Does chivalry even exist anymore???

Dearest Rachelle. A lovely topic and a great question asked. So here is my appreciations for u. Lets be honest..the human value has had a lot od depreciation over the years enough. Now emotions are almost on the verge of going extinct. Infact just yesterday afternoon i was thinking about terrorism and felt that even small children are seen playing games where they need to shoot and kill people and move through the different levels of the game to achieve their mission. The same way imagine this same kid in real life.. he sees a man get killed in front of eyes. I really doubt if he would feel anything. And thats whats happening. We have become hard enough like stone to feel anything. We get adjusted to pain almost instantly and can even turn the mind over a 180 degrees to take revenge. Thats the big problem. Holding a door for another person is manners, but who cares. No one thinks and no one seems to have the time to care for another. I hold the door for many too but only a few have been kind enough to hold the door a few seconds extra so that i could ebter before the door slammed flat on my face. U wish a person good morning.. probably u have to wait decades. incase the person would ever wish u back. In India i guess its even worse when it comes down to manners and chivalry. Its definitely faded out. Unfortunate but true. No one cares. U know since childhood i had heard that women have a softer heart and they care for others. Even if a man didnt. Thats a major reason why i respect girls more than men. The result...a million heartbreaks...till the heart litterally became powder. Now i have two hearts in me. One to do the blood pumping activities and the other to give love and respect to good humans like u and a few ,ore people i know. I really wonder why humans never try to understand their mistakes and rectify them. Who knows..if i have enough manners left in me or not.

oh don't loose hope this man here still holds the doors open for the ladies, its not all lost out there. :)

Although the days of chivalry are long gone, there are still people with good manners out there. There are people out there who still open doors for others, and say please and thank you.

I this chivalry still exist but very rare, you are very lucky to find one in your lifetime now adays. I know some men still hold that chivalric attitude in them and I want to find one..hehehe

Welcome to the era of equality.LOL I am also seeing decrease in chivalry and romantic type of love.I think it does exist but on that large scale as it used to exist years ago.

Isn't it awful?! I hate to say this but I don't think good manners are as prevalent as they used to be. It's sad, too. I don't think I've ever held a door for a man, lol. There are a few men around who will still do it but not as many as there used to be. What I don't like is for somebody to pull out in front of me on the highway! That just grates on my nerves Kathy.

it still does exist but unlike before where it's a must for a guy to have it in order to be called a gentleman. nowadays, one could be a gentleman without being chivalrous. but there are excemptions. it depends also with the culture or the background of the guy. for example, filipinos still has that characteristic though not as high as the good old days. and for me, chivalry is an advantage for guys when it comes to the ladies.
