Western women: myth or not? Since I was child I heard many strange myth about american and european women. Main thing: rules about how to behave yourself: don't open door for her, don't give your seat in bus, don't pay for her in restaurant, don't behave yourself like she's weaker than you, otherwise it will looks like offence or something really bad. I still don't know the answer: is that truth?

Artem, if only I could answer this question for you! Some women are as you described, while others are not. And they often change their minds about how they want to be treated. I must say, then, an answer to your question is not really possible - it depends upon the situation. Did I confuse you? If so, you're like the rest of us men.

not true. The general rule is be helpful and considerate. If you walk up to a door, open it for her, just like you would open it for any friend. But if she gets there first.... its okay! With money, that all depends. Most women, if you date for a while, prefer to pay sometimes, while you pay other times. It's best not to really count. If she has very little money, maybe you pay. If she insists on paying her share, she can pay. But, I prefer one person pays, sometimes me, sometimes her... As for a seat on the bus, nobody is offended if you offer a seat. They may refuse, but its okay to offer. Now, for older women, always be polite and help them, they appreciate it.
