Well, I don't know about the guy ur talking about, but for me, I wouldn't feel emasculated at all.
Alternatively however, if a girl saw me coming up behind her and just dropped the door in my face, that'd be a big turn off. lol... Manners matter. Thinking of other people is important.

Don't worry about it. It's common courtesy and no other though beyond that. I wouldn't think anything of it other than that was nice of you to do. If a guy feels that way, he's got some issues I would think that go well beyond that, and you'll find that out in other ways lol
Nah, if anything he didn't think anything of it. It's nice to do things for the opposite sex sometimes. Even if it's just holding the door open for them.
I'll hold the door open for anyone it's simply being polite and if he feels emasculated then it could be an insecurity.
I don't think so, it's common courtesy in general regardless of gender.
I do it all the time, they never say thank you just dont do it.

You're fine he's fine. The only way maybe he could feel embarrassed if he was pushing on the pull side and you helped with that. i would feel like an idiot after that.
Nope. Here in Canada, whoever gets to the door first holds the door open for everyone. It would be rude if you didn't hold the door open.
Other places might be different though.First, It depends on whether he likes you back. If he's doesn't like you then it could be a put off, but at that point you shouldn't care. Holding the door shows you have character and aren't afraid to be you. Two things that are essential if a relationship between you and this guy's is to be real.
No matter at all in sweden the first person who gets to door will hold it for others no matter who is that
It just feels odd due to it rarely happening. I dont thimk about it too much. A nice gesture is a nice gesture, regardless who it is from.
Yes, i hold it si she can let go and walk in, im in control if my manors, not my mother any more
It's just being a decent human being? Lol
Doesn't stand out too much.If it bothered him, he would have said "I got it" and held the door for you.
It's happened to me quite a few times. It's always odd and something that stands out, but I don't mind. But sometimes the girls that did it, are ones I know like me...
I don't think so. I do it sometimes, it's not a big deal.
I do it all the time, without even thinking about it. Nobody's complained yet.
Not weird that just shows you have awesome manners and your very respectful.
Probably throw weird signals because I never seen it happening.
It isn't weird. Its a rare phenomenon. personally I would enjoy it
Don't overthink shit, it's the 21st century, it's really not a big deal
I dont even hold the door for women anymore. Only old ladies
I hold doors open for anyone regardless of age or sex.
I've done it before and it's more awkward than anything. Guys still try to make me walk before them though so I'm there holding the door but they won't go in or are hesitant
I hold the door it doesn't matter who comes after me.
No, it's not. People need to get over this "girls shouldn't do this and that".. it's human.. You hold the door open, regardless
