Looking at the image another question immediately arises: Do non-AI generated women still exist?

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 71 points 6 days ago

It is vitally important that everyone learn AI skills so they can generate open doors for AI women

[–] KokusnussRitter@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 6 days ago (8 children)

That's AI?! What gives it away?

We had Photoshop even before we could somewhat convincingly generate full images of people.

Surely if you are near a door and someone wants to come through you open and hold it for them regardless of sex?

[–] SirActionSack@aussie.zone 15 points 6 days ago

I ONLY hold it if there's sex.

Gender is irrelevant.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If it's a man coming, I purposefully and with force, slam it shut and block it with my body.

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If you just stand there, waiting for another man to ~~cum~~ come , that makes you gay.

Thats what I do. Hilarious if just so many people pour into the building and im stuck there for 5 minutes until some other poor schmuck takes my place.

[–] Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 6 days ago

I just hold it long enough for them to not have to open it again, but I let it go once they are in range to hold it themselves.

Been my experience with random people for like a decade or more. The only people I've run into who seemed to care was this elderly couple in Alabama (I was visiting, live in GA) where the wife always waited for her husband to open doors, and my sister-in-law who has my brother open doors for her.

She also chastised me for not walking over to my mom's door and opening it for her when we were all eating out once, to my mother's confusion because she's used to opening her own doors.

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I used to work in a brew pub. I had a woman once criticize me for not going out of my way to get the door for her. I was behind the bar, so that would have required me walking like 20' away and then 30' back to front to get to her.

She let herself in then called me out for not opening the door for her. I responded with "I needed to make sure you werent a vampire, since they can't enter uninvited!"

She grimaced and one of the regulars chimed in "youre wrong, shes definitely a harpy, not a vampire!"

And she stormed out.

On Lemmy, men only use doors. Anything but windows, right gang?

Man here. I haven't opened a door since 2005. When my wife isn't with me I just stand outside trying to hide my tears until a woman comes along to let me in.

Also yes, men do. Like me personally, I will hold open doors for other men even. And I’ve had doors opened for me too. These tradwife women high-key rude as fuck for never opening doors for people.

I just bust through doors like homer in the Japan episode.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 14 points 6 days ago

I just bust through walls like Kool Aid man.

I personally vibrate on a molecular level and phase through them myself.

I don't open doors. I learned to phase-shift long ago so now I just go through doors when I need to.

r/KenM was such a solid subreddit back in the day. Top tier comedy. Now it’s just fake profiles and bots that use the name for clicks.

As a man, I can confirm I just phase through the door.

If men wouldn't open doors a slowly increasing number of them would be stuck in rooms.

One time, I arrived at a small store as an employee was finishing their smoke break, exchanged friendly words as we both went towards the door. In that moment, I realized that if I open the door, it'll be right in his way and I paused, unsure about how to handle it. He ended up opening it for me, but the whole thing felt awkward as fuck, like my pause was because I was waiting for him to open it for me. Easily the worst door opening experience I've ever had. I'm a dude btw.

I hold open to the door for everyone when it's convenient!

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 19 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I do so only when it is inconvenient, while maintaining eye contact and looking like I'm in a hurry, and the approaching person could hurry it up a bit.

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Whenever I do this I say out loud, “Don’t you hate it when someone holds the door but you’re a bit further behind than they anticipated and now you feel like you have to hurry?” 😁

No, of course not. We just check for potential witnesses before assuming our natural amorphous form so we can slither under them.

I was born on the east coast of Canada. Everyone gets the door held for them, sometimes even when they're on the other side of the parking lot.

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago

Judging whether a person is sufficiently distant for it to be acceptable not to hold the door is a classic Eastern Canadian trial.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

i usually either opt for going through windows, or wait for a woman or an enby to open a door and then run at them aggressively before they close it

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Must be ugly men who can’t even get a lady to open the door for them…

But for real, I’m a woman who opens the door for people who are approaching regardless of their gender and I wish for few things more than exclusively women who say things like this to have to deal with the men who get all pissy at a woman holding the door for them

Only once. Then I leave them open forevermore. Then I don't have to degrade myself with the process again.

Unless they have a signed JUDICIAL warrant with your name and address on it, that door remains shut.

Is it an autism thing that I kind of get annoyed when people hold doors for me? Like fuck, I was planning to open the door myself, now you just changed my plan.
