Re: American Guys vs. Pakistani Guys
based on my own personal experience, not 10 or 20 times but a 100s of times i have had desi guys indifferently keep walking in such a scenario and non desi be it hispanic, white, black etc, open doors and wait in the elevator etc. so yes it is one of those personality traits that 'SOME' of our desi men lack. i think its not that they do not respect women, they surely do but as Iconoclast mentioned they might feel that this is unnecessary interaction with an unknown female.
when my american born kids went to pakiland for the first time, they were surprised to see how kids over there freely pushed and shoved other kids while playing. These kids grow up without learning these simple manners. why do u think ppl in pakistan never want to give way in traffic and get ahead of everyone by any means right or wrong.. dunno where the problem lies but yes these things don't come on their own, they need to be taught and practiced.
