It’s always better to have no expectations in these situations. Do what you will and move on.
Seriously.
How are people so mad about this?
Who told you this is some kind of grand gesture and those damn women better show their thanks!
(Old man shakes fist at sky)

Some people say thanks, some don't.
I'm sure lots of women have learned to not say thanks because of assholes demanding that they do and expecting some kind of praise for it.
Better to not engage.

Hold the door for people when you can, it's a nice thing to do.
Then move the fuck on with your life.

It's something I used to do up til right now.

If I reach the door at about the same time as someone coming to the door from the opposite side I usually open it for them and offer to them to go through the door first. I am very rarely thanked by any women (I know I have a face like the elephant man's twin brother but still - a small act you'd think would be acknowledged whether you're an ugly fuck or not). I would say it's mostly younger (30 and younger) women who never say thanks or acknowledge. Guys (regardless of background - white, black, chinese etc.) always say thanks and older people too.

In todays world of equality, I will now go through the door first and they can open their own door whether they've got their hands full, obese, pregnant or with some fatherless child with them or not (exception is if they're in a wheel chair). I don't want to be accused of disrespecting capable young women by opening doors for them (as if I'm suggesting they're weak etc.) as well as not getting thanked!
I identify as a door and often hold myself.

The amount of men who take a thank you for opening the door as an invitation to follow and ask for a name, a number, etc is more then most men would realize.

I see a time in my own future when opening doors for anyone (including self) will be problematical, so I make the gesture whenever I can. Paying it forward, sort of?...

I open the door for people. Not always, but I am more inclined to and will make more effort if the person is otherwise less capable, age, youth, packages, disability etc. I do not make any consideration for woman one way or another. You think you are being a gentleman but if you open doors for women and don't for men... you are seeing them as basically crippled and of lessor ability, you just don't have the self awareness to glom onto it.

As for being thanked. I never expect being thanked, and if any passive aggressive cunt ever did the "your welcome" I will be very inclined to tell said person to fuck right off. You just held a door open, you didn't suck my dick, it's basic behavior. Should I thank you for something very basic. Also when I am out and about I am often lost in my own thoughts [woolgathering in old timey speak] and if you want me to bow down to you for doing the very basics, just don't bother, I'd rather open the door myself. Ironically, if someone doesn't thank you and you respond with a "your welcome", you are actually being more rude than the person who didn't grovel at your feet as far as I am concerned. You open doors for someone because it's the right thing to do, not for the thanking. Fuck though in 10 years people will probably be expecting a tip considering how things are progressing in that front.

Story time, about 40 years ago I found a wallet in a camp ground, back before credit cards were common. Fuck tons of cash in there, I was about 10. I went to the camp management, found the guy, returned the wallet. He offered me some money, I turned it down. He did thank me, but if he didn't, no big deal. I would know he appreciated it.

Went to BK last night. Opened the door for what looked like a grandmother and her teenage mixed grandchild. Got a thank you.

When leaving - opened the door for two Middle Aged Asian men. No thank you

I didn’t care either way. I wouldn’t even have clues in if not for this thread going on. LOL

"Pay the bill?"
Yeah maybe after the 9 - 12 th date now a days. Before Covid I say by the 4th date only if she is serious about a relationship for marriage.

But now if it is FWB depending where I meet her - coffee fine - but a "fine restaurant" pay it yourself. But if guaranteed a nice time afterwards sure pay for it.

They probably thought you worked there. Were you wearing a tunic?

I always hold the door open for others. However , like you, ive noticed that hardly anyone says thank you or acknowledges it . I will continue to do it but only because it is the polite thing to do.
