I have taught my boys to be respectful to everyone, much like Aqua and WildIrish describe. They hold doors for everyone when out in public. Manners are manners for everyone, not to be saved to impress the opposite sex.

Now as for opening the car door...I don't want someone to come around and open it for me to get out, but as a passenger I would prefer you to use the key to unlock my door first, not get in your door and push the button. To me that's a manners things too. Whether it be riding somewhere with a girlfriend our out with my family.
