chivalry is as alive as we allow it to be...

you know (disclaimer: this is not male bashing in anyway shape or form) men will do and/or get away with what we WOMEN allow them to...

if we hold them to higher standards, they will raise to the ocassion. if we continue to accept substandard behavior, then OF COURSE that is what they will continue to offer! i mean think about it, why open the door, pull out the chair, walk on the outside (closest to the curb) if he doesn't think it is expected of him?

but to answer the question, NO i do not believe chivalry is dead, i am a living witness, BUT i think alot of it comes from our expectations and standards!
