It's really amazing to me the strange looks that I get when I hold open the door for a lady. They just don't expect it. What happened to the men out there?

As a lady, I thank you and every other man who has ever held a door for me. I expect it from my son and my Hubby, but that's as far as the expectation goes.

When another man actually does it, I thank graciously and smile - it means a great deal!

I once met a woman I was attracted to. On our first date she started to get into the passenger side of the car by herself. I told her, you're not giving me a chance to be a gentleman. After that she always let me open doors for her. I think it shocked her the first time.

When another man actually does it, I thank graciously and smile - it means a great deal! Well, I'm glad some people appreciate it! Maybe it's the fact that someone wearing shorts, sandals and a tshirt is doing it that gets to them.. =) Not all of us gen-Xers have heads that are full of mush..
