I agree with 4thegreatergood. Chivalry is not dead. My mom and dad taught me how to respect a woman and I do it with joy. Things like opening a door, pulling out a chair, offering my hand to help a woman up, standing when she comes to the table, taking off or tipping my hat...all of those things add a little spice to life and I enjoy them.

I'll do all these little 'chivalrous' things for anyone, regardless of gender. In the event that I do ever have someone attempt to chew me out for holding the door for them, they're going to discover that I'm the owner of a pair of very functional lungs and a bad attitude in a box. It hasn't happened yet though.

Mind you, one event comes to mind where I was told that everything in the world was my fault, solely because I'm a man. The woman was on a tirade anyways, and I happened to be nearby. I just told her that the world is fine, and its little issues were due to idiots like her, and then I resumed enjoying my existence.

I do sometimes question if gender equality has gone too far when I see an institution like a women-only gym though.

If chivalry (and its cousin, romance) is dead, the most likely explanation is that such behavior has been devalued by the intended recipients. Making sexual relationships, or casual sex, easy to get makes the posturing and bowing more trouble than it's worth. Why go out of one's way to be a gentleman if being a complete jackass seems to pay off just as frequently?

On the other hand it might be just as stupid to apply game theory to something as un-game-able as the interaction of the sexes.

I'd say you're going a touch too far, but if archaic chivalry is your thing, then good for you. I'm always a little surprised when I'm on the receiving end of such chivalrous behaviour, but it's much like other little things that we rarely see these days, like smiling and nodding at people in the street.

What kind of hat do you wear?

Well, yes. Wymen have destroyed the boundaries for sexism so much, that it only exists for males now. Minorities are the majority.

Wow, I honestly didn't think this thread would keep going after it died 2 weeks ago. Minor necromancy ftw?

There is a simple solution to the whole wymen problem etc etc. I don't remember if i posted this in my last post in this thread so a'll repeat it.

"I don't discriminate between race, creed, sex or age. I hate everyone equally."

It works very well in general, duly noted it dos get modified from time to time to include my natural niceness (some unfortunate nasty bitches and asshole men tended to make me the monster some people perceive me to be).

In general I'm a pretty nice guy but honestly, if you expect people to A) be chivalrous or B) be grateful for said chivalry...then you are going to be disappointed more often than not.

Personally I don't see why some people (both men an women because it does happen to both) get so annoyed when people give them unwanted attention. Sorry to break it to you again coz no doubt someone has told you this already) but if you dress nice people WILL notice and WILL comment. Simple cause and effect logic. If you don't want to be noticed...don't dress to be noticed. If you want to dress nice, quit complaining about people noticing.

Unlike you some people actually have some trouble getting noticed by the opposite sex no matter how hard they try to look good so please stop hogging all the attention.

As a small note like many people i do hold the door for everyone, not for long, a second or so, because i know how much of a pain in the ass it is to get a door dropped in my face when I'm right behind someone.

But yeah, in short:

With actions come reactions. Please stop being surprised&annoyed by this.
If you want equality be prepared to be verbally harassed like men do to each other.
And finally, Don't discriminate, hate equally. After all, Everyone deserves to be hated the same way for the same actions.

Although I believe in basic courtesy and being polite, if somebody does that, they deserve to be smacked, or yelled at.

I hold the door open for everybody, and if some chick said that to me I would then ask her: so you think men and women should share the same JAIL?
