Search Results: being chivalrous

I might get some backlash for this one and that's ok but I'm curious what a lot of you guys think about this conundrum. I understand that the acts themselves come from being respectful and protective of women, but if a woman herself were to request that you cut back on some of those behaviors would you?

For example:

Say you went on a day long date with someone around town and they insisted on opening the car door for you or holding doors open for you every single time. Assuming she was respectful enough to appreciate the initial gesture but asks that you relax a bit on it or even goes as far as to say it makes her uncomfortable that you insist on it so often, how would you react?

Now clearly two people who would continue to butt heads on this probably wouldn't mesh well in a relationship so we don't need to get into the long term ramifications. Again, I'm just curious to hear how you personally would react. And if you want to go a step further, was there ever a time (s) where you were trying to be chivalrous and it completely backfired on you?
