I live in the South, where some believe it is a magical land of chivalry. I've had plenty of doors let to slam in my face and sometimes on a limb. BUT, at the same time, I've had lots of guys open a door for me and I always say thank-you. And I highly disagree that it's a show of 'i am man, man stronger than woman'. It's the polite thing to do, even if you're a girl holding open a door for a guy. And I think people who want to raise hell about a door being opened for them just need to chill out. Be nice to the stranger attempting to perform for you an act of kindness and go on your merry way, alrighty? Chivalry is not dead in the least. My boyfriend is chivalrous to the core. I don't ask him to do any of these things, and I don't expect him to, he just does it. He opens doors for me, helps me carry my things, remains standing until all women around are seated, and in general is very polite. Let your boy be nice to you, it shows he cares, just like I do when I make him dinner or wash his clothes. I really applaud this.

If they are treated well by women, they get treated better in return. If women want to be taken good care of by their men, they need to respect and treat their men with dignity.

My mom was a waitress for years and she always taught us to give a good tip for any service even taxi cabs. I can take a cab 10 blocks (yes, lazy at times) and I'll still give the guy a $1.00 tip at least despite the rising costs. Even a delivery from a place that's a block away, I will still at least give a $1.00. Grocery deliveries maybe $4 or $5. I figure, I didn't have to take a cab and I'd rather give the money to the delivery person. Everyone says I'm crazy, but my mom raised me this way. I will purchase your book soon.

I refused help with a stroller once and my child was in it and we all almost fell. Thankful the same person was nearby to help out. I didn't refuse because I thought his intentions were wrong, I was trying not to be a bother to anyone and thought that I was strong enough to accomplish the task. I won't be that stupid again.
