Is Chivalry dead?
I didnt know what this word was till this morning. A man wrote me a message asking me on a date and asked if I believed in Chivalry. Im thinking to myself "What the hell is that, a religion or something?"
HAH! Little did I know, its something that Ive longed for many relationships ago.
I know I know, Im only 21 years old but still this is something every girl longs for. From playing Barbie's to playing house, to going to Prom or on your first date.
If your like I was and have no idea what this means, let me give you an idea. So your sitting in traffic and trying to find something to keep your mind off the annoying stop and go. You see a young couple, just kissing away. They seem to be in the honey-moon stage. She is so happy holding his hand, its as if she is skipping down the road. She couldnt be more giddy! This couple is so cute and you can tell nothing in the world means anything to them right now. Well they are getting ready to go into a coffee shop and you see him all but break his neck to get in ahead of her and let the door slam—I mean, physically slonk her—on her shoulder. You want to send her a telepathic message to turn tail, hail a cab, and end that date immediately. But she doesnt. She grimaced and limped in after him.
Chivalry in short means being a gentleman, having manners. I dont know about you but that is one of the sexiest traits a man can have. I think this way because it is lacked so much today in the dating world. Even married men dont know what it means to be a polite gentleman. If you, as a man, feel like your pride is being taken away by doing this, your a big fat cowardly looser.
Ladies on your next date I want you to try something. Stop at the restaurant door and wait. And wait. And wait some more until he gets the drift. Same thing at the table pausing for a chair to be pulled out. Same thing at the car door. In a way your doing your part by reminding guys or your teaching them if theyve never done it in the first place. Some women like you, need to demand a higher standard or treatment. Your not being bitchy, snotty or snobby. Its called being a lady!!
Great Blog.. Chivarly went dead with some but not all... another thing. Its not about what you "teach". It can not be taught, it has to be in the blood. If you have to wait and wait and wait at the door.. GET THE CLUE! Not worth your time!
ReplyDelete(I know is hurt to hear this) But ask my girl the last time she opened a door, closed a door, pushed her chair in, got cold (yes guys, it means giving up your jacket to her!), or when the last time she had to walk across the snow packed parking lot to the car!!
Guys think its the big things that girls fall for! Its no!! Its those little kisses on the forhead before bed, the making sure she doesnt forget her cell phone in the morning, leaving that small note in her jacket pocket, the occasonal flower, the cleaning of the dishes or the watching the kids for a few minutes!
Amanda, seriously love your blogs!! and dont give up on all guys.
I do challenge all girls to try something.. You know that amazingly hot girl thats with that odd, not so good looking guy.. you wanna know why? The odd looking guy has nothing to lose, he actually asked her out. Showed her what a women is suppose to feel like.. So my challenge to all girls. Dont push the "not so good looking guy" away.. give him a chance!!
