He Says: This is the kind of schizophrenia that New York men have to deal with all the time. Women demand to be treated as powerful economic equals, yet they secretly want to be treated like princesses to be swept away to a man’s castle. Some women get offended when you pay for dinner, like we’re buying you. Others get offended when you don’t. You offer to split it, they think you’re a loser. Here’s an idea: make a point of ostentatiously holding the door for him. He’ll probably think that’s weird and change his stripes. 
She Says: There are all kinds of men out there. But opening a door for someone is basic. Women do it for women and men do it for men so the least your man can do is step up to the plate for you! If he doesn’t open the door for you give him a pointed look. I’m not saying he needs to do this all the time… it’s OK to be casual. ..but if you’re going out for dinner (for example) he should. If he keeps (not) doing it you might want to mention it. No guy wants to end up with a reputation like this guy and he might not realize how offensive it is! Cast your vote!
