Chivalry isn’t dead. It works pretty good on some girls. ;-)
Honestly though...Opening doors for instance…
Doors used be made of steel or wood. Heavy and a struggle for a woman to manage. So that’s where the custom came from. Modern doors, like the one on my car, they open pretty easy nowadays. Let me know if its too heavy and Ill help out and also Ill skip dinner and get you gym membership.
Look, if a chick is walking over a slippery and icey surface (like tonight) you bet your a$$ I am holding her and helping her to make sure she dosnt bust her a$$ and get hurt or embarrassed on my watch.
Chick needs a hand managing a large purchase at the store into her car or onto the roof of said vehicle, yea, Ill stop and be a human and help her. She obviously needs it.
As far as a$$ kissing my way around a date as some qualification of my gentlemanliness. F^ck that noise. Ill pay because I asked you out. Invitation implication. But open your own f^cking car door. Im not treating you like a princess until you act like one. Sorry, did that sh!t for years and it just does not pay off for anyone. Its bad psycology anyway.
