Drat, posted on the wrong side. I think that's my clue I've posted enough, time to sign-off.

Not true. 1) Every community has a mix, there are genuinely real gentlemen almost everywhere you
go. They may be vastly outnumbered by other men, and they may be ignored by many of the women, but
they do exist regardless. 2) Even in "the good ol' days" when there were supposedly more gentlemen
I think you would find my statement in #1 was true then too. I doubt there was ever a time in
history when gentlemen truly outnumbered the rest. And just because media or culture or history
focuses on chivalry and gentlemen from an era doesn't mean they were the norm. Hey, why do you
suppose chivalrous knights used to travel in the Middle Ages defending people? They did it because
the majority of other guys living in their age were NOT chivalrous, otherwise those knights wouldn't
even have needed to exist. |

The whole concept is stupid and should have died a long time ago because it creates the perception
that women are not capable and another way for men to be on their pedestal and of course women had
bought into it because obviously they did not have a say in the matter. You open the door for a
women because you think it is being a gentlemen but the reality is that men felt women were to weak
to do psychical thing or too fragile to walk across a puddle of water. I'll open a door for a man
just as easily for a women who is behind me because it is about being COURTEOUS and that is what its
all about. I'll replace chivalry for courteous any day. |

ROFL. What I want in a man is someone who listens to me as I listen to him without automatically
fomenting a negative response without even hearing me. I want to be able to say what is on my mind
without being cut off or interrupted. I would appreciate it if he doesn't switch the TV station
while I am watching it. And I would be very happy if he doesn't t withhold information I need to
know in order to come to a logical conclusion, and then complain when I don't know the whole issue
because he has not told me the whole issue. I don't even care if the toilet seat is up. Leave it
up! I just want to be treated as if my personhood was as worthy of respect as his. That is all I
want. And to me that would be the apex of chivalry.
PS No one on this site fits the man of my description. You are all safe--and adorable. |

Chivalry is hardly dead it is simply changing and adapting to new gender roles. We get mad at each
other because societies definitions are much laxer and contradictory and confusing. The upside is
that there is much more freedom for us to decide what is appropriate for ourselves. But we need to
stop blaming the opposite sex for our own problems. In my experience if you consistently have
problems with the opposite sex then at least part of the problem is with you. |

It's not dead, it's not endangered, it's just hiding because "women's lib" has made it afraid to
show it's face. Women want to be treated equally, then they complain that they don't get treated
special. Men who try to be chivalrous often get yelled at for being chauvinists. We can't win so,
for the most part, we don't try.
If women want to know why that is, they ought to look in the mirror. |

It's not extinct. I'm stlll here. It's just endangered.
I think it's great. All I have to do is open the door for a woman and she falls in love with me.
Thanks guys. |

I agree with Chilvary being dead, but there are plenty of gentlemen.
It wasn't only the men who killed chilvary, I would in fact say it is a majority of women who killed
it.
Tinse kind of proves it with her PS note. A joke, or not.
Besides women are the ones who leave information out, hold stuff in and then OUT of nowhere..I swear
to God, out of nowhere..they will flip. Flip. We could be holding hands walking down a beach in the
misty breeze on a cool morning. BAM! Why did we leave the toilet seat up two days ago, why did we
come in two minutes late the other night, why aren't we holding their hand as tight, how come we
didn't say I love you before going to bed last night..blah..blah blah, blah. So I don't want to hear
anything about a man holding any information in..we say what we feel..on the spot. Either that or we
don't care enough about it to with hold it..we just let it go. |
