an otherwise packed lobby. The Firestone employee was in the process of getting me his desk chair to sit in. The gentlemen allowed me the more comfortable chair, and sat in the desk chair. I appreciated the act of chivalry, and am teaching Jones to do the same for ladies.

Good Question ...
I Always give my chair to the lady or the elderly.. Also don't let any lady pump gas if you are around especially the elderly. Always open doors and pull out chairs.. From what I've been told, it's an endearing quality.... And it also feels good to do those things for people... jmo.

 

[JeffTweedyFan]

It's nice/mannerly. Same for opening a door for a woman or waiting for a woman to get on an elevator. I usually mouth under my breath if a guy doesn't do those things but I don't consider it sexist if they do. These days most people are too involved in their phones to see other people around them.

My 14 year old won't let me pump my gas if he's with me. He also opens doors for others (not just ladies) and pulls out chairs. He also takes his hat off inside, especially at the table. It gets on my last nerve when I see men at a table with a hat on.

Sorry, we forgot to wash/comb it or it's falling out!

I will always offer my chair to women and those older than me.

 

[Palmetto Golf]

I really do not care what they think. I was taught to be polite to ladies, children and the elderly at all cost. If I do not act that way and if I ever see my Mother again, on the other side, she will kick my butt!

I pumped gas for an elderly lady yesterday and she looked up at me and said your mother must be really proud of you, tell her she did a good job raising you... It was sweet of her to say.. It sounds like your son is a solid young man.. It's refreshing to know that some still teach these values. Gives me hope.

Perfect.....your 14-year old is going to be very successful in life. Thank you for your teachings.

My 102 year old grandmother will still call a man out if he's wearing a hat at the table.

 

[atl-cock]

Chivalry, IMO, has to involve one's attitude when offering a chair, opening a door, etc.. It's also beholden of the female millennial to politely decline such an offer if she does not want to avail herself of it.

That's something I don't do that I should do is take my hat off at the table. Now for Sunday dinner I don't have a hat on but during the week I do.

No more "little man?"

My mom would do likewise to me if I didn't use good manners.

Completely agree. The one common courtesy that I see most often violated by men is when they allow the lady to walk on the streetside.

 

[rogue cock]

Freddie, this was an excellent subject. To this day, I remember my dad teaching me these things and his grunt/cough to get my attention if I forgot one.

Yes, that's a Dead giveaway that they aren't thinking of there lady

As a little boy I had my hand called a couple of times by my mom when I forgot to use my manners.

I physically can’t let any female (typically my wife , daughter or Mom) walk on the streetside. It’s almost like a mental block. I have to switch places or it drives me crazy.
