I think the issue is that girls don't know what they want. Or more precisely, different girls want different things. Some of them want you to do little things like open doors for them. Others will spit in your face and scream sexism if you even look like you're thinking about holding that door for them.
Then you have the current situation with men. We don't know what the heck to do with girls anymore. You try to be nice, and you've got a fairly high chance of getting slapped or screamed at for being sexist.
I've reached the point now where I just treat everyone equally. I'm calling their bluff so to speak. Girls want equality? Fine, they'll get it from me. If they're willing to spit in my face, they have no grounds for complaining when I spit back.
Anyways, what you described isn't a nice guy, its a door mat. No one likes door mats.
