As long as I live it will be well alive! I think it's the manliest thing ever! I like to hold doors, to pay the bill, to be respectuful to her, etc. I once runned 5 min in heavy rain just to get the car closer to the restaurant we were eating. We both forgot our umbrella and I didn't want her to get wet.
This is not because I want anything from her, I like to do it. Makes me feel like "I am good"! No matter what she thinks, I feel like a gentleman and I like the feeling! Makes me feel like a man.
That is not to say that if my girlfriend pays for our dinner and holds the door for me I will freak out, of course not! But I am the one that is going to run in the rain not her, unless I have a broken leg.
Guys say it is some made up stuff to please women. Some girls say it opresses them, somehow...
To me is just being polite, helpful, respectful and a boss ass man!

Ya because of equal rights, if you women want men to cater to you like men used to then you better cater to men like women used too, it’s gender roles and it’s obsolete in modern society
Chivalry, for the most part, was the opposite of the Geneva Convention; it was all about making a profit on war. The image of an honorable knight saving a fair maiden from a dragon is not much more than sheer fantasy, and most of it seems to stem from the Victorian era; the Victorians, in the midst of the Industrial Revolution, looked at the Middle Ages through rose colored glasses as an idyllic place of pre-industrial innocence, projecting their own ideals of men and women onto the knight and the damsel in distress. A real knight in shining armor was actually more like a trained assassin and the local rapist rolled into one and the damsel in distress, a helpless shrinking violet, never really existed.
Not for me, my boyfriend still treats me highly and vice versa. When he opens my door I still lean over and open his when he walks around. And we both split bill's or pay for one another in general. Its equal efforts put in and it's all I allow. I think it's dumb to not want to try to at least be charming or try your best for one another.

Chivalry will not be dead as long as I am alive!
The original meaning of chivalry was "good at mounted combat" for knights on horseback armys. I do fully enjoy the irony how that word of "chivalry" evolved. From Mounted horseback combat, to gentlemen behavior, to sex joke "mounted combat in bed" today.
It's funny and no one can deny me this simple pleasure.I argue Chivalry was never a thing... men claimed to do all that stuff only because they know that the woman would not speak unless she was spoken too, stayed in the kitchen to make sandwiches and fetch beer, and understand they were property not people... but hey it's a goood front you when you have that psychological power over an entirely different sex
They sure try to kill it, not when I'm on the block, I see guys sitting on the trains while women and elderly people have travel standing, no one gives its place in a line, no one is nice anymore really, chivalry is not only towards women, children and elderly people deserve all our kindness too
Chivalry is a set of legal, and martial codes used by medieval knights. So unless you've seen some knights riding around on horses I'd say so.
Are there still men who are polite to women? Yes, that's just good manners. You should be polite to everyone.Yes and women killed it.
You got what you said you wanted. Enjoy.No not with me anyway. I will hold a door open for a lady, give her my jacket if she is cold etc. It might have its downside thought. I also dont like to see a lady drinking from a pint glass but there you go. Thats me
No it’s just rare. In all fairness though a lot of women don’t act like ladies anymore (some still do), so the men feel they shouldn’t be treated as such. I don’t think it’s hard to understand why
Dead and buried. The feminists killed for the rest.
If people are consistent on their views about gender equality it should be.
If a woman is really incapable of opening doors, pulling out chairs, and paying her half of the bill, I don't want to date a child anyways. I expect women to be functioning and capable adultsKind of, but I prefer it that way. I don’t want a guy opening doors for me or paying for my food just because I’m a girl.
I see it less amongst my generation, and more amongst older men. Though I appreciate when guys show chivalry. It's flattering, and I would do the same for them, out of politeness.
Chivalry was a code of honor. Why should men honor a woman who doesn't honor herself? its tricky. Men dont even care about doing whats right. And society has made Good, weak and Bad strong
Its all reversed nowadaysLol. Y’all complaining should really visit the netherlands. No man will hold the door open for you simply because you’re a woman.
I’m old so I’m grandfathered in on chivalry, lmao. I hold doors and pull out chairs and all that, just how I was raised to treat women.
Yeah, but you know what? I'm glad it's dead. It was cringey enough seeing seeing these beta pussy ass lookin feminine little boys trying to act like a man.
I sure as hell hope so since its both a lie and sexist at the same time.
I don't know, the guys I've dated have been chivalrous. But in this day and age I wouldn't be surprised if a guy doesn't open the car door for me.
I’m gonna open the door for the right guy.., and watch his reaction... 😁! I wonder if it will make him feel unmanly 😂!
No, even toug I'm 13 I still open the door for random women, give up my seat for them etc... however it's women who killed chivalry. And also secularism killed chivalry, real chivalry I mean, like medieval knights
