Sometime today, I'm going to open the door for a woman and then slam it in her face.
This used to happen quite frequently several years ago.
I hated the world and while I made an effort hiding it other people could see throuh it and they acted in a similar way towards me. I had doors slammed at my face and people joking about it once a month...
Sometime ago it stopped happening, I changed my attitude and people noticed that I was nicer towards everyone so there was no need to slam doors at my face any longer.
Yesterday(I kid you not this actually happened yesterday) I had a door slammed at my face again. This girl didnt notice that I was behind her when she was closing the door so I had to make an effort stopping the door to avoid being hit by hit. Said girl then spent over 5 minutes apologizing while I tried to explain her that I understand that she didnt mean to harm me.(You have already assumed this girls mean intentions without talking with her about it)
In my experience if you expect everyone to be mean towards you they are going to be because they notice that you are always questioning their intentions... If you however display a nicer attitude most people will treat you nicerly. Sure you may have some trouble with people that are going to try to take advantage of your niceness but you learn from your own mistakes and you will be able to determine who you can trust and who you cant in little/no time and gender isnt a factor on who you should/shouldnt trust.
