Greetings to all...is chivalry dead I certainly hope not!!!

I disagree with Sphinxpoet (sorry brother) that a woman should demand better treatment from her man. Why should she have to demand something that she deserve. I was raised to give the up most respect to women and the elderly.

Now, as I have gotten older (42 yrs. old), I have adjusted those rules to fit the present situation I am in. For example: when I am riding the Metro (subway) if a teenage girl is getting on and all seats are taken, do I let her have it no. (unless she is handicap or have childern with her) But, let a woman of 30something or older get on, I will offer my seat. Opening doors: always when letting a lady into my car. When walking into a building: a) if she is with me....yes .... b) only a few feet behind me.....yes c) if her hands are full or small kid(s) in her arm yes....Now I do have a 5 seconds rule....if I have to wait more than 5 seconds.....no.
