And although I smiled and we enjoyed conversation and beer... And although I didn't rip you a new one, I was screaming inside... "WTF!!!! Who does he think he is acting like a complete gentleman, letting me walk in the door before him????" Really now. I can only speak from what I know. It is so rare to be with a man who takes the time to do small, but very important little things. I guess since it's not something women are used to these days, they take offense. You are a gentleman and so is my Anthony, that in mind I have grown very used to (and quite frankly spoiled) the kindness shown when the door is opened for me or a lighter is flicked when I get out a ciggie. It's all in the little things. All those uber-Fems should chill out and enjoy instead of wanking. You’ve held the door for me before.

The last one of those I held the door open for had stashed half of WalMart (and a bit of Kroger) in his chair... The one prior got an attitude and ripped me a new butt because she was perfectly able to do it herself and didn't need my pity. Of course, I think she was one of those uber-Feminists in disguise... Some days, you just can't win... heh [Ok, ok, while absolutely true, no, I hold no such prejudices, and still hold the door open behind me where applicable. I'm not a heartless bastard, no matter what some people might think] Not the handica— oops! errr— physically challenged.

Too often, people just assume that the help I'm willing to offer extends to holding the door for anyone close enough to squeeze through. If they are polite, then they will have already reached for the door, and I will basically pass it on. If the people behind me are older or have small children or if they are handicapped, I will happily hold the door until they are clear. I can't say I've ever gotten the feminist anti-guy-holds-the-door attitude, but what I do often get is people just assuming that I'm going to hold the door. And a quick thanks never hurts anyone.
