I started college at University of Texas in Aug 1969. My first date was on a double date with my dorm roommate. We walked to the girls dorm where I met my date. We walked to a nearby resturant where I opened the door for her to enter. She scowled and cursed at me for opening the door for her then she just walked off. End of date. This has been going on for quite a while.
You were lucky in that you didn’t waste any money or time on a worthless date. Glad I am not in college now and have to deal with this pc nonsense.
I graduated from Oklahoma State University in 1969 and the coeds there did not act the way you described. Of course, UT has always been known as a Berkeley East.
Any man who holds a door for me gets a warm smile and a hearty thank you!
My oldest son started college in Iowa in the last half of the 90s.
He called me one evening to say, thanks dad. I asked what for and he said for always teaching me to be polite, hold doors for women and in general be a gentleman. I said, okay, what’s the back story.
He said in his first week on campus he was acting just like that and he was having girls ask his room number because although they had a steady guy they wanted to bring their young roommate by to meet him as there seemed to be a complete lack of decent guys with basic character and courtesy. He said that after about the fifth time something similar to this happened he decided some of those youthful lessons merited acknowledgement.
I still laugh thinking of it over twenty years later.
I have never in my life been abused or scorned by a woman for whom I’ve held a door or performed a similar small courtesy.
You sure dodged a bullet there! Thank goodness you found out right away what a dud she was, before you spent any money on her.
