Do girls like chivalry?

Question

Do girls like chivalry?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

No, because the knight's not-so-noble steed craps all over the hallway every time they're here.  Do I look like the cleaning lady??  Forget it.

Answer 3

Well I sure would like to meet some more respectful men out there.  If it's just an act for a woman then...it doesn't reflect well on the man.  If he always behaves respectfully and decently then that reflects well on him.  Of course a girl likes a man she is dating to make her feel special....but not in ways that make her feel like she is a little girl that cant do anything for herself.

Answer 4

As a very independent senior I still  appreciate it when a young man opens a door for me and other nice things called chivalry. Keep being nice.

Answer 5

Hate. Can't Stand. If you wouldn't act this way towards your fellow man, don't act this way towards me. Make me feel like I need your help, therefore somehow am beneath you.

Answer 6

I think most chivalrous men are polite, kind people who open doors and bring flowers because they're trying to treat women right. I don't think women who like those things are anti-feminist. It's a tradition in our society and a choice you make when you date.

However, it's just not my cup of tea. Chivalry makes me feel nervous, a bit patronized, and guilty. I don't want or need to be waited on or paid for. I really like to feel like I'm at the same level as my partner--not above him or beneath him. Sometimes, I think chivalry puts a woman on a pedestal. That kind of behavior makes me feel distant from a date rather than closer to him.

But everyone's different, and I don't condemn chivalry. To each his own.

Answer 7

vomit here too, boring and superficial

Answer 8

Why wouldn't we like courtesy towards us?

Answer 9

Some do, but it's on the way out. Speaking for myself, it's vomit.

Answer 10

Absolutely!

Guys have done a lot worse to me than open a door or pull out my chair.

Answer 11

Like anything else it depends on the motive ..a woman likes to see this in a man when it's part of who he is..it's in his nature..but when they do it to impress..they usually overcompensate..but "girls"might be impressed either way.

Answer 12

Absolutely!! Please prove to us it's not dead!

Answer 13

Yes, most do, but a lot don't seem to feel they have to return the favor.  

Sorry if that offends anyone, but that's how I see it in real life.

Answer 14

Yeah, of course!

Answer 15

I sure do!

Answer 16

You get no chivalry from me :P.

I think many confuse it with common courtesy.

If chivalry were synonymous with common courtesy then chivalry wouldn't exist. Chivalry is the notion that women should be respected above other men, because they are weaker, and we should treat them as some kind of glass statue or delicate flower.

Women are NOT delicate flowers:P trust me i know. I once spent 3 months at sea with a majority female cod/halibut fishing crew.

They hauled in the fish and gutted them and cleaned them and threw em in with the rest, they drove the boat, they cussed like sailors(and sailors we were).

Those 3 months put perspective on what women can do. Before them i figured women wouldn't handle well under a situation like that, i even joked with my friend that it was gonna be a sausage fest.

Answer 17

This one does!!! It's a dying art.

Answer 18

Yes we like courtesy and kindness if that is what you mean by chivalry.  

Answer 19

i sure hope so.  if holding doors open and just being polite to a point can get girls to like me, ive been doing that for a LONG time.

Answer 20

yes.

Answer 21

Chivalry-no. It's the notion that women are more important, or that women cannot do things for themselves, or trying to be masculine in front of a lady.

Common courtesy- Yes!

edit: Also, about the women being more important thing... this was brought up a while ago in GWS in relation to the army on how guys feel obliged to look after the women or save them first instead of the team as a whole and how they'd have to be trained not to do that. This is what chivalry has caused. As a progressive, chivalry holds us back into traditional gender roles and c**p. Lets do common courtesy where men open doors for both men and women, same with women. I wouldn't mind a little bit of chivalry, as long as I can give it back w/o getting a "what the ****?" look.

heiress... chivalry and common courtesy are different. You can be a gentlemen who is courteous without being chivalrious.

Answer 22

I think most do, I mean I sure do. The best example is when the guy opens the girls door with the car key first, she gets in and reaches over to unlock his door. It can work in a mutually nice reciprocal way, like if the guy opens a door and holds it open she smiles and says thank you in a sweet way. Society needs more of this, like a give and take- I might give a warm towel to my mate as he exits a shower but he will then rub my hair. Many men and women have lost this and it's a shame because through chivalry a guy becomes more of a gentleman- and women respect this type of man and he seems so confident and self assured. I guess a few might say they are against it for some reason or another, but I find that odd.  Politeness and manners are never a bad thing. So- short answer, yes. lol
