So you are walking into your building and a man is 20 feet ahead of you. He doesn't hold the door for the guy going in right after him, but he does for you.

A feel-good feeling or can you manage that door by yourself?

I like chivalry. If someone wants to hold a door for me, I say knock yourself out and thank you!

I hold doors for anyone. But should a man feel he has to do those 'old-fashioned' things for a woman? Why? She can handle a door, she can handle anything.

True.
