The chick in line before you just used it all up before you got here. I think that there is a big misconception that men aren’t chivalrous anymore and they need to bring it back. Well I’m here to tell you, men are still chivalrous, but the actions of your predecessors just might be preventing that man from practicing the good manners and chivalrous acts that were instilled upon him by his parents or whomever. You probably just came along at the wrong time. Cause if you come along after a chick that has no appreciation for the things that the guy has done, opening doors, holding doors and all that other gentlemanly sh!t then all of his chivalrous energy has been expended and since she didn’t appreciate his efforts then he sees no need to replenish that energy or the value of expending any further energy. Ladies I’m telling you, a thank you goes a long way. Let that man know you appreciate the sh!t he’s doing, cause he could damn just unlock the doors and go straight to his door and not open the door for you, he doesn’t HAVE to open the door for you, it’s an election. If it’s raining outside and that man holds his jacket over you so you don’t get your perm wet and runs you to the car and stands out in the rain while you take your time getting in the car and he’s getting soaked, damnit say thank you and offer to take a hot shower with him so he don’t catch pneumonia. You just might re-ignite his love for being chivalrous and reap those rewards OR you could just continue on the same continuum as your predecessor and possibly ruin all future chances of that man ever being chivalrous. So ladies, if you take nothing else from this post, take this away, “SAYING THANK YOU GOES A LONG WAY” and your parents should have already instilled that in YOU.

okay i actually i agree with you but he needs to be more focused on doing right just for being right sometimes, and remember to say thank you to the woman that is doing good for you as well
You know what, I completely agree with you, a man should thank the woman that is doing right by him as well, that just falls under the manners category, not so much chivalry.
Yea, you’re right and so is red velvet HOWEVER, I need him not to blame the next woman for what the last did and know just like I do that just because there are some a$sholes out there on both end of the gender spectrum that this doesnt mean that all of us are a$sholes. Dig his chivalrous tendancies up and present them wholeheartedly to each woman he meets. Now, if she doesnt act right he needs not waste his time. I just think he does himself an injustice if he doesnt present himself in the best light possible.
You’re right about blaming the next person for the previous person’s transgressions, but that is easier said than done. It’s often that we believe that we should have learned a lesson in that previous relationship that we are now trying to implement in that new relationship, cause we feel like we may have gave to much to that previous person so we don’t want to make the same mistake again. I’m working on a post right now about “giving too much” so be on the lookout for it!!!!!!
