Ladies are the days of male chivalry over?

Not completely ... but just about .. ! And truthfully why should men bother with chivalry these days .. they treated us girls as ladies and we 'threw in back in their faces' when the days of bra burning started .. we stood up and said we wanted emancipation .. and finally men listened .. ... and since then all we've done (collectively as the female gender that is) .. is moaned about not having doors opened for us and seats offered up .. we can't have it both ways can we .. I always smile and say a loud and clear 'thank you' when a man does something for me .. but all too often I see young women just march through when doors are opened for them by gents and the women don't even a smile let alone give a thank you .. hardly inpires men to open doors for us does it .. So come on girls .. let's put our bra's back on .. smile and say thank you when doors are opened for us .. you'd be surprised at how much it can make someones day to feel appreciated ..

they're not over as long as MY SON is alive! I refuse to raise a non-gentleman! My father is the epitemy of gentlemanly. He always walks on the outside of the sidewalk (this is something they were taught to do in case the mafia would come by to shoot at them, they could protect their lady... is that sweet or what? take a bullet for you?), okay a little weird because it's sort of an expectant to being shot by the mafia but hey.. lol But truly, walking on the outside of the sidewalk with your lady protects her from being splashed, from being hit by any crazy drivers, etc. Opens doors and the lady ALWAYS goes first. I've had women come to me and actually comment on how gentlemanly my son is because he held a door open for her and let her in first. I'm so adamant about it that when a man whips a door open and walks in, hitting me with the door I loudly say "Thanks for being such a gentleman and holding that door". LOL Or if they run ahead of me to get inside I loudly say "Ladies before gentleman, fix your skirt hon your slip is showing" LOL I detest men who do not know how to be a gentleman. If I go on a date with a man and he's not at least somewhat gentlemanly, it's the last. My last b/f was much younger, in his 20's, and he knew how to be a gentleman to a tee. So they are out there... and we ladies should be more picky as to only accept a gentleman when it comes to our men!

I like it when men hold doors etc and think it's charming and polite. I find that younger people seem to do it more, middle aged men being the worst for letting a door go in your ace - especially if you have a push chair or pushing in front of you. I used to have a boyfriend who opened my car door for me, just like my dad would do, it was really sweet, maes you feel specail and cared for. Shrek wouldn't think to do those things, he knows I'm big and ugly enough to look after myself, but he will occasionally offer to carry the heavier shopping and tends to drive on a long distance or in town.

I love it when my husband behaves like a genglemen. It shows me that he respects and honors me. It shows me that he truly loves me and honestly every time he behaves like a gentlemen I love him even more. Now if only i could get him to act like a gentlemen more often things would be blissfull.

I wouldn't say so. My husband is a perfect gentleman and my two sons take after him. As usual in our society, you will always get the bad apple who will let a door swing closed in your face or who wouldn't give up their seat on a bus, but there are still quite a lot of gentlemen out there.

I find chivalry very attractive! It's one of the things that I always pay attention to, notice, and appreciate in men. My ex-boyfriend was very good at it. My current husband doesn't do anything that would be described as chivalry at all, and I miss it big time!

It's not over, it is just hard to find a gentleman. I actually wrote an article about this topic in my college paper. Women don't ever settle on a guy because you feel like he is the best that it will get. If he is not a proper gentleman that is his flaw not a sign of the times. Some of us good guys do still exist.
