In the meantime: (1) be direct; (2) remember that, being smarter than men, women respond to courtesy and kindness; (3) if you want to know what kind of a wife someone will make, observe her around her father and mother; (4) as to who gets out of the elevator first, I just can't help you.

About This Quote

One of the best things I have learned in life is that men and women are different. Men are not going to listen to being told what to do, unless they get asked nicely. Women are also stronger than men, but often act like they are weaker. This quote is about how you must respect what you are told by both men and women.

It is important to be direct, especially when you want something from someone. When speaking to women it is not necessary to ask them if they will get out of the elevator first. If she is willing to get out of the elevator first, then she will understand your request.
