Thinking back since the day I got my license the day after my 16th birthday....girls and ladies, always held the door and afterwards walked them to their door. Boys and men, never held a door open, after hanging out they just got out of the car on their own, later dude, see you.

Not saying it was right, but thinking back, it was what it was.
