Gentleman Etiquette -- Ladies First

When men and women walk together, men and women should walk side by side, that is, men should walk on the left side of women, because men have the obligation to protect women.

Only men walking on the left can avoid running pedestrians on the road or frightened horses who hurt their peers.

Nowadays, cars have taken the place of horse drawn carriages, but men are still walking on the left side of women.

There are three reasons: first, to protect women from car collisions, that is, traditional male obligations; two, to prevent the splashing of cars from smudge women's dresses, and three to prevent women's bags from being robbed, which is the latest reason.

Because in Europe and the United States, the wind of robbing a bag is better than pick pocketing. Young pickpockets often fly past motorcycles. Just a moment after a woman walking near the roadside, she grabs the lady's satchel and grabs a smile.

Such a robbing bag makes women laugh and cry.

Therefore, men have new reasons to walk on the left side of women.

However, if women go to the streets alone, they must not hang their bags on the shoulder of the road.

However, Europeans and Americans also said that men should walk on the right side of women only from protecting women's satchel, because robbers always hide in the porch or alleys on the right side of the road.

In the eyes of women, no matter whether they are male left female right or female left male right, when the opposite sex is walking together, they will be steadfast, not afraid, and can be taken care of and considerate.

In the west, men seldom allow women to walk with their arms or hand up their waist during the day.

Men must not take a woman's arm or arm to pull her. Only when he helps a woman get on a car or a steep step, can she hold her elbow. In order to cross a crowded crowd, a man can pull a woman's hand and open the way for her.

In order to show respect and modesty, women always follow the principle of "female soil priority" in the western countries.

Failure to comply with this principle will be seen as a rude and ill bred person.

Courtesy and courtesy to women is a proud tradition of Westerners.

In case of a spring door, the man should go ahead and hold the door handle and ask the woman to get in and out. If a revolving door is touched, the man should ask the woman to go first when the door is rotating. When the door rotates, the man should go in and out first, so as to control the rotation speed, and then ask the lady to get in and out.

The elevator is up and down. Men should let the ladies go first.

When there are many elevators, men should first take the lead.

When walking up stairs, men should let women walk in front. When they are down stairs, men should allow women to walk behind, so as to prevent accidents such as falls and wrestling.

If a lady needs help, a man should take the initiative to help him or help him.

On social occasions, when a woman enters a room, a man should stand up.

Walking and riding in the west, the streets of Malone, running cars more than walking pedestrians.

Therefore, when pedestrians walk along the crosswalk, if they meet with a vehicle, the driver often stops to let pedestrians pass first.

If pedestrians see the car coming and going to stop, the driver will make a gesture to move on, and let pedestrians cross the road first.

But pedestrians should not be allowed to walk freely because of the car. They must cross the road from the crosswalk, and do not cross the road in the middle of the block.

When crossing a street, wait for the green light to cross the crosswalk. Avoid crossing the road when the traffic lights are red.

If you go halfway to a red light, move quickly and never stop or return.

Don't rush across the road from behind the parked car.

Due to the relatively large number of passengers at work, young people should take the initiative to give up their seats to the elderly.

It is polite and moral to give up seats for the elderly, pregnant women, children and disabled people.

In Germany, buses are all "dedicated seats", without young people's share.

However, this is not to say that young people can not even seat their vacant seats.

When no elderly people are found beside them, young people can sit on the vacant seat, but when they find old people next to them, they should immediately get up and give seats to the elderly.

In Europe and America, because drivers are often the owners themselves, westerners consider the seats beside the driver as seats.

When the host asks the guests to get on the bus, especially the private cars, they usually allow the guests to sit beside the driver's seat, so that the guests can enjoy the scenery more clearly.

But in Asia, the habit is just the opposite. Because the owner is often not a driver, the rear seat of the car is regarded as the upper seat. When the host asks the guest to get on the bus, he always sits in the back seat of the car with his host, while others sit beside the driver.
