I believe its a good thing to treat a woman well and do things for her like open the door. But I don't like the entitlement feeling women often get from it as I believe its a two way street- you treat her well and she treats you well in return. In addition to all the things men should do for women, what are some things women can do for men?

I think everyone should open doors for everyone else. Whoever hits the door first opens it. It's not about entitlement, it's about common curtesy. I will open doors for women. I will open doors for men. I will rush ahead to open doors for people carrying large objects. What do I expect? Nothing.
What are getting at? She's supposed to drop to her knees and suck you off because you opened a f*cking door for her? Get over yourself and stop viewing the world like it's a big balance sheet. Be a good person and associate with good people.

I don't know about that, but growing up I still remember going to the grocery store(before walmart and other larger retailers entered the region) was maybe 4 or 5 and would hold the door open for everyone that was coming out. Some reason I found it amusing doing a good deed. Over the years the pattern stuck, if someone was behind me or something and it felt like the right thing to do I would hold it open, "common courtesy". Never really got yelled at or anything yet, but I could imagine one or two sarcastic remarks I might say.. lol

You may not notice it, but women give the best emotional support in whatever way. I think without women, it will be a very sad world as do when we think the other way. If you think you are not getting what you're due in return for doing those simple gestures, then why are you staying in the relationship? and why do you complain?
I believe we give out the most love, we carry the most burdens, we cry the most tears, we give the most support and yet we stand up for our ideals and still carry on a great smile after the day's over.
Ask a girlfriend who gave all and told by the ex- boyfriend he never loved her during the entire relationship. Ask also a mother who sits for a while to have 5minutes of her "me time" in a whole day's work at home doing chores and caring for a crying baby. (It is the hardest profession, I believe, for a woman). Or a career- driven woman bullied at work by male counterparts for her suggestions.
Ask your mom or sisters or girlfriends. They may help you out too.
And for all the men, thank you for the simple gestures. It means a lot to us girls Ü

Nobody SHOULD do anything. It is a matter of civility and social sense if we want to open the door or offer the seat in the bus. Personally, I do not like if a man opens the door for me just because i am (an attractive) woman. I do not need to be privileged in front of other people neither to be put in an inferior position as well. But it is OK to keep to open it to a person who is carrying a luggage for example, or to keep it open if a person enter right behind you...

Everyone should treat EVERYONE with courtesy and respect, it IS a two-way street. Women should open doors, too, in my opinion. I don't think it's gender issue, it's an issue of common respect and courtesy that men show to men, women show to women, men show to women, and women show to men. When you think about it that way, it's much easier to "figure out" how to treat people...treat them as you would want to be treated, nothing more, nothing less.
Unless they're trolls...then all bets (and the gloves) are off.

Well, I don't like having men open doors for me, so I'm letting you off the hook there. What men and women should be doing is treating each other with the utmost respect and decency.

I totally agree with Carrie..This question should be what can we do for human beings? If you see me struggling with a bag of groceries and a child by my side..Yes PLEASE open the door for me!! If I see you struggling with a big box or a bag of groceries and a child by your side, I will open the door for you! It is a two way street---We should all treat each other the way we would want to be treated. It drives me crazy when a man won't let me open a door for them...Let me do for you what you would do for me.

I think that all men would appreciate a thank you for a polite gesture, but so would anyone. It is also a Christian gesture to hold a door, help someone with a heavy load or give up your seat for someone else(elder, a lady, pregnant, handicapped, etc)
A woman can always bring a positive spirit to a man by saying something positive or encouraging. That would be a great gesture!

we all should be generally kind to one another but the tradition of opening doors etc is from medieval times with chivalry. i believe that women have also taken the roll of house keeper, mother, wife, chef, doctor, maid and in todays world a carreer woman. soo we do our fair share dont you worry.

We should all do nice things for each other because we are all fellow human beings, and this world is a much better place when we are kind. There is no need to break this up into men / women - why not ask, "what can we do for our fellow human beings?"
I open doors for men and women.
