there's always two sides to this one: chivalry's dead, and no it's not, nothing is changed.
I think it happens less and less now: ladies first, holding doors etc.
this is the equality desired by both sexes, yes?
Any women miss it?
I shall continue to practice it live. Juist because the world gets st00pid, doesn't mean I must follow suit.
Maybe if you go outside and initiate conversation with a woman instead of cultivating dandruff from behind a keyboard you might find out.

so.... I must be an incel, right? that's the response when you dont want to answer a question.
my gf is laughing at your dumshit response :D
WHY do people waste their answers like this?
I don't miss chivalry but I like manners. It's just polite to hold the door open whoever is doing it. And for the person to say thank you for doing so.
That really irks me when you hold a door open or let a car out and they just barge right in without saying a word!
Then I just passive aggressively mutter to myself "you're welcome" đ©
I agree with manners. i do tend to hold a door for anyone if it works out that way.
but, I notice when crossing paths, I generally STOP to allow women to pass, and not stop (if I am ahead) if passing another male. its not a dominance thing, it's an "i was there first thing". Yet, I'd rather respect a women above and beyond that, stop and let them pass. I consider it "nice", maybe also chivalrous, but not "i look down on you as a dainty weaker woman" or however it gets interpretted now.
Same, I appreciate good manners and people that move through the world with an air of mutual respect for one another. But it just take one rude selfish a-hole to throw it all of course and ignite a chain reaction of thuggish behavior.
shareCan you give me a hand with the shopping
shareI'm chivalrous all the time, so I can't say I miss it.
shareIt's nice to be nice.

shareBut every time I try to be nice, it often results in this kind of response: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzrL2FsbXfg
shareAgree
shareI believe âchivalryâ still exists. I can be very nasty on occasion but only when warranted, mostly I like to be kind and I have faith that many people feel the same way.
And itâs not just Men who are honest, decent and kind. Plenty of Ladies are upstanding people too.
Maybe the idea of brave Knights performing chivalrous acts in battle is a bit outdated but surely we can hold open a door and say âpleaseâ and âthank youâ to strangers when we are out and about.
Common curtesy will hopefully never go out of fashion.
âCommon curtesy will hopefully never go out of fashion.â
I hope it wonât also. Around the areas I frequent, doors are almost always held open for others. âYes and no maâamâ is still used often so from my perspective it seems like all these âchangesâ happen on the internet more than in real life.
Do you see men changing all that much in your day to day life?
Everything just goes smoother when we are polite, chivalry or good manners wonât go away, I feel like most people are decent sorts and always will be.
Maybe Iâm very fortunate but the majority of Men I work or interact with are fine fellows. They show up to the job on time, they keep tidy houses, have well behaved kids and dogs, they respect their womanâŠyou are probably onto something, the internet is loaded with horrible stories about nonsense and I call bullshit on 99% of it.
I will GENERALLY see less manners and such in larger cities, but I do see it. Usually just males acting like jerks or assholes to man and women. But, SOMETIMES, women act bad too.
In the country and small towns I frequent, nearly everyone acts humane, unless hanging at the local watering hole and drinking too much. :D
I live in a town far out in the woods, it is named after two Dutch brothers from the 1600âs who made peace with The Wappinger tribe of Indians. They made a big farm and raised babies with their women on their homesteads.
Itâs a paradise here, no streetlights, the packs of coyotes howl at night, the owls call to each other from tree line to tree lineâŠwild bunnies raid my garden but I donât mindâŠItâs Mother Nature Brother.
I work in The Bronx an hour and a half SouthâŠitâs a real mess. I feel bad for the reasonable poor folks that live there, a lot of them are sweet and decent immigrants but they live in buildings full of criminals and maniac junkies.
I couldnât imagine raising a child in that dog shit and dirty needle ridden neighborhood.
Lucky you to live in such a nice place.
shareItâs so quiet here, just the Squirrels and Chipmunks on the lawn, a few larger animals moving through sometimes.
A little neighbor girl showed me a phone pic of a heavy Black Bear that got into her Momâs garden two houses down.
We can see lots of stars at night but oddly enough not the Milky WayâŠIâve seen that a couple times up in Maine and Vermont but not around here in the Lower Hudson River ValleyâŠtoo much âlight pollutionâ from large local towns.
A little too much light pollution here, too. I really enjoy my drive to visit my sons in Grand Forks. Out in the middle of nowhere in the upper Great Plains is good for stargazing.
shareMy Lady and I rented a few cabins up in New England and the sky view was always amazing, it can really make you feel small, but it was beautiful.
Then the stinging Flies would come out of the brush and really tear you up.
Those bugs up in New England are total psychos!
Biting bugs can make it miserable, for sure.
