But I'll still do it again next time. It's just the right thing to do, IMHO.

That pretty much says it. I'll always hold doors open for women--like you, it was the way I was brought up. It is nice to be thanked for it, and if they expect me to do it (which I actually havent ever run into, I guess most girls are so used to the complete and total flaming, burning death of chivalry), then I would probably be a little angry. I don't think it would make me less likely to hold the door for the next girl to come around, but I would definitely be a little incensed.
