I work for the courthouse so the men are always opening doors for me there, guess maybe they think the judge or their lawyers are around watching 
No really people are really polite in the courthouse. It's amazing!! But I like it! And I hold those dang heavy doors open for people all the time myself if I get there first! Some guys do NOT like that! Kind of weird

I do it more out of habit than politeness I'm afraid. We were raised to be that way in the 60s! It's amazing though that very few women say thankyou anymore!
Neither men nor women open doors in Canada...we roll the ice cube away from the entrance to our ice homes. We all have sleds called "Freds" and wolves to pull our freds. Rarely do I let a strange man drive the fred. Not because I want to be in control, no it is because my puppies like me to drive.

Oh my gosh! I would never not say 'thank you'!
victor_meldrew: I think you're doing mlp a disservice in this instance jac = I think that as he is referring the question to the wider community of many people, he is therefore referring to 'woman' in the plural, not that one bloke has several women ...
And yes, I always hold the door for ANY ladies (with or without buggies or shopping etc), not just the one that is with me.

My comment was with his previous thread in mind, as well. I have to admit.

I love to be called "Sweetheart".You know I am from the old school, I do believe that men exhibiting chivalry is endearing and speaks volumes sometimes about their personalities and character. My contention however, is ...why must we women in this 21 century , fighting for all kinds of equality, expect only our men to extend these show of pleasantries?
I open doors for men, I offer to pay half of the tab if I go on a date, I have sent flowers to man for his birthday......without expecting anything other than to be treated with equality and the same consideration and respect ............simply because I loved him and I personally think its he deserves all the special treatment that is usually expected of the guy when we are in a relationship.
Times are changing, in my opinion I do not see a man less of a man because he didnt open a door for me or pick up the tab after a dinner or whatever the case may be. JMO

jac379: This is the perfect example of why some women get tetchy about the door being opened for them.
Its when they feel there's another agenda besides manners and its discomfitting.
If I open the door for someone, its simply to avoid it slamming in their face, or to avoid a struggle with a buggy, shopping etc.

And likewise.....women mostly only do things for men for their reasons or needs ......
mlp133: just a poll
if you are a gentlemen then yes.
If you men only knew all the brownie points you rack up by the simple gentlemanly things you would do them all the time 
jac379: Good.
Because these days if my hands aren't full of shopping, or wet laundry, I'm pushing a buggy.
Damned chivalrous of you.

I love it when a man opens the door for me.
Makes me think he is a sweet good gentleman.

If she promises to behave herself I will even take of her handcuffs too.

Yip, except for when I'm in Scandinavia! They will hate you for it because they think that you think they are weak...
Well we know that, but you didnt answer his question?.............
all doors except bathroom doors without fail !
jac379: You're right.
Its still very popular here in Wales.
(What's WILMA?)

I always say thankyou
woodstock1: .........wilma is fred flintstone's wife....
Her education is lacking not knowing the Flintstones...
Godsgift: I don't own a woman!
I'll open the door if she is pushing on it and the door sign says: Pull.....
In the blogs or articles on this same site someone listed all the things "nice guys" do that annoy women.
Opening doors/pulling out chairs was one of them, apparently it implies we think they're feeble, and several women replied in agreement.
Then we get a thread like this and they want those things done as it's chivalrous.
If that doesn't show what a load of contradicting bs modern expectations are I don't know what does.
