does chivalry still exist in today's society?

Depends on what you mean, so absolutely yes, and positively no.

do men still play the role of men when it comes on to dating or a relationship... I like to be independent but at the same time I expect a man to assume his role as a man

So I'll cut the grass and take out the garbage.. ok and slay the occasional dragon. Lol

and you prepare the meals and keep the house tidy.. and lower your hair down from your bedroom chamber tower . once in a while so we can knock boots..
and I think we have a deal

Oh hell yeah

Only when it's validated.


Mostly as they define it, either through immediate situational choice or responding through learned experience.


Good luck with that.

You're going to mostly attract guys that are either going to be:
1. Independent but at the same time expect a woman to assume her role as a woman, as he defines it.

2. Those attracted to independent women who expect him to live up to a role she defines, i.e. codependent men wanting her to tell him who he has to be in order to get what he wants from her. And the less clear she is on it, the more she's going to be judged as playing mind games and not knowing what she wants.

I'm still not sure what you mean, but I'm getting the feeling you are referring to the old fantasy version of all this, which never actually existed, except in Hollywood-style stories.

Where the man does all the hard work, pays all the bills, opens all the doors, treats the woman as a near invalid physically at some times...making no demands on her whatsoever, eagerly and openly displaying his unending lust for her, but only in officially approved ways...all the while, working his tukas off to jump to fulfill her every whim.

And so on.

If you mean instead, are there men who know what they are about and what they want from the world and from a mate, and who will communicate directly but gracefully, and can be absolutely trusted to be honorable at all times?

Then yes, absolutely. They are harder to recognize than the other kind, however.

I am still confused a bit since what your expectations of how a man should act is going to be different than mine.

chivalry in the literal sense of knighthood has never left. The Romantic version Hollywood and victorian romance novels have given it never existed in the first place.

So it would help to define what the word means to you exactly...

"Chivalry"? No.

But if what I read on the internet is true. And if it's on the internet it's got to be true right? There are millions of "nice guys" out there.

Chivalry is d-e-double d, dead.


The end.

I'm old fashioned. Please know how to use a power drill and hold open the door, please.

Amen doesn't matter if we know or not..
We do appreciate it..
