Is this a age difference occurence?

men just dont have any standards any more
when me and the missus walk down the sidewalk, i walk on the street side
when we go out to dinner, i face the door
when we go somewhere, i drive her there
when we pass through a door, i open it for her (ok, that one may be partly to check out her tailend)

Same here. I never think to face the door when we go out to eat but now that I think about it I subconsciously sit that way most of the time!

Since the military, I've always needed to face the door, usually have my back toward a wall. Wife knows so she usually sits down first. Never thought watching for a situation so I could help her!! Maybe I'll use that next time, lol.
