Walking ahead

He walks ahead if the lady and he:

- enter a Restaurant or pub.

- cross a crowd.

- pass a line of seats, where people have already been sitting down. Both look towards those, who do already sit (religious places can require a different direction). In theatres he takes the left seat. If necessary he let’s her pass him by at the end.

- walk downstairs (he lets her walk ahead upstairs!) - the rule is older than the mini …

- leave a train etc.

She should take care of giving him the opportunity to walk a head!

On the sidewalk he walks next to the road! She has the privilege of walking on the safer side (like children should!).

Two or more gentleman always take the lady or ladies into the middle!

Among men, uniformed ones have the same privileges as ladies - independent of the age - the rank counts.

Heckers Special Hint

For dogs on the leash it’s normally also a pleasure to walk ahead, if they have a female human companion. - Men unfortunately got the leash better under control in the most cases ...
