| the most chivalrous men in the world.... where are they?
Posted: 10/20/2006 11:58:55 PM | | CANADA BABY!!!!!!!!! hahah i dunno its all in how your brought up.... i do it cause thats what i was taught was proper, and when it comes down to it, I mean, personally i enjoy being able to do such a insignificant thing that takes no effort at all and isnt even expected of me, but allows someone else the comfort of having it done for them... | |

Posted: 10/21/2006 1:32:24 AM | | i think that the men in the U.K. and Australia have a different mind set than men in the states. but there are thousands of them here too, so don't be sending me hate mail.... i'm just giving my experienced opinion. and i so totally agree with msg 5 - that nick guy is wonderful! :) | |

Posted: 10/21/2006 1:50:25 AM | | i don't think that it is a regional thing. i do agree that younger guys don't do it as much but why, i don't know. i don't think they were brought up around it, maybe they just don't want to. i'm only 30 and i still do those things but i've found that not every women likes it when you do it either. | |

Chivalrious knights come from noble blood, and in this day and age noble blood is sparse. Not boasting or anything but I consider myself to be chivalrous and romantic.
nice, a pity for me tho, as youre 10 yrs too young for me, but good luck to your next match! chivalrous and romantic, hm.. nothings better! | |

I agree OP it is rare in this day and age to find a man who is romantic anymore........one wonders if there are any left truly. | |

Posted: 10/21/2006 5:59:55 PM | Chivalry was just another form of "gettin' some" booty. Today, we have
no patience....with the fast food and the like, we don't have time
for that.
We guy's are chivalrous, but only a little impatient. That's why we have
Intimate Encounters profiles - to cut through the red tape. | |

Posted: 10/21/2006 6:05:43 PM | Wasn't chivalry built around the theme of chastity? The honourable knight - isn't he supposed to be almost holy? - Didn't chilvarly come from that ideal? I think it has something to do with those knights living by a code - and part of that code dictates that they remain virgins, treat women with the upmost respect for their chastity etc...
Noone has yet given me a modern take on it, but I think this is where it sortaof comes from. | |

Posted: 10/21/2006 6:10:54 PM | msgs 11 & 15 rather philosophical but true, i m sad to find many men these days (seems like a global trend) not only have no idea what chivalry is, they even expect women to treat them like ladies, and when they re not getting it, they call women names saying theyre game playing, i dont have to go far for examples, one older man on this site complained on a thread that he messaged one other younger woman but got no reply, then he blackmailed the woman and says she looks good but in a bad way of a crack addict, and shes prostitute blah blah, phew... even, even if she were, how good is this man when even prostitutes want to run away from him?
tho, now i want to do a reality check, if anyone have time to read my profile/posts, whether i fall in the feminists category as i certainly have no intention of turning into one. | |

Posted: 10/21/2006 6:10:57 PM | Now Now Now Neonmitch, just because you treat girls like a princess doesn't mean all guys in calgary do lol
Believe me; they're not all cute sea turtles here!
haha
I think that guys are only chivalrous because they HAVE to be, because we women expect it
and rightfully so! We deserve it! | |

Who truly stands up for a ladies honour anymore, most are sitting back on the couch watching the game! | |

no, chivalry started alot earlier in the time of troubadour, and chastity much later and alot more recent victorian.
The honourable knight - isn't he supposed to be almost holy?
no.
- Didn't chilvarly come from that ideal?
what ideal? of being holy? no.
I think it has something to do with those knights living by a code - and part of that code dictates that they remain virgins, treat women with the upmost respect for their chastity etc...
no, it turned out to be not what you thought, as mentioned above, chivalry is not related to chastity, one is much older than the other, one has a french origin the other english. although! theres codes in the victorian age to tell you what are considered as proper manners.
Noone has yet given me a modern take on it, but I think this is where it sortaof comes from.
modern take? | |
