Very fussy friend

So friend went on a first date yesterday, she said they went to a restaurant and he walked in first and sat down and how it was "rude." I said oh you was expecting him to open the door and pull out your chair, she said yes. And he "won't be getting a second date" aibu in thinking this is waaaaay to fussy. And personally as she's single and over 30 and hasn't had a relationship in years I'm quite surprised something so small would be such a big deal to her.

"A bit unreasonable to get annoyed with that Littlebacon. If OP believes in old fashioned (sexist) chivalry, it's a fair thing to point out.
On the continent, men are supposed to go first into a restaurant because otherwise all eyes are on the women."

Gwenhwyfar if Meganbacon chooses to post her views on "old fashioned (sexist) chivalry" on a public forum, they she cannot be surprised when someone expresses an opposing (and based on gender equality) view.

I maintain that an attitude of thinking it is "the man's job" to address the maitre d', is sexist, and very belittling to the woman, and I assert my right to express this.

From now on, I shall make a point of ensuring that I address the maitre d' at least as often as my husband, to counteract this ridiculous idea.
