They Dont Make Em' Like They Used To!! Is Chivalry Dead??

ITS BEEN A LOOONG TIME COMMING!! SORRY THAT ITS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I POSTED MY LAST BLOG! Been sooo Busy, But trust we have much to catch up on!

Question of the Day! Is Chivalry dead??....Answer: It seems so! In my honest opinion it seems as if we need to all get together and have a damn funeral for Chivalry, because it seems to be rather scarce these days. Somebody probably reading this asking, "what is Chivalry?"....and I know somebody asking, cuz they are literally asking me right now on the phone as I type. lol. I should put you out there! But for those that may not be familiar with the term (slow folks)....

Chivalry: is a term related to the medieval institution of knighthood. It is usually associated with ideals of knightly virtues, honor and courtly love. The word is derived from the French word "chevalerie", itself derived from "chevalier", which means knight, derived from "cheval", horse (indicating one who rides a horse)....now thats from wikipedia, so you may need to check that source! lol.
But Today, the terms chivalry and chivalrous are used to describe courteous behavior, especially that of men towards women; such as opening doors, pulling out chairs, walking a woman to her door at night to make sure she got in the crib safe, taking out the garbage, buying her a pair of stilettos every now and then.... (Ok... think i may have added that last one), but you get the picture.
I am confused as to why these things dont happen anymore?! I hate it when one of my silly ass friends call me (you know I love ya'll) talkin bout, "I think I like him alot!" I reply, "Why, my silly ass friend?" the silly ass friend replies, "Because he so sweet! He be opening doors for me, and when he asked me out, he didnt make me pay!"....WTH!! THATS WHAT THEY SUPPOSE TO DO!! Women give men bonus points for stuff that they should be doing by nature, and things that their mother or grandmother should have taught them from the get go. Im not saying that a man has to go to extremes like throwing his jacket over a puddle of water, or slicing her steak into small pieces to prevent her from doing manual labor when out to dinner, but its the basic things that lack now days. Why dont men do the simple things like, walk his date to the door to make sure she gets in without being raped, Not expect a woman to pay for the date if you're the one that asked her out, Open doors (including car doors), Dont make her sit in a cold ass car with you in sub zero winter weather until it heats up (now brothas done got smart with the automatic starters! lol..), Pull the car around if you guys are parked across the world, etc...
All of the above are simple things! Maybe i feel this way because of how my dad treated me growing up....and I consider him to be a real man. But they dont make em' like they use to!

(Playing Devils advocate) Why men dont do these things? Answer: Because women dont know how the hell to act when they do them. I hate it when a silly ass friend says, "I dont really like him.....he too nice." What the hell is too nice?!?! ......and women ya'll know ya'll be sayin dumb ish like that!! Straight pissin me off!! lol. I dunno about my silly ass friends....but i like nice men.... It sure beats being with Ike Turner. A man walks you to the door late at night and you grabbin for your mace like he's the one who's gonna attack you!.......i know...cuz i done did it b4! lol!!!...it caught me off guard tho! We pull up to my crib and i get out and start walking to my door. He parks and takes his keys out the ignition and starts walking behind me. Because it was so out of the ordinary I had to stop and say, "Where the hell you think you goin?".....after looking at me like i was retarded he explained that he was simply walking me to my door because my porch light wasn't on. I felt kinda dumb. But i mean, why he have to take the keys out the ignition?? He could have kept the car running...that was kinda suspect...im just sayin! ( lowkey, I still think he thought his ass was about to come in....I have no way to prove it tho. lol)
In addition to women not knowing how to react to such actions, men also feel as if certain women don't deserve such treatment. I have a brother....I see some of the hoochies he kick it with....this is understandable. lol. You are treated the way you allow people to treat you. If you dont seem as if you require much, then you wont get much in return. However, I still feel that no matter how a woman Carry's herself, she should still be treated like a woman.

In Conclusion, Is Chivalry dead? If so, can it be resurrected? Let me know what you think!
