I always open/hold the door for my wife and for any other female that may be going in the same building.
I always allow the ladies to enter/exit the elevator first, and hold the door if I see one may be going up and is rushing towards the elevator.
I stand up for the person who is right, whether my family or friends.
Now let's talk about girls.
Most of the desi girls do not bother to say thank you like the American ladies would thank you when you open/hold the door for them or let them enter/exit the elevator. It's very rare that they will even give a non-angry look when you do that for them, forget any smile or thank you. Sometimes I would see a desi girl staring at me (in a non-flirting way) and I would give a smile to be polite, she would just keep staring jaisay meney maan behan ki gaali dey dee ho. I don't remember too many girls that gave me a polite smile in return when I smiled at them.
OMFG. this has happened to me a few times! i just gave up with desis in general. i remember a few times i was walking through the tunnel from the station to uni was minding my own business and yeah i just looked at a person because therer were people walking both ways, it wasnt as if i was like checking her out i just made eye contact with here and instead of looking like a half wit and pretend i didnt look at her i just smiled and then they give you awkward looks, like grow up you backward spastics.
