I dunno - my motto is, “Do the right thing, in the right way, for the right reason, REGARDLESS of whether somebody thinks they’ve ‘scored’ one on you.”

Holding a door open, sure. Giving up my seat in a restaurant to young, able-bodied women? Not in a million years.

If you're in line at the grocery store would you let the woman in line behind you go ahead of you? I think not.

“If you’re in line at the grocery store would you let the woman in line behind you go ahead of you? I think not.”

Not a fair comparison - at the grocery store, there’s probably good wine involved that needs imminent drinking. :-)

Yes. You let her go first. Especially if she only has a few items, or if she has a bunch of kids with her. Once you are in queue, you can hold position, but even then you should consider giving up your place.

On the metro, I won’t sit if there is a woman elderly man standing. Annoys my wife sometimes, but thats what it means to be a gentleman.
