Why secretly? No ways!1 I just love chivalrous men. I have always fantacised chivalry and the romance which lies in it, is unsurpassable. When a man opens the car door for a woman, or leads her to the ball room or even pamper her like a princess - it's more of his gentlemanliness or romantic disposition. I find no justication in ruling those out in the name of liberalism. Come on, liberal women have greater issues, I thought. They do not know what they are losing! Having said this, I think most ladies enjoy this, be it blatantly or secretly. smiles..

i a modern woman lol. and i love chivalry..even though its rare to find nowadays. but i love a man that treats a lady like a lady, opens doors etc etc. i dont understand why some women get upset or offended by such acts..they are being stupid in my opinion. they should grab hold of such a gentleman and keep him! they are rare finds and worth the effort!

I don't want to be treated a certain way because of my gender. If someone happens to be near a door and they open it, if I have my arms full (I'd do the same thing for them!) then that is OK, but if someone is going to treat me a certain way because of my gende, they can jut skip it!!

I consider myself to be a modern liberated woman. But that does not mean that I do not appreciate good manners. I like my husband to carry heavy bags for me or open the car door for me (which he does often) but on the other hand, if he (or anyone else) is coming through a door behind me, I will hold the door open. Good manners are not just for men, they're for everyone and it never hurts to show nice manners or to help a fellow person with such small things.

I am a modern liberated woman, very independent and strong minded but I definitely love chivalry and I give very high points to someone who demonstrates that chivalry is still not extinct. And i am not secretive about my loving chivalry.It's such a good feeling when you are the recipient of a chivalrous act or even when you are just a witness to a chivalrous act. I have always loved reading historical romances especially about the knights and lords and dukes etc and their chivalry and i guess I am a romantic at heart even if i am a modern liberated woman.

Yes it is always nice to have the best of everything.Why to be choosy and miss a lot of fun in life?

It's not just a matter of being choosy. It's more a matter of appreciating the good things in life that are appreciated by everyone (I suppose) such as good manners and the basic rules of courtesy.

I am not sure if what I just wrote posted or not so I am sorry if I am repeating myself. I don't expect chivalry but I won't deny it either. If a man wants to be chivelrous (spelling?) to me then I will gladly accept his kindness. But I am apt not to notice if the typical guy walking in to say Walmart at the same time as me is not chivelrous.

I don't expect it, but I don't deny it either. If a man wants to be a gentleman I have no problem accepting his chivalry. But if no chivalry is given I apt not to notice.
