Chivalry lives!

Melvin's Chivalry definition:
Treating a girl with respect and honoring them, and not expecting to get anything in return.

I have been hearing for quite some time that chivalry is dead. I don't believe it one bit. I think there are tons of guys out their that are chivalric. It is just modern chivalry. Do you women want us to be so chivalric that we cut off our left ear and give it to you for a sign of love like Van Gogh? If you do, then chivalry is dead...to you.

As a man, here is a short list of what I do to be chivalric (among many other things):

• Opening doors
• Walking girls to there cars if they want me to
• Comforting them when they are sad
• Listening to them

In defense of the women, men, you can still open a door for a woman and still treat her as your equal. If you are holding a door open for a girl while you walk through first, at least you are being half-chivalric.

In contrast, women, you can at least seem grateful for some chivalry. A lot of guys want to know that their chivalry isn't going unnoticed. And if you're a girl and you feel that having a door opened for you is demeaning your equality, you're wrong. On the contrary, it actually is a sign of respect and honor.



*short side note: joking around with a girl and teasing them a little is not mean or cruel. In some ways, it is flirting.
