Guys have you had this happen to you? A young woman gets to the door first but she holds it open for you. I'm old-fashioned and was raised to open the door for a woman. OK if she is there first she should go in first, but several times and I mean several times, I've had a woman hold the door open for me, even though I was 10 even 15 behind her. I don't like being treated like an old man. I am still capable of opening a door myself.
Don't sweat the small stuff. Pay it forward next time, if you can hobble to the door ahead of the next youngster.
The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.
Maybe she just wants to see your handsome smile of appreciation. And watch your bum as you go in front.
Yes, I have had a woman offer to hold the door for me. But I simply tell them that it isn't right and I was raised better than that and I take the door to allow them to go in first. Haven't had one yet refuse me!
Its a small act of kindness on someone's part when they hold the door for you. Thanks them and get on with the rest of your day.
I not only hold the door open for women but for anyone who not too far behind me. To me it's a simple courtesy. If anyone, including a young woman, held a door open for me I'd accept it as just that. An act of courtesy and thank them for it.
I do and I also show respect to any age person by saying, yes (sir,ma'am) or no
here's the rule i go by. if i get to the door first, and someone else is coming through, i hold it open. man, woman, old, young, doesn't matters. it's not about age or gender, it's just about being polite to another human being.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Open the door and grab some ass

LOL, forget the silly binary gender based etiquettes of the past, it's 2017. Just hold the door for any person behind you.

i'm sorry that you feel that way. i'm quite sure that when you hold the door open for a woman you're not subliminally saying that you don't think she can figure out how to do it for herself. some could possibly take it that way; luckily, most don't. in this day and age random acts of kindness should be appreciated with a smile and thank you - they're too far and in between.
“I insist” is short and to the point
Although if I’m in a hurry I will often say: “after me” and take the lead. “Beep! Beep!” Works well too.
Not very often do I behave that way tho. I can only see myself saying that is the building I was in, caught fire and wanted to pass by the women/children swiftly.
I hold the door for anyone who is behind me. Sometimes a man is uncomfortable about it and I don't argue with them, because in the end, I'm trying to be kind. Making someone else uncomfortable isn't kind.
Did you know that the door opening practice started because women's dresses were so huge, they literally couldn't get the doors open for themselves? This was only in the upper classes, because the poorer women's skirts weren't so big.
The number of things to get pissed about is in the thousands. Folks being kind to you should not be one of them. BTW, the 19th century is long gone and good riddance.
I once dated a very pretty and refined fashion model. She drilled into me that opening doors was what gentlemen did. It's hard to break that habit.
there are plenty of friendly people out there who enjoy doing nice things for others. Her parents must have taught her good manners
