Is it normal that i'm submissive to every woman i meet?

I naturally fall into a submissive role with all the women I'm friends or coworkers with.

There's the whole chivalry thing, with opening doors and whatnot, but this is different. I'm compelled to find ways to put myself in situations where I'm following their lead and doing everything they say. Most women are nice, but there are some who really take advantage.

One coworker had me mowing her lawn and driving her to work even though we lived in opposite directions.

    It's one thing to be nice, but it's another to be another person's slave just because you can't say no. It's a great thing to be nice, but if someone wants you do something and that something is ridiculous or grotesque, then put your foot down!

    Don't ever let people take advantage of you! You CAN be overly nice. Just remember that you have just as much a right to exist as they do-- so don't let them make you their bitch.

    It's not unnatural! You just need to man up a little bit and say no! Hey and if that lady who made you mow her lawn asks you for something, next time (No matter what it is!) just say no. And if she gets mad say something funny like, "it's not my fault you don't have a life." Haha,...but only if you really dislike her.

    im not saying this to be mean, you sound like a nice person .. but i really hate guys that act that way ... im not sure why but they make me sick... it seems really un-natural .. or maybe like their mother did something to them when they were young, anyways i think its a very repulsive quality to "ALL" women except the ones who will just use you ... i gotta aggree with the above posters statment ,, and you should really get over this personality trait before you get settled into that character for life

    sounds like how my husband use to be. He was such a gentlemen that he would feel bad if he ever said no to someone who asked him for something. You just got to set your foot down and don't let people walk all over you. Since me and my husband have been together he's improved a lot because I say something to the people that like to take advantage of him. His Mother always told him that he is supposed to answer the call of any woman. but that's not how it works and he knows that now. He's still nice and does stuff for people but if he don't really want to do something then he will tell them no. Like cutting that woman's grass... That's not your job and maybe you shouldn't do it anymore.
