I'm a girl, and I open doors for people (women and men). I've gotten less 'thanks' responces or smiles from women, and it makes me want to kick them. I'm a woman too, but I'm holding the damn door for you!
I've dated guys that always liked to hold doors for me, but it's something I'm not used to. Growing up with 3 brothers it's whoever can get through the door first. Since I was the smallest I ran ahead and squeezed in otherwise I'd get squished between them. The first time a guy held a chair out for me at a restruant I had to stop and say "Are you holding that for me? Or are you looking around before you sit down?" To say the least yea, it's nice when guys hold doors open, pull out chairs ect. But I'm a big girl, and I'm not afraid to break a nail.
