Ali de BoldThe door thingHunter, the answer to your question is find a way to open that door for her. Even if you feel it closing in on you, hold it with all your might. When a man opens the door and breezes through without considering the woman 2 steps behind him or worse, his date/wife/girlfriend it looks mighty selfish. I know there are 2 or 3 women in the world ;) who find it offensive when a man opens the door for them but I do believe the rest of the female population appreciates it.
If you find it that bad, consider doing a bit of weight training. Not only is it good for your health, we girls do tend to like nice toned arms.
MizzRobin, love the point about portability. Nothing worse than a man you can't take anywhere. Life is for living and enjoying shared experiences.
You all made so many good points I agree with all of them. Bubbly Bunny's point about not paying attention made me laugh because we've all been there.
My pet peeves:
Listen! It's very annoying when you are with someone who only wants to talk about themselves. You should both be talking and listening to each other.
Don't treat me like the "little missus" whether that is at home, in business or any other aspect I expect to be treated with respect and not played down to because I am female and wouldn't understand. This is different from chivalry. Chivalry is about respect. The "little missus" routine is about treating women like we couldn't possibly comprehend the same things as your superior man brain. Luckily my husband does not do this to me or we would not be married, but I have met many men who have this mentality and I can't stand it.
Chewing with your mouth open Reeshie19 already mentioned and I've been advocating against this at every opportunity. It's wrong, gross and means we can't take you in public. See MizzRobin's point above.
