Default How Many??
Being the old far# that I am, I was just wondering how many of you still open the door for your wife/girlfriend?

My wife really enjoys this little token after 14 years of marriage.
Am I alone here or what????

Just curious.

I will quite often, another good reason beside the obvious. It eliminates the chance of her scraping the door on the curb....

Only when she gets in. Getting out, she's on her own.

After 31 years, you would think I wouldn't even want to ride in the dang car with her, but not true. I still get the door open for her about half of the time and still hold hands when we walk.
No, not matching clothes, and no dumb @ss nick names.

Open and close the door often when getting in...

Did it for the first wife too but she got tired of it after 20 years and now some other dude does it for her... Oh well... She was too expensive to keep anyway...

I do most all the time. I can tell she likes the "special treatment." And trust me here guys, there are definitely "fringe benefits" because of it!
