    Not sure. If it is, women only have themselves to blame. The jerks get the girls and the gentlemen get ignored, so it's little wonder that many men choose to be jerks. I've lost count of how many times I've held a door open for a woman and she's turned and scowled at me like I just pissed on her kitten.

    A juxtaposing question is; Are women still womanly / feminine enough to be DESERVING of chivalry? For men to be chivalrous, It has to work both ways.

    "Chivalry is dead... and women killed it." This video was styled after Dave Chappelle's famous quote. The major priorities of the MRM include fixing the misandric education system, bias divorce laws, and establishing brotherhood... but it is also about implementing genuine equality. Women broke with tradition a long time ago and too many men are still holding on to it.

    Nowadays, even commercials, TV shows and movies often portray men as inept fools, and women as the stronger, smarter ones, who sigh and roll their eyes over having to put up with THEM!

    This is a VERY disturbing and dangerous trend.

    There is an obvious attempt by the media to feminize men and masculate women in our society, and we need fight to change those new steriotypes as much as possible, BEFORE they are just accepted as normal!

    How is this done? By NOT being influenced by those warped characters in the media - in other words - by going back to the tried-and-true traditional male and female roles.

    Despite the propaganda that women's libbers will try to feed you - It really WAS the better way!

    But it's on life support. Chivalry is a learned behavior, there are not enough fathers out there in homes, teaching this character trait.

    Somewhat: Equal Rights killed it.
    I'm not trying to be a jerk; Men were taught back in the day that a woman was weak and could not provide for her own welfare and defense. As a result, the men began to treat their women as little more than curvy, crippled children.

    Nowadays, we are all very aware of the fact that a woman is a man's true equal. She does not mate because she "needs to" - rather, our unions are made of 'want'. My woman is strong and proud and both of her hands work just fine. She doesn't need me to open doors for her like she's too weak (or stupid) to pull a friggin door.

    You don't get it? Chivalry is not about seeing a woman as weaker or less than a man, it's the opposite, it's about respecting a woman and showing that through acts of courtesy. What you were describing sound more like patronizing, which is wrong. All of this is just my opinion and why I attempt to be a gentleman when ever possible.

    Don't get me wrong; The question was whether or not chivalry was dead, not whether or not I still practice it. Yeah, I still find myself wanting to open doors and do little things for her, but she does the same for me - and neither of us ever asks or feels entitled. Perfect, in my opinion. :)

    Sorry about jumping to the wrong conclusion. It sounds like you have a real good thing, give and be given does sound like the perfect relationship.

    Depends how you define it. I don't swear in front of a girlfriend; I try to hold doors open for her; and I pay for stuff, whenever appropriate.
  • akhippie Jack 2012/08/13 21:37:29

    What you described sounds like a pretty good definition. Does your girlfreind appreciate your effort to be a gentleman?

    Yeah, I think so. Recently lost the girlfriend, unfortunately, but I'd always behave like that, whether the lass wanted it or not; it's just something I believe in.

    treating me with respect is nice. but I accept kindness as a form of respect, not "chivalry". it's dumb.

    Maybe I'm treating chivalry and respect as the same. For me opening a door for you and pulling up to the door so you don't have to walk that far , helping with your coat just general things that I treat my wife . For me it's about love and respect .

    Is it in a highly highly challenged state? Yes.You have to be a lady regardless of circumstance to expect a gentleman it's that simple.I expect and deserve nothing less,nothing is up for negotiation on that.Problem being many don't know what either entail.

    I know chivalry is out there. It's just that it's never been something I've experienced. I'm the chivalrous one when I'm with a guy xD and it's pretty awkward because I just sit there kinda waiting for them to do something chivalrous,but no. that doesn't happen

    Mostly. People tend to forget that there is a lot more to the codes of chivalry than being extra polite and nice to women. Next time you see a knight riding to do the bidding of his liege lord we'll talk about the state of chivalry.

    The friendzone is just where girls put good men until they become women and get tired of playing with boys.
    How can you truly be someone's lover if you're not first their friend anyways!?

    nope, that's where we put our friend that are not attractive, or that don't fit with us... and the guys who think like you, they are annoying

    A lover is the upgrade of a best friend, but we would have sex with them even at the start

    Being called annoying for thinking that women should be treated with respect... That's a first.
  • xcheshi... THB306 2012/08/10 14:10:59
    xcheshirecat
    nope, that you are due something just because you treat them nice, and to think that they are stupid to not be with guys like you but with the guys you don't like

    That attractiveness shouldn't count, in personnality, and in looks
  • THB306 xcheshi... 2012/08/10 19:55:24
    THB306
    You are mistaken. I am kind and chivalrous because I was raised to be that way. I expect nothing from it! I know what kind of guy you're talking about, and I hate those idiots, and I am not one of them. And a girl can be with whoever they want.
    I am perpetually single because I am not outgoing or engaging enough. I always stay known as the kind stranger because I'm too timid to ever speak up.
