There is nothing wrong with being polite by holding doors and such. It's nice to be nice.

Don't stop just because they laugh at you, remember, it's a dumb reason to laugh at someone. And definitely don't slam the door in people's faces..

I'm sure they're just teasing. Some people think holding doors and the like are old fashioned. 21st century people are sometimes numb to the concept of kindness, don't let it get to you.

Theres your problem. Do it for your very close lady freinds or g.f. no need to show politeness to every women at work, while its a good gesture many will laugh still.

I disagree with this statement partially. You should show politeness to everyone, man and women. I hold the door for most everyone, AT CONVENIENCE, I don't run ahead of crowds of women just to hold the door open for them when they're still twenty feet away. Do it as appropriate. If accompanying one person, hold the door for them; if leading a small group, hold the door; if in front of a stranger hold the door, or at least kick it open a little so they have something to gab on to. In short don't go waaaaaay out of your way, if your doing that then you will look a tad silly.

This man got it right. It's what I do.

I always let a woman get out of the elevator first, enter a room first, etc., they seem to like it.

Be polite. Don't let anyone step on you. Know the limits.

Sounds like you need to hang out around new people. In high school I remember coming into to class in a great mode, with a smile on my face and a girl and her friend asked if I was gay just cause i was smiling. Some people are just dumb and miserable.Diablo-B

no, we like guys that are brash, rude, and treat every situation that arises with a shotgun in one hand and a chainsaw in the other.Allicrombie

Umm, do you mean polite or chivalrous?

Anywho, YEEEEES on the polite. Acting like a rude douche is one of the fastest ways to lose [my] interest.
