I remember being in NJ on business and when I would hold the doors (like I always do), the women would give me the evil eye, like I was insulting them.

I have never in my life gotten a bad reaction from a woman for holding a door, or for any other act of chivalry. (Being ruggedly handsome has its advantages!)

LOL! To be honest, I haven't either - even here in San Francisco, the "Heart of Darkness". But if I was 5'4" and 300 pounds with warts all over my face, I expect I would have.

We can therefore derive a simple rule: A handsome man who behaves chivalrously toward a woman is charming, confident and sexy; an ugly man who behaves chivalrously toward a woman is a creepy, vulgar sexist.
