Wait, He Actually Made 8 Rules for Men Treating Women? Let’s Dive In!

Chase’s rule? When she vents, she’s trusting you. So you better care big time. But some folks feel like taking her problems personally could turn into way too much codependency. The sweet spot? Listen, be genuinely interested, but don’t try to solve everything or carry the whole load. Just being there counts!

Chase says if you’re hanging with her squad, greet them with the same hype you give her. It’s like saying, “Your people are my people.” Pretty solid move. Experts say this goes a long way but remind us not to sweat being BFFs with everyone - it’s about effort, not friendship bracelets.

Rule numero ocho: When you plan a date, just say what’s up instead of asking all day. Tired of being the planner? Yep, she probably is too. But heads up - it’s cool to lead without bossing. A quick “I booked XYZ. Thoughts?” keeps things chill and shows you care about her preferences. Win-win.

First up: Open the door. Apartment, car, you name it. Chase’s take is straightforward - open it for her, no excuses. Some folks cheer this as basic respect, others say hey, hold up - women can open doors too! The expert's tip? It’s about paying attention to what they like, not just ticking a gender box. So ask, don’t assume.

Chase says always be between her and the street when walking together. It's the classic protective dude move. Many liked it, but some pointed out practical stuff - what if her purse’s on the street side and you’re actually making it easier to snatch? Others just think it’s a bit old-fashioned and not always helpful. Moral: rules can have exceptions!

Rule six: If she’s got stuff, offer to carry it. Doesn’t matter if it’s a tiny purse or big shoes. The catch? If she says no thanks, cool, you’ve done your part by asking. Experts say this thinking works best when it’s about the person, not just assuming “women need help.” And hey, some folks might call this princess treatment - depends on the vibe!

Rule seven is all about the jacket. Chase says bring one wherever you go. Rain or shine, winter or sauna, you’re holding that jacket for her in case she gets cold. It’s old-school sweet, and lots of people loved the vibe. Some even want more rules like holding hands on stairs or letting her walk first. The takeaway? Thoughtfulness is timeless, even if it’s a bit old-fashioned.

Rule four isn’t shy: always pay for the first meal. Chase throws down that no matter how much she offers, you foot the bill. Some people think it’s sweet, others say it’s old-fashioned and ignores her offer to help pay. The expert points out that paying can mean lots of things - care, generosity, tradition - and it’s cool to have preferences, but don’t make it a one-size-fits-all law. Plus, why are you paying? Because you want to, not because you have to. The key? Make sure both people feel good about it.
