A couple of weekends ago, I was walking down the street with my 6-year-old daughter and switched sides, making her walk on the inside of me, away from street traffic. Granted, it was little young for a chivalry lesson, but at least she knows that "boys are supposed to walk closest to the cars."

How cute! Start her off early TonyB recognize a gentlemen.

I do think there is a lack of chivarous behavior from young men (under 30) in general. I've noticed that older men will still hold the door open, let ladies go first, etc. but younger guys don't (again in general). I've nearly had to go upside my nephew's head when it comes to holding the door open for ladies (he's finally gotten the message). My SO does things like that (open doors, walks on the outside, etc.) which I like. Plus he kills bugs for me to. lol :)

You should just spray them with lysol. I lysol or orange spray anything that moves and if a girl is around, I ask her to take over from there. I feel like I'm helping out by disinfecting and cleaning the area. That there is chivalry.

Chivalry is dead. Laying in the plots right next to it is Courting, Romance.

I dont know when they died. I just looked up one day and they were very dead, like Bob Hope.

I think that I could live withouth chivalry if I could see Courting and Romance again.

SKEEphistAKAte 04-24-2006 04:24 PM

Don't know if I've ever even experienced this Romance you speak of. :(

props to you!

its never too "young" or too early for a lesson in chivalry or just plain good manners for that matter - children need to see the appropriate behavior modeled before they can be expected to actually do it.

It surely hasn't made an appearance around here lately. I actually had some male friends justifying why they wouldn't help a woman having car trouble on the side of the road!:(

What did they say?
