Maybe he feels strongly that young men are first in line for standing. I do. That said, in these situations it's often best to set the example by standing and offering your seat after giving the young'uns a few seconds to make their choice clear. Of course, more than once the lady has politely declined and I've lost my seat to a younger male... :o)

I hold the door for everyone but I will hurry up a step to catch it for a lady; I presume I'm paying until told otherwise, I close the car door and walk around, I say "you're welcome", I "let them off first", and I demonstrate this and expect this of my son as he grows into adolescence.

Am I just out of tune? I'm in my early forties, raised in the UK but living in New York. I've received plenty of compliments on my etiquette and manners, and not once has anyone berated me for being what I was taught as gentlemanly. Admittedly, I'm not out dating progressive 20-somethings, maybe I'd stand out as weird in that environment, but these young couples are going to grow to be 40, 50, to have children, and I'm guessing Mrs. will want Mr. to hold the door for her down the road.
