The Official "Ask A Brotha" Thread - Part 2

[Black Narcissus]

I didn't ask about baggage, but about who is more Hnnngh. I was just watching Coffey and goddamn. I gotta go with Pam. Hell, she still looks fine now.

Has anyone ever held a door open for you?

What's the best way to get you to turn your "music" down?

 

[terry78]

To not ask us to.

 

[chamber-music]

As Chris Tucker said in Rush Hour "Don't you ever touch a black man's radio"

I've had the door held open for me.

 

[Erzengel]

Has anyone ever held a door open for you?

Is this a courtesy thing?

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

Hahahaha! has anyone ever held the door open for me!!?! yeah all the time! even big ass Gorilla guys at the gym hold it open for me as i do for them( its too be nice!) funny but usually Women are the ones who who don't!
and for turning my music down( i usually dont get that! i usually get thatlook of "this guy is listening to ABBA!!?!
but on the few times that i have( they must not like Dancing Queen!) i told em i will turn mine down when you turn yours Down! i hate the Charlie Daniels band!

 

[craigdbfan]

Guys the majority of the time hold the door for both genders. A lot of women for some reason don't do that. It's kind of weird actually.

All the time.

What's the best way to get you to turn your "music" down?

By dancing like a moron to our music.

 

[Erzengel]

I do notice more blacks and jewish people never saying Thank You for things like holding doors open. Is that a Northeast thing or are people nicer down South?

 

[MadVillainy]

Everyone I hold the door open for they say thank you. No matter the age (well not kids), race, how they dress, etc.

And Im in the North east

Same for me, I always get a thank you when I hold the door open for someone. Although sometimes I don't get it when I hold the door open for women.

 

[terry78]

I never understood that with the chicks. Dudes always give you the head nod or a "thanks bro." Women I think are kinda predisposed to assuming whatever we do as a gesture is a precursor to wanting some ass. Lol, women are the masters of straight up ignoring you and not even feeling bad about it.

 

[Erzengel]

It's happened more than once and it might be just coincidental. And this extends to driving and letting someone cut in front of you etc.

And it's also women too.

I know I live in a rude state but I always say thank you and please or even a head nod whenever someone is courteous.

 

[MadVillainy]

Women always thank me


I mean Ive had people not holding the door open for me (again it's happned between all races, ages, etc.) but never someone who didn't thank me

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

I get Women of all races who don't thank me for holding the door for them! I always say thanks to whomever does that for me, cause they don't have to!
hell! just last week i had a blondie with a baby carrier on her arm who didnt thank me for holding the door for her to subway!!
I think most believe that as a male its "EXPECTED"...no wonder chivalry is dead!

 

[Black Narcissus]

I slapped a midget for not saying ''God Bless you'' when I sneezed.

Have you seen Ex Machina?

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Women are probably worried that if they say thank you it might be an invitation for creeps to hit on them.

I dunno, its the only somewhat logical excuse I can think of.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

But women I encounter usually say thank you.

 

[MadVillainy]

Maybe you guys just dont have the juice


On another note, I am going to apply to this ad agency because Im tired of my current job and I did study advertising. Anyway it was funny to me that they had "We are an equal opportunity employer: it made me chuckle because really imo if you have to say "Im not racist, homophobic, sexist, etc." then 9/10 you probably are.
But it was also funny to me when i looked at the company pictures and saw no persons of color. Forget even persons of color there werent even any overweight people. What overweight and people of color don't want to work in advertising

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

Have you seen how some bro's be staring down women, even when they are walking with a significant other? It can be a bit disrespectful/creepy for sure.

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

Bro's of any color for the record

 

[Manic]

Some people have a hard time differentiating common courtesy and flirting, and there's no shortage of mentally wacked-out dudes who think a smile/nod qualifies as a come-on. I think if a woman runs into enough of those guys, she learns to go through life on autopilot. Suddenly saying "thank you" to an open door is a risk.

Bad men screw up women for other men all the time. It's a vicious cycle.

 

[Warhammer]

This is why you just have to be a dick. That way, even the girl who is flirting with you won't get s*** twisted.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Chivalry is like any courtesy. When people appreciate i, it makes all the antogonism worth it. You can'l let others drag you down to their level. Then again, I usually get thank you's from most people. If I didn't my blood would run cold eventually.
