How do feel about gals asking guys to move heavy objects?
-
LOL was talking to a friend of mine other day and she telling me women in the office were moving desks around.
Her remark to them was "why are you girls not getting the guys to do that?"
So is it alright for girls to do this.... take advantage of a guy case she can by playing "i am so weak and need a big strong man" line?
Also would you guys feel comfortable letting them do this and just watching the antics without offering to help until asked

gender equality..girls have their pride ma..they dun wana be nansy pansy
-
dont have this problem among my friends
ladies also open doors for guys, guys open doors for ladies
guys talk about sex and football, girls also talk about sex and football
girls talk about lingerie and hunks, guys also talk about lingerie and hunks
sometimes, i cant distinguish who is who -
male generally stronger ....... so no harm helping ......
but i hate it when gals take such things for granted
-
Only when the tings r too big to carry myself, will ask d man to help. not askin them to do this n that while i'm idling around lah..
-
From my experience, most men volunteer to help when they see a girl trying to move heavy stuff but at the same time, the girl should not take it for granted and idle around letting the guy do all the work
-
Hahahaha well it is funny to watch guys coming to help a girl who's pretty whether she needs help or not.
Hmmm are all guys guilty of this
-
okay.. i'm an easy mark..
'nuff said -
i dun mind i ownself do
most of the time i do.....
but then the guys always want to offer to help mah......
since they so nice then i oso dun reject loh -
they should do it themselves if they can.

-grumble- yaloh. I remember going to a hostel in UK with 4 floors no lift... and blardy hell.. the guys all queue up volunteer to take luggage up for the chio girls.. and poor me lug it up meself... sigh always like this one... -sniff-Originally posted by Kan_i:Hahahaha well it is funny to watch guys coming to help a girl who's pretty whether she needs help or not.

Anyway, I go trekking with a mixed group sometimes. While the load for the guys is often slightly heavier than the girls (average for guys - 17-18 kg, girls would be 15-16kg sometimes 13-14 depending on bodyweight), it generally evens out.
It is funny though cos at the beginning of the course, you have to KEEP REMINDING the guys NOT to overload themselves (cos if you are strong, you really should standby for emergencies) and for the girls NOT to take it for granted that all heavy work shd be done by the guys, cos when the strongest one falls, all the weaker ones have to split the load - which is even WORSE. There was actually one time when one of the strongest guys had heat exhaustion and 1 guy 2 girls need to split his load - then they realised HOW MUCH MORE he's been carrying cos they just took it for granted.
Anyway.. it is sweet though, if a guy offers to carry my supermarket basket for me. It only EVER happened once (before my hubby laaa) so sweet -
not me, i usually try my best to ignore a girl if she's pretty since if she's pretty some guy would help her if he noticed, no need for me to dirty my hands unless no one else is aroundOriginally posted by Kan_i:Hahahaha well it is funny to watch guys coming to help a girl who's pretty whether she needs help or not.

given a choice i would usually reject a girl if her reason for me helping her is "guys should be gentlemen"
FXXK YOU to that, i'll be a gentleman if you're a lady, and IMHO the moment you open your mouth with that kind of request is proof enough you're not a lady no point for me to help someone who probably won't feel grateful anyway
based on personal experience , i dislike helping girls with "free labor" -
i won't help unless the girl really needs the help. and also i think the girl should be idling or enjoying herself while the guy helps her. go do other stuff or something

LOL when my cousin went to USA to study she told me she saw this pretty blonde girl (the typical cheerleader type you see in movies) walk in and dumped a huge mountain of luggage (cousin figured it's half her house along with her) outside the building and all she did was stand there looking pretty and asked, "Who can help me with my luaggage" and she said suddenly out of no way a bunch of guys just appeared and carried everything for her
