    An associate of mines just gave me some advice on how to tell if a woman you've just started to date is any good (or not). He says "Give her the door test". He says he saw this on TV.


    Guy says "When you go to pick her up in your car, get out and lock both doors. Walk her to the car and open the passenger door for her. Once shes seated, close the door behind her and walk around the back of the car to get into the drivers seat. When you are directly behind the car, look through the back windshield to see what she is doing. If she doesn't reach over to unlock the driver door for you by the time you get there, dump her because she's just proven that she's nothing more then a self centered conceited bitch that thinks of no one but herself."

    He claims that he saw this on a movie called "A Bronx Tale"

    Do you believe that this is good advice to follow? :unsure:

    I think it was a plot point in the movie 'Singles,' as well.

    No.

    Also, most cars these days have central locking.

    Doesn't work. Can't unlock only the passenger-side door on my car.

    Whoever the black girl is in A Bronx Tale is fucking hot. Anybody know who she is or if she's been in anything else?

    Edit: Nevermind, same girl from Belly. She reminds me of my daughter's mother back in the day before she put on the weight.

    There isn't even a key slot on the passenger side of our car... :shrug:

    Also, I don't think a date ever opened a car door for me, and I haven't dated since the very early 80s...

    Actually the movie Adam and Eve has a quite ingenius test for knowing when you need to shower.

    With one hand reach down and swipe your ballsack, with the other your ass. If your balls smell worse than your ass, it is time to shower.

    I use it before dates to find out if I need to wear cologne or not.

    Wouldn't work on my car. Only way to get in from the passenger side is to unlock all the doors.

    And also, I don't have any physical "locks" on the inside of my car. You can't just pull on a small object to unlock only your door.

    That's what the inside looks like.

    There's a good chance that it simply wouldn't occur to me to unlock the door, and i like to think i'm not a self centered conceited person. :unsure:

    So yeah, if the circumstances were right, this test might be something to look at.

    However, if she fails the door test, but passes the road head test, is there some sort of reprieve or possible do-over?

    This is a rather simplistic approach. Some people are more formal and would like to believe that traditional values might preclude them from opening or unlocking the door for a gentleman. Nevertheless, it's food for thought.
