Is Chivalry Dead?

Posted by Hayden Allen-Vercoe on Tue 25th April 2006 at 06:39 AM, Filed in General Dating

I am a 30 year old male who recently opened the door for a lady.  Little known to me she was some sort of feminist and turned round and said “I can do it myself”! 

Shocked is an understatement.  Although this is a one off and I try to open the door to ladies as much as possible, I can’t help but think things are changing and my manners are wasted.  Bruce, Leicester UK.

Bruce, what you experienced is very uncommon.  Unfortunately it does happen now and again and I put it down to changes in society and attitude.  The good news is that the majority of ladies I know and talk to actually can’t wait for a man to show some manners.  Keep doing what you are doing and you will be rewarded, trust me. 

Fellas, take note and try to offer your space on a busy train or bus, and keep opening those doors.  You will stand out from the crowd and create an amazing impression.

Do you think chivalry is dead? .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
