The man goes first. Just like going down stairs.
As any good Texan man knows, a gentleman will open the door for a lady. Similarly, we will allow ladies onto the elevator first (even holding the door for them when necessary.)
But what is the policy on revolving doors? On one hand, if you let the lady go first, they are responsible for initiating the movement of the revolving door (which can often be difficult with some doors). So the brunt of the physical labor is given to the woman. On the other hand, if you jump ahead of her, you appear rude and illmannered.
Help me out here. This is a dilemma I encounter every morning.

If she is hot, you get in the same segment as she, and then you push the bar for her, but you hope that it gets stuck and you are stranded together for an hour or so.
G.Q. is correct, the man should enter first.
Stop and act like you are tying your shoe until the woman is inside the building.
Jim's got the right idea...get behind her in the same segment and reach around her to "help" push the door...subtly dry humping her at the same time.
I knew someone would respond like that...I personally think you should just let the girl go first in the rovolving door. I can see where some doors are difficult to push and you want to push it for the girl, but I think it'd be rude if you went first.
We women are stronger than we look.
Great conversation starter for singles.
Guy:"May I hold the door open for you?" then smile.
The rest is up to her and how she responds to you.
They are really impressed when you can hold the door open without the use of your arms or legs.
what if you're entering a restaurant with 2 seperate doors to enter... opening the first is easy, but after she's passed you do you just let her open the second door or do you hurry up and run to the second door looking like a re to open it?
You trip her before she can get to the second door.
*makes mental note*
In my experience, the girl holds the 2nd door open for me, like she was returning the favor....that works for me.
In my experience, the guy is usually quick and smooth and rushes to open the second door....that works for me
Plus, it must be tough for you getting around in that walker.
Was that a dig at Jimbo's age?
Heavens, no!
At his feebleness.
At least I still have full control of my bladder, unlike someone in here who shall remain nameless.
PS
Shoog, did you get those Depends coupons that I clipped out for you?
Y'all are making me teary-eyed. Eleven years of marriage and I still haven't managed to teach my Yankee husband this simple maneuver. He also wears his baseball cap indoors and puts his elbows on the table when he eats. It's like he was raised in a barn, but really, it was one of those square states up north.
Actually, at some point years ago I learned men are supposed to get on elevators first, the rationale apparently being that should the elevator malfunction, the lady is saved--like going down with the ship, I guess. I've noticed, though, that nobody actually does that. Generally, men hold the elevator door for me, so I guess I'm the canary to make sure the elevator's safe. Has anybody else ever heard this (men getting on the elevator first)? If it helps, I was living in Baton Rouge at the time I heard/read/somehow absorbed this.
What simple maneuver? I still don't know what I'm supposed to do with a revolving door!

I wait and let the guy catch up to me.
