I think a lot of young guys are confused about what chivalry is and what it means for us ladies. It seems as though simple gestures that I grew up learning (and seeing) a man should do simply out of respect is now seen as extra, unnecessary work that a woman should just do herself. Well here is how I see chivalrous acts from a woman's perspective.
Chivalry shows that you're man enough to respect the fact that I can do it on my own but are willing to do it for me because you're there. Opening doors, carrying bags, pulling out chairs, pumping gas, waiting for her to get in the house before driving off, having her check in when she reaches her destination, etc...yes, we are capable enough to do all those things on our own, but what we see is how much you can care for more than just yourself by doing those small chivalrous acts. If you can care about the little things like that, that's shows that you are most likely more capable of handling bigger issues because you've proven that you really do care about our well-being. Because when you think about it, that shows us how you're going to treat us in the future. The little stuff goes quite a long way. Chivalry is chivalry for a reason. Not to cater to a woman's every whim or look like less of a man. In the end, you'll show just how much of a man you really are.
