Am I maybe being over-sensitive?

Just saw an advert (aimed at men) which referred to opening the door for a woman as "laying down the ground work". The man of course got to date the woman.

Haven't men been trying to say for years that the door thing is 'just being nice' (bullshit) and that we're overreacting when we say we don't like patronising, presumptive behaviour? (dismissive)

What the what? Anyone else seen this? AM I overreacting?

(Need to get any necessary venting over this done before poor hubby wakes up because he actually is a seriously decent bloke and doesn't need any of the mood I'm in just now lol)

I've not seen it but if ipe ing the door is being nice, then it makes sense to do it for someone you like, to show them you are nice.
Doesn't it?

I told my OH he doesn't need to do this for me (use to open the car door for me which was a bit weird), but its nice if he sometimes opens a door and stands to the side to let me through. Obv sometimes I do it for him too though.
