Real Men are Chivalrous

The past three days I have really noticed something that I just HAVE to share here- the modern day boy has NO CLUE of the importance of chivalry in their day-to-day lives. Like really, they have zero idea. In fact, they don't even know what the word means- let me clarify it. Webster says that "Chivalry" is the sum of ideal qualifications of knighthood including generosity, courtesy, and valor. Now, thats a bit much with the whole "knighthood bit", but the base definition  is clear enough. To bad guys don't seem to see the value of it. This conversation has come up three times this week with different groups of people, and every time the guys are all like "Chivalry!?!? Whatever..." But heres the thing. All the girls I have talked to all agree- a guy earns MAJOR points in a girls mind for being chivalrous. I'm not talking crazy out-of-the way stuff either. I'm talking little stuff like letting a girl go in front during the lunch line, stacking her chair for her at the table in the cafeteria, or actually telling her that she looks nice or did a good job or whatever. And can I just say, there is nothing that is more attractive to a girl than a guy that holds the door open for her. Is that really so hard? Nope. Not in the least. You have nothing to lose, you can only gain from chivalry. In fact, guys that are chivalrous are usually considered nicer, more respectful, and "better guys" than those that are to lazy to be chivalrous. Now on the opposite side, guys that go over the top are just as bad as the guys that are unchivalrous. Girls aren't invalids after all... Just find the happy balance! And girls, accept the chivalry. I am one who likes to be independent, but accepting the gesture is half of it right there. So fellas', thats the challenge for the week- CHIVALRY! Real men are chivalrous, after all.
