There are definitely varying degrees of this kind of generosity, but unfortunately I don't feel like they necessarily correspond with the caliber of man overall. There are guys who will hold the door open for you and then try to feel you up in return, just as there are guys who don't think to open your car door, but can end up being the most genuine caring people. To the men out there who aren't thanked for their courtesy, I am very sorry. You don't deserve that, but as we know, no good deed goes unpunished.

She fits option B pretty well. If a guy does something for you, appreicate it. Everything is not linked to one's sex. We're doin it cuz we're nice. i try to be that way to anyone, not just females. wow, looks like Rachel may not have read Micheal’s comment. She fits option B pretty well.

True respect for a woman is not opening a door. I don't need a guy to do things for me that I am not expected to do for him. I don't care if my boyfriend feels obligated or not. We should treat each other as EQUALS!!!! I am a Southern girl and I don’t think chivalry is needed! True respect for a woman is not opening a door.

Either you get some little Paris Hilton wannabe who EXPECTS you to serve her like a little princess, or you get some Womens' Studies chick who is pissy that you think she can't open her own door. How the hell can I win! Ok, I was raised to be Chivalrous, but it is truly impossible anymore.
