Why give up, Stumpy? Seriously, all that means is you've been whipped by the radical feminazis. If nothing else, do it because it pisses them off! One day you'll meet some woman who says "Thank you" and means it. Maybe she'll be unmarried, or maybe someones grandmother, but at least she will appreciate your actions.
Maybe it's because I grew up in the midwest, but I've always appreciated it when a man opened doors, and since I became aware of the feminazis, I always say "thanks!". I'm one of the lucky women here--I waited until 35 to wed for the 1st, last & only time, and God saw fit to bring me not only to Himself, but to my soulmate. Maybe you would find youself among a more like-minded set of men & women if you joined a solid church/temple/mosque (whatever your nominal religion is). God did not intend for Man to be alone, and prefers Man to be with Woman in a married relationship (see Genesis for clarification). So if you want to have some mental fun, just remind yourself that the radical feminazis are nothing more than the agents of Satan...
I understand stumpy because I witnessed the 'door holding' outrage once. The guy was really upset, and hopefully telling him I'd tell him thank you undid the damage. It's not good for a person to be alone as you said (as God said LOL).
Good for you. I married once in '80. She took a hike in '83. I didn't get married again until 2000. I decided that if I had to live alone for the rest of my life, rather than live in misery the rest of my life - it was worth it. Fortunately - I met and married my best friend. And I still open the door for her.
