Most of the time we have revolving doors actually. You must hang out in the lower income sections of ny or something.

I totally agree (although I realize some of the post was in jest.)
I think that as a society, we have just gotten ruder (more rude?). There are many people that will cut in front of you in a parking lot, not say thank you when you hold the door open for them, etc. Then again, there are still people who will hold the door FOR you, help you pick something up if you drop it, etc.
That being said, James I totally agree with your original idea. Girls if you are upset that your "nice" guy doesn't hold open the door for you....and I'm not even talking about opening it, i'm talking about holding it for you when he walks through it first....that's like, bottom of the barrel, basic manners. It's possible that he was brought up to behave that way, so if you call his attention to it he might change that for you. If not, it's not anything personal...but graduate to the smaller percent of the population that treat each other with respect. That immediately cuts the amount of eligible guys to a minimum but honestly, we all deserve at least that much.....I don't even deal with anyone less.
This is not a guy attack, it works the same way with women. Damn the uncouth!!!
