Another old diddy I thought to enter in the Invisible contest. This an actual study in human nature I observed and deployed. More doors were opened on days I wore skirts. I have actually had a "gentleman" step on my toes to let "ladies" go first onto an elevator for which I had been the first to arrive and press the button. My buttons were pressed!

So enraged by "gentlemen" displaying courtesy to ladies
while ardently blind stepping me for weeks I schemingly 
wore my C-cups strapped into my most potent padded
push-up busting through the seams of a too tight red
trimmed baby pink fuchsia glitter Barbie TM T-shirt
I am girl we roared and doors opened.

How funny, but I'm sure it's true. So many men are like this, but I know there's still a few true gentlemen out there (okay, maybe they're few and far between but they're out there...lol). I enjoyed your poem, Maureen. Thanks for sharing and thanks for stopping by my page tonight...hugs, Rhonda

There are! I distinctly remember another similar scenario, I was 1st waiting for elevater, four "suits" joined me, the senior gentleman with a smile to me, put his arm up to block junior from boarding the elevator ahead of me; (jr sank with embarassment) we got on on the 4th, I got off on the clouds!

Funny, I open the door for everyone, but some women complain saying they don't need a man to open it for them, I wrote a poem chivalry is not dead maybe you would like it, page 2 on my page.

Maureen, there is nothing wrong with being a gentleman, in fact I think we need to keep those antiquated values. It's called RESPECT! Sorry if you take offense.

I think you misread my in intent, literally stepping on me showed me I wasn't lady enough to be deserving of respect. Classism. I always open doors for people, regardless of gender or dress.
