Is Chivalry Really Dead?

Cause it damn sure seems that way!

I'm an independent woman, but I still think men should open car doors for us, allow us to walk through a doorway first, help us carry heavy stuff and even pick up the tab most of the time.

Call me old-fashioned, but I think men should treat us like ladies, and act like…well, men. A man should make us feel special, should treat us differently than they do their friends and go out of their way to be extra-polite to us—especially when they are trying to win us over!

This past weekend my neighbor walked right past me as I struggled up the stairs with my heavy suitcase, laptop and multiple bags after a 10-hour flight home from Spain. It would have taken one minute out of his day to stop, ask if I needed any help lifting my bags and take them to my door. But, of course, he didn’t.

But all is not lost, chicas! The next day, I grabbed lunch with my boy Juanito, who not only insisted on picking up the tab, but also took me for a coffee afterwards and paid for that too. He claimed that he invited me so it was his treat, and I let him pay.

The truth is I only want to date someone who treats me like I'm special, who treats me like a lady.

Do you think this is too much to ask, or do you agree that men should pull out all the chivalrous stops and treat us like the reinas we are?

I agree with you 100%, but nowaday most men want women to pick up the tab. The one of many reasons why I remain single.
