HELL YES.
When a man opens every door for me and when I'm getting out of a car holds his hand out to help me. It's so hot.

I was dating this guy, let's call him Javier. Javier would open the car door for me everywhere we went at all times and help me out. He would open every door I walked through. He would even hold my purse. Let me add that was masculine AF and definitely the leader/alpha and he did all of these things 24/7. He would walk me to my car... just always very chivalrous and it never stopped. It was so sexy to me and I really loved it. He didn't just call me a princess, he treated me like it

[Candy_Princess]

I think chivalry can get offensive/annoying sometimes. Sometimes it seems like people don't think I can open doors. When I do open a door for a guy a lot of times they try to take the door from me. That get's especially annoying when I tell them that "it's okay," I can hold open the door and they go, "No, no, I have to." Then they try to take the door from me. It's dumb how many times this has happened, and it's really annoying. If I try to take a door from a guy I get refused. There's also the problem of guys appologizing to me if they don't hold open the door. It's fine, I can open a door myself.

Nah.

Chivalry is an outdated social code where certain expectations are set on both sexes and keep them in a box.

Give me a genuine and good hearted person over someone who simply checks off codes of expected social behavior and is a jerk inside.

[NightOwl_23]

Im a good hearted and genuine person, I do things like holding the door for women and letting them get on the bus first.

[NightOwl_23]

Just because some guys who do this are sexist and misogynistic doesn't mean we all are.

[NightOwl_23]

I do things like that because, I want to and, I was raised to be polite.

[pineappleshortcare]

The concept of chivalry, though, isn't just being a decent human to everyone.

[NightOwl_23]

True

[kaylaS91]

I like being treated with courtesy, sure. Though I don't like calling it 'chivalry' per se as everyone, not just women, should be treated in a courteous, respectful manner unless they do something to deserve otherwise.

[Mexicoman101]

Every once in a while you'll get one of those horrible bitches who go 'I don't need a man to open my door for me' but I think largely yeah they do. Its just more rare because men are becoming more self centered and feminists are discouraging women to trust men who try nd employ it because they say its 'benevolent sexism'.

[SalilP]

Actually what you say is true. Feminists are discouraging women to trust men.
Here's a example.

[Mexicoman101]

Yeah, see, there's that.

[FatherJack]

Having been assaulted by a young woman , for the " crime " of holding a door open ( seriously !! ) , also I notice women ( more so younger ) rarely even acknowledge a kind gesture , ironically it is other men that say " thanks " in whatever form far more , so from personal experience , would say no.

[Jemini_Crocket]

I love chivalry. I think it's really nice from guys unless they're forcing it like it seems opening the door is the most important thing ever etc. I've seen such things to happen.

Unfortunately feminism and the weird idea of utter equality killed it.

[Dim1213]

It depends on a lot of things like the girl, if she is your freind, or if she likes you. Usually I'm just limited to letting girls go first for food, and grabbing a door for the group. The ladies here don't like being helped otherwise.

[Peachyt]

Women love chivalry. Having a door held open for me etc makes me feel more ladylike and the guy seem more masculine. What I don't like is when guys expect being chivalrous to earn them sex or girlfriends. You can be the most chivalrous guy in the world and still, no girl owes you sex.

[mikemx55]

They do.

[CubsterShura]

These little acts of men respecting women is what encourages others to respect women too. It's a necessity in today's world.

[cth96190]

Too late.
Feminism killed chivalry decades ago.
If a man extends any traditional European social courtesies to a woman today he does not know whether or not he will receive a tirade of abuse from a Feminist.
Chivalry is dead and women killed it.

[BrittBratt2416]

I do, it's very kind for a man to hold the door for you, or let you go first etc. I think it's sweet, not something to be upset about.

[TacosRAwesome]

I'm a bit neutral on this. If he reaches a door first, its nice if he holds it open for me. But I'd do the same if I reach a door first.

[1Anon]

I really love it when he is chivalrous as it makes me feel like he cares about me and loves me.

[Bleh-___-]

Yesss it's really hot and it instantly brings up the guy's attractiveness level.

[metalsucks2]

ikr if some fat bloke or whatever guy who doesn't meet your standards opens the door for you it's so hot.

[Bleh-___-]

Realistically there's a limit. If he's a 1/10 obviously being a gentleman won't bring him up to a 10/10 and make me attracted to him, although I'll still think it's sweet.
But for example when I was on a bus and a 5/10 guy got up and offered me his seat it brought him up to like a 6-7 and I was attracted to him more.

[metalsucks2]

Exactly women are shallow.

[Bleh-___-]

Bro you're delusional if you think anyone, men or women, would go out with someone they're not attracted to. Every romantic relationship needs some level of physical attraction.

[metalsucks2]

Then why do you women keep preaching about "we don't care about looks, we care about personality, just be confident"?

[Bleh-___-]

Take it with a grain of salt. Personality and confidence affects our attraction to a guy more than a guy's attraction to a girl because context matters to us. But that doesn't mean you can take a guy who she's not attracted to in the slightest, have him act a certain way, and then she'll be attracted to him. It only works to a certain degree.
And you can't say women are shallow when both genders take appearance into consideration when choosing to date someone. It's universal.

[metalsucks2]

Yes but women are more shallow than men. A fat woman, skinny woman, black woman you name it can easily get laid because every man has a "type" but women only like white, six foot tall, six pack ab, big penis and rich douchebags.

Thats why just as you admit some people like myself will remain a virgin for the rest of my life because I do not meet the standards women place on men.

[Bleh-___-]

Ok you're talking out of personal anger now and making bold generalizations that aren't true. I can see your mind is set and you're approaching this very emotionally so no point in discussing it further.

[metalsucks2]

You're the one saying if a guy is not a 10/10 then no woman will date him.

[Bleh-___-]

I did not say that

[HeatNation1]

Of course they do. Women will jump at any opportunity to be coddled and put on a pedestal by society for absolutely no reason at all other than having a vagina

[RachelleDraws]

I don't really like it from men, I feel as if they're trying on impress me or are attracted to me. I'm a lesbian. I don't want guys.
From a girl however, I am always thankful.

[Arii355]

Yes of course, but only if it's because the person truly wants to be chivalrous and not because it's forced by social norms.

[blehz]

Then that's not chivalry, that's just him being a nice guy. Chivalry is a "knightly code" which in itself IS a gender expectation... But I agree :) I'm good with someone who's nice to be because he's a nice guy, but I voted no cuz that's not chivalry.

[simple-question]

I like it when women enjoy chivalry so much that they hold the door for me. Especially that buzz cut feminist that held the door for me the other day.

[StickStickity13]

It's really stupid, because it doesn't get you women. It's a waste of effort

[timesaver573]

i think if its a normal woman and not a femist type then yes

[chrismarie5589]

Chivalry died with feminism

[TheSniper]

Women love chivalry... unless they are triggered feminists of course.

[April10]

Yes, I appreciate it very much

[backtoblackkkk]

I love chivalry but unfortunately it's dying!
