How do women feel about men opening doors for them? Is it patronizing or gentlemanly?

gentlemanly! My husband always opens the door for me:love:

I open them and more :evilgrin:

I like it.

Patronizing

They have a pair of hands they can do it themselves

I hate people who dont thank you when you do it :bored:

It would be improper to expect them to come into the kitchen through the window.

:laugh3:

I find it polite and say thankyou

It's good manners - regardless of whether male or female.

when related to specifically men though as the OP asks:- it's the sign of a gentleman - and someone with good manners. (it could also be a sign that the guy just fancies the pants off the female !!).

Personally I would hold the door open for anyone who happened to be behind me as I entered through a doorway.

All I ask is the person in front of me holds the door for me to follow rather than just ignore me.

I wouldn't go out of my way to open a door just because it's a female, I'm all for equal rights.

I also hold a door open for the person behind me, most of the time it appears to be taken for granted but I have had many thank you's as well.

However earlier in the year,an elderly woman was behind me and I held the door open and got 'damn young people, they think all old people cannot do things for themselves'.

It was a bit embarrassing but I just smiled and left her to it though.

If it was one of those very heavy glass /metal doors - id have been tyo tempted to let it go when they were half way through.,....

-wonders if Liberty4eva is able to communicate other than by starting threads and replying to posts on the threads he or she started-

Close them too? :evilgrin:

This :bored:

This[2].

:joker::joker: Had a few like that but not as vocal as she was.

:conf:

I start a lot of threads but so what. I have a lot of interesting questions. :p

I bet he responds by opening a thread that has to do with sociopolitical and/or geographical implications of America and being an American.

Edit : Oh wait, he got in before me. I'm stupid.

That's only cause America is, like, the most awesomest country since, like, the history of eva.
