Is Chivalry Dead

Wow...that is so cool that you still practice doing these things....as a woman it sure makes you feel special with someone holds a door for you...or opens one too...glad there are guys like you out there!

Unfortunately it is dying. I open doors for ladies and give my seat on the bus but that seems like common sense. Those are some of the only ones I know of and do.

It's still there though now more rare. Those of us who still do such things actually get punished for it at times because ladies feel they should do it themselves. It's not always accepted gracefully.

I believe that it still exists...I mean, I still see men do it here in our country. Even my husband still gives out his seat for old ladies and pregnant women. So don't threat menace730...it still exists.

I guess there are still some guys doing those things which our parents have thought us.These practice are mostly common in the provinces or in rural areas but in the cities where almost all people are in hurry I guess it's not a common sight.There are still some though, but mostly others don't.

Menace, I am SO glad you are still doing these things for women. I am regularly disappointed in the lack of manners in men AND women. It makes me sad to read so many comments from people saying that women will be offended or that we would rather do it ourselves to prove our equality. I am by nature a VERY independent woman, but I appreciate politeness too. I don't think that there is any excuse to not be polite to someone, no matter their gender, age, race, etc. Men, start opening doors and being chivalrous, PLEASE! Believe me, it will be appreciated :)
