If I am the first one to a door, I always reach
to open it..if a man says, 'Let me get that' I am
ALWAYS appreciative.

The only time I could imagine NOT liking having the
door opened for me would be if I noticed that person
did it ONLY for me (for effect) and left some old
man/woman or handicapped person to fend for themselves.

It is a great habit, everyone wins.

Not sure if I need him to open doors, but I do like a man being a gentleman for sure.
The one thing I would appreciate is a man opening the car door for me first, before he gets in himself.
I must say it's been a while since I had a man do that for me and each time a guy doesn't do that, gets in himself first, I'm slightly disappointed.
Somehow a car door matters more to me than any other door. I can open a door, I cannot open the car door when it's still locked, meaning I am waiting out in the cold while he's already in the car. I do not like that...

Its very appreciated to meet a man with decency. I would like to find one that will treat me with respect as I like to treat others

Amazing how such a small and logical courtesy has become a contentious act to so many people.

I hold doors for all kinds of people every day, for various reasons. Some simple logic, and some because I am always actively trying to make the world a better place for everyone.

I know the reason why it HAS been such a problematic act. It's because some people make a lot more of it than it should ever be thought of.

Some males have done it as a political statement, to establish that they are a certain kind of person, who opposes another certain kind of person. Some do it as a part of a sexual manipulation, to impress women they are chasing, or who they might chase. Some have done it expecting, and even DEMANDING, that the woman personally thank them for their actions.

Some women in turn, have decided that it is symbolic of the idea of male superiority in all things, and therefore demanded that NO ONE do it. Some want it done because they want it to be true, that men are subservient to women.

Some people, both genders, want it to continue as a tradition, because having old traditions give them a sense of continuity and stability in life.

So weird, for such a small action.

I believe it to be a common courtesy which most women expect and most men provide, and good manners cost nothing as my mother use to say.

Thanks for the comments, yes I found this action interesting, I was raise to respect others like I want to be respected. Opening the door for others, done this for years not even thinking about it, for parents with a stroller, people just walking through a threshold behind me, with friends, dates. Lately, where I am at the moment, there are some mix feelings about this action, I keep doing this, not even thinking about it and now they do it for me. Just found it interesting.

It is a common courtesy.
I open doors to parents with kids, people with mobility challenges, those entering behind me etc.
It is simply a matter of manners and empathy. No need to ever-analyze everything.
