I damn near always open the car door for my wife...even when we were dating I did it. I open the door for ladies at the store or mall or whatever as well. I was raised by a southern gentleman (I'd never let my dad hear me call him a gentleman LOL) and it was how he was raised and so on. It is instilled in me and all in all its just a polite thing to do. It doesn't take any extar energy or time to do something small & nice for someone.

I don't help with car doors, but will open or hold open a store/restaurant/etc. door when the opportunity is there.

To a building/ business / restaurants yes for sure. Just common courtesy in my mind. I’m 55 happily married 31 years this March. If you get a good one don’t take it for granted.

To my car, sometimes. Really depends on situation and approach. On date nights - yes always.

Yep, women are the ones killing chivalry.

I would if I could. I don't think I've had a woman ride in one of my cars that wasn't a blood relative since Bush was in office. Women find me as appealing as lemon juice in an eyeball.

I always open doors for women, without fail. It's a gentlemanly and respectful gesture. How strictly you adhere to such an act depends on how you were raised.

When we go somewhere like a store or out for bite to eat sure. It's free brownie points and believe me the notice along with holding their hand, It's the woman you have chosen to be with so I show it. Car door, depends as other have said.
