Hey everyone, I am making a poll.
Based on this -
When I was in the USA, I found it very sweet how many of the guys would open doors for the women. It's not something that's very common in my home country.
I felt so inspired by this, that I decided to return the kindness that was shown to me by the men. I would try opening the doors for everyone - both men and women.
In fact, I was so eager to open the doors for others, that at one point I even dashed across the room , slid and opened the door for a man with a child.
He was really bemused and thanked me.
However I then came across this study, done by researchers at Purdue University who found that men who had the door held open for them by another man experienced lower self esteem. Women had no effect on them whatsoever when doors were opened for them.
So I was wondering, directed to everyone, do you find it rude when a woman opens the door for you? Or if a man does it for you, if you're a man?
