  Interesting, I am a moron I guess...either that or I value my wife's safety more than my own.

  Your wife is not more safe because she's on the other side of you in relation to the road. What if a mugger comes up from the side she's on? Oh my!
  
  You aren't a moron for walking closer to the street than your wife. You'd be a moron if you did so because you thought it made her any more safe.

  I hold the door open for women, will pull their chair out, etc but that sort of thing is dumb and almost insulting to the woman. Plus a car veering off the road onto the sidewalk is one of the things I'm least worried about in life. Probably should walk 100ft away from your wife and hold a metal rod up in the air to draw the lightning towards yourself at all times if you're going to be worried about shit like that.

  lol'd.

  Ever heard of "its the thought that counts"? That is true in most cases of chivalry and etiquette.
  
  You don't open the door for a date because you think she will really have a problem opening that door, you do so because it is polite and proper "etiquette".

  Man I wish people actually had to take etiquette classes in high school, or at least had parents that taught them.
