Comments welcome!!!

You're not looking for chivalry. You're looking for a slave with money.

Offer a woman a seat on the bus or train.

Skip the place in a queue ... not sure, did I spell it right. In front of the supermarkt checkout, something like that

I believe many of those things that were done for women in the "olden" days have gone. Mainly because women wanted equality.

But I still like to do certain things for a lady, it depends on the situation.

I was bought up to respect women and many of those things became second nature. I don't think courtesy goes out of style in any situation but it's becoming (already has I think) a selfish world now.

I think women get a raw deal in many countries. They maybe the weaker sex but they are still humans and should be able to make their own decisions.

Whoops.. someone kicked the soap box from under me..

I also feel men get the "cold shoulder" on many occasions as well. I mean some women can't say thank you either.

Is there anything better than a chivalrous man?

We didn’t have much extra money for gift giving, but my husband did many of the other things out of habit. Those actions were the best gifts anyway.

One of my favorites is opening the car door for you when approaching the car together.

Another is a hand on the small of your back when entering a room. That tiny gesture can make you smile all night.

Thanks I liked your responses. You seem to put thought into it. For the most part I agree.

Yes, many kindnesses of chivarly doesn't cost money!

No It's not a slave. It is All Voluntary acts.

have to play devils advocate on this one
Females want equal rights , then yell about Chivalry is dead

any ways <shrug>
ya left out male walks next to the woman , between traffic and her

let the lady go first (unless its a dangerous area)

never EVER hit a woman

getting stuff off a shelf if they cant reach it (now people youtube it where someone walks up and grabs something and ignores the other person)

after a long trip and both of you are about to explode , let the lady go first

and i still have problems with opening doors for people since most doors are auto open

i was raised mainly by lady's, it just seams normal to me <shrug> but have gotten yelled at by lady's for doing stuff like that now (i am a woman i can do it , or you think i am to frail to do that)

I imagine all this is true for the most part AussieGuy. Equality for women doesn’t keep most women from doing most of the cooking or Mothering, so why should it make men give up the practice of exhibiting a little chivalry now and then? That seems equal enough.

I think a lot of men do exhibit chivalry without even thinking about it but the OP seems to want a lap dog.

Exactly!

Googled it for the definition...

chiv·al·ry
ˈSHivəlrē/
noun
noun: chivalry

the medieval knightly system with its religious, moral, and social code.
historical
knights, noblemen, and horsemen collectively.
"I fought against the cream of French chivalry"
the combination of qualities expected of an ideal knight, especially courage, honor, courtesy, justice, and a readiness to help the weak.

-------------------------------------------------

Chivalry according to the definition is still very much alive. I see it all the time from all over the World. In my line of work guests come from all over the place, they show a lot of these traits.

And I've seen it with men in the forums... being courteous, showing honor and trying to help others.

You are so right, many women do that!

I agree with you Jan..it works both ways. Women do a lot for there man..and men in general but much of it goes unrewarded by that I me a thank you. I and I think many men do appreciate what here lady does for them and vice versa. It's the old saying.. give and take.

I think your right Joe, it's common courtesy.

you made Your comments already!
