What on earth happened to chivalry? (Page 2)

Question

Why aren't people well mainly guys as polite as before, no one holds the door open for girls anymore, some guys can't even offer to help a girl with a heavy bag or whatever, the guys in my college are worse they can't even help a girl pick up a stupid pen ugh! I must say though I have encountered a few guys here and there who still do hold the door or offer a girl a seat but just a few.

lol, how did i know this would be a hot topic. Honestly, im still fairly chivalrous but it usually doesn't get you anywhere with women you are interested in, which is why guys dont bother with it

Okayyyy · Answer

There are some guys left who are still chivalrous, most of the boys I know are, but I think that has to do with Southern manners.

muspelhem_5 · Answer

Some girls get insulted if you do that. You can't accuse guys of being sexist and then expect them to do random favors for you because of your gender basically.

blondfrog · Answer

It died cause it didn't work on women and men gave up cause it would fail.

SomeoneImportant · Answer

It's womens fault. Most acts of chivalry are now seen as a guy trying to get some ass. The power of the pussy has psyched you out.

Ihav2fart · Answer

im old fashioned and try to keep chivalry alive but some girls have that i dont need you to do this or pay for my meal attitude...

chuppachup · Answer

because people are starting to realise that women are capable of being independant. since i view women as equals, i won't give them special treatment.

RationalMale · Answer

Because this is an age of equality! You don't need help. You're equal to us.  Chivalry was something men did for ladies who had far less power and position than them.

Anonymous · Answer

I think it's contextual. Not every girl deserves chivarly in my opinion.

Jersey1 · Answer

Feminism and a breakdown in dating as sex is given freely. Bottom line, women to demand nor really expect respect from men.

DarkHumorRUs · Answer

People started expecting it. And it didn't help guys get that far.

Equality, so it depends on my mood. Somedays I open doors and hold stuff for anyone. If I am grumpy or in a rush then I just help the elderly.

BigbuttLvr · Answer

Someone spread the rumor that women like A-holes. Then it actually worked for some people so blame your fellow women that get stuck in the "bad boy" phase.

the_champ · Answer

Equality, isn't it wonderful, I fail to see the problem. Here, where I'm from, everyone holds the door for everyone, you got older ladies holding it for young dudes and vise versa.

26ukdude · Answer

its called feminism, we can hold the door open for each other, you want equality you got it

singlebee · Answer

Well i don't think women.. need help with small things like pen and doors... i can understand about the heavy bag though...

akadatank44 · Answer

There are tons of guys out there who are old fashioned you just need to find them.

Roadcruiser1 · Answer

I do it, but it seems like most women see it as a sign of weakness, or they are not attracted to it. This is why I get angry when ladies say there are no nice guys when there is...

greycadillacs · Answer

I still aim for door holding and in general helping out my fellow humans as much as possible

KeeperofMee · Answer

I still do it most of the time when I'm not in a hurry.

NordicInvader · Answer

Because back when there was chivalry, ladies acted like ladies.

chrisbigman · Answer

Either it got depressed or beat down by idiotic men.

hypno-trip · Answer

I still do those things but if the girl seems really un-lady like to me then I don't bother...

Anonymous · Answer

Because the girls of today don't fucking deserve it.
