I don't think it's dead, but I do agree with Dog Dog Bang Bang when he says that it's scared. Case in point, a co-worker was "complaining" because a guy (white) offered to pump her gas. She's going off saying, I don't need his help, I can pump my own gas. I finally told her that he was probaly just trying to be polite. She concluded that he wanted to get with her. That may very well have been the case, but dang, it was just some gas, he wasn't asking for her hand in marriage.
Anyway, I love it when a man holds the door, pulls out my chair, etc. But I agree that many women are just too darn independant and may not even realize when a man is being chilvarous. On the other hand, so many women are so used to doing things themselves, that they just don't think about letting a man do it for them
