It makes no sense. Over my 43 years, I've had many an opportunity to hold doors open for others at all sorts of events that I was going through to myself, and men, women, kids... everyone holds doors open for each other and have for quite a long time. I've never seen anything untoward about it, whether at a store, the movies, school events... It's like they must be searching these kinds of people out or are just lucky enough to find them each time.
