The death of chivalry…and women killed it!

In other news today, Chivalry was violently murdered by Jealousy, Contempt, Shame, Rudeness and Immaturity. Chivalry was mourned by no one, as many believed it’s been dead longer than what it was.
According to witnesses, the attacks have been often and numerous, and finally Chivalry couldn’t bear the abuse anymore.
Chivalry is survived by its relatives Politeness, Manners and Courtesy, though reports say they’re next.
That’s what the obituary would read.
For the longest, people have been asking where has chivalry gone, and have men forgotten their place. The answer to that is yes chivalry is dead, but it wasn’t killed by men. Its not men who have forgotten their place, but women.
As I listened to a conversation the other day, I listened as a female complained of a man who tried to talk to her at a club and as she ordered her drink, he didn’t offer to pay for it. She blamed it on a lack of chivalry. I’ve seen men hold doors open for females and instead of thanking him, they proceed to complain that he didn’t open the next door. I’ve seen females told they were beautiful, and instead of accepting the compliment they reply they know they look good. And we killed chivalry?
Here’s a perfect example. Last Thursday, a group of my friends and myself were sitting in the cafeteria talking when we noticed a beautiful freshman. We all praised her beauty from afar, when it hit me we should be saying it to her. So I took the task upon myself. My intentions were not to make an attempt to show interest or get her number, I simply wanted to tell her she was beautiful and should consider running for Ms. Southern.
So when I got her attention, in a very respectable manner, and asked her for a minute, her reaction was very shocking. She turned her nose up at me and loudly stated she didn’t have time for me. The real me wanted to tell her about herself, but all I could think of was calling her a b****, and though then I would have got her attention, I decided to keep what honor I had left.
It’s ironic that women complain of chivalry and at the same time criticize a man for being too nice. If a man is too nice he’s a punk and unworthy of your time. Pop-culture has brainwashed most females into wanting a “soldier” or a thug, even though the only thing present in a soldier’s or a thug’s future is far from positive, and his characteristics only show that he cannot respect you. Yet the chivalrous and polite man, no matter how pure his intentions are, is passed over for this abuse. The survival of the fittest notion says one has to adapt in order to maintain stability. As a result, say goodbye to chivalry.
On the more mature side of the spectrum, women take the whole gender equality too far. Just because a man offers to do something for you does not mean he feels you can’t do it yourself. If he offers to drive you somewhere, pay for you, or any of the sort, his intentions are not to establish dominance nor belittle you. I’ve seen women yell and cuss out a man for offering to pay for dinner. If you can do everything yourself, then don’t complain when your man does nothing for you.
I remember when I was about five, I asked my grandfather what chivalry was. His response to me was it was a gentleman’s appreciation for ladies. The key word in that sentence ladies. Not every woman is a lady, and not every woman is deserving of chivalry. And just to make it clear that I am not speaking on behalf of all men, let me be more personal about what this means.
You are not a lady if you cuss more than me. You are not a lady if I see you flirting and know that you are sexual with several people. I am a forgiving person, but I have a great memory, and if I hold a door open for you twice and you never once say thank you, don’t be surprised the next time it closes on you.
I will not pay for a woman that asks me to take them out. A lady waits for a gentleman to invite her. If you show me contempt, I will reciprocate it, it isn’t right but I’m not perfect. Under no circumstances will I buy a woman a drink in the club. That’s not being rude, I just refuse to spend money on something that will hinder your judgments. Actually, that’s respect. If you nag me about something, obviously you know how to do it better than me and I will gladly watch you do it. And finally, most important, if I don’t offer to do it or naturally do something, it is because I DON’T WANT TO! You can complain all you want, but you are responsible for the urges that I have.
I was also taught to look in the mirror before making accusations. So women, before complaining about men and their lack of chivalry, peer at your own existence. Do you really deserve chivalry? Do you show appreciation for politeness and return it undeservingly? Are you targeting men who can be polite and respectful? Do not ask for what you are unwilling or incapable of doing yourself. I can make this guarantee, when ladies dominate the population of women again, chivalry will be resurrected again. There are men that still feel uncomfortable fitting the standards that you have become appealed to, and want Mr. Nice Guy to finish first.
