42, California - never seen it either. Not even once. What are you projecting? Negative people often draw other negative people and negative consequences into their lives without realizing it. Like attracts like.

A man who holds his positive frames and controls his own reality makes even the university feminists weak in the knees. They are too knocked back on their heels emotionally at finally encountering such a creature to even remember to make snippy comments when he holds the door for them. On the other hand, a man with slumped shoulders and a "poor me" attitude who is sure a woman is going to say something nasty when he holds the door for her, well, he's probably going to be right. But it isn't the act that irritates her, it's him. ;)

Perhaps. I certainly irritated my ex!

OTOH, I'm more apt to hold the door for someone who looks like they are already having a bad day, under the theory that they should at least have one person be nice to them that day.

As for the mean women who don't appreciate holding a door or offering a seat, I'd honestly like to hear more about it from some guys who have encountered it. I'd like to hear details if anyone remembers them. Just curious, not a challenge in any way.

I think this is very true. As I said in an earlier post, don't ever apologize for being masculine and a man. That's not a license to be a boor or act rudely, of course. Nor is it a license to creep women out. Just be confident and masculine, positive and genuinely comfortable and happy.

A lot of things in life fall into place for a man when he just approaches life in a confident, masculine manner. Anything less just isn't really notable in a man - other men will look past him, and more than a few women can be quite vicious (at times) in letting a man now it.
