The 5 .coms of Chivalry.

Chivalry (shiv-uhl-ree): 1.qualities such as courtesy and courage 2.courtesy towards women. …..In other words, a gentleman.

There are 5 main .coms that just give us the natural highs(turn ons) or lows (turn offs) towards guys.. Somethings you should never expect while others, well..you should think twice about keeping or dumping the guy. Is chivalry dead?

#1. Holding the door open for your date. We don’t expect you to be my chauffeur and personal door opener all around. But sometimes it’d be nice when you could open the door for a girl instead of opening the door, getting our hopes of thinking you ARE “Thee one” cause you just opened the door for us, only to realize that you opened the door for yourself and walked right in before I could even take my next step through that door. I’ll give you a break on opening the car door because us girls aren’t queens, but simple gestures can go a long way. Expectationfail.com.

#2. Table etiquette/mannerisms. Boys will “always be boys” and they usually don’t have much table manners, and we understand that. But it’d be nice if you could hold your own as in hold the food in your mouth without having a pea sized chewed chicken flap onto our upper lip and then carry on with the conversation acting as if you didn’t just have something fly out your mouth. When you talk, we don’t want to hear you chewing your food, let alone talking with your mouth open. Do yourself, us, and your future kids a favor. Then after the meal, you begin to pick at your teeth not politely with a napkin over your mouth but with your longer pinky nail (that we all know what it’s for) to get them corn pieces stuck in the crevices of your priceless smile. When this happens, we just try to ignore it even though we're trying to hold ourselves from squealing and barfing in our mouth at the same time confused as to where your manners went. Our sign of attempting to ignore this is when you see us smiling nodding our head like we're ok with your hygiene, thinking in our brain, WTH did i just get myself into, AWKWARD.com

#3. Girls wearing the pants. And by that I mean girls having to go the extra distance to meet up with the bf. Always having to go over to their place because he’s lazy and he’s the man, so you cater to make him feel more of a man. I don’t think we expect you to ALWAYS come over to our pad, but it’d be nice if you’d be the person to initiate and offer to come over or offer to be the driver when going out. Especially if we’re hanging out late and the night would probably be over around 2-3 in the morning and we’re driving home by ourselves, our precious little selves. dramaqueen.com

#4. Waiting for your date to safely get in. I had a good friend about five years ago bring up chivalry to me. I honestly had no clue what it even was until he started talking about how he thinks chivalry is dead and went on about it. He didn’t want it to be a “non chivalrist” so he did the whole chivalry shabang towards me although we had clearly nothing going on between us except friendship. After learning about “chivalry” in a manner of 30 minutes just from his actions, the bar was set pretty darn high. What a gentleman (J.WAI)! I was visiting his hometown and he brought me back to his cousins place, not only did he offer to drive me, but he walked me back to the door to make sure I got in safely. These days, when your bf/guy friend/whatever you want to call them, drops you off you don’t expect them to actually walk you to your door but to AT LEAST wait in the car until we get INSIDE the house so you could then speed off because you couldn’t believe how bad the date was or slowly drive off cause you can’t get over how great the date was and you don’t want it to end. When you wait, it gives us a sign that you actually genuinely care about us, because situation being, in those simple little 2 minutes that we’re trying to get into our house, we get kidnapped, raped, and killed?!?! Ok, I know that may sound over exaggerated but…how would you feel??…GUILTY.com.

#5. Talking WAY too much about your yourself and your past/present/future. We have our own past, a personality, and lives of our own, but you don’t see us over advertising it. We weren’t born yesterday nor were we sheltered our whole lives until we met you (well I hope not at least) so choose wisely and sparingly on what you want to share, ones that’ll turn us on, not off. Therefore, we don’t want to hear about your past girlfriends, your past relationships, etc..ONE too many times. Its nice you like to share, but you don’t have to remind us, we heard you the first time. Then after your past you go into details boasting highly about yourself, I mean we care and like that you’re sharing about yourself which is why we gave in to dating you, but give us space to share about ourselves too sometimes. We don’t want to hear about how your mom and dad got a divorce, how your dog ate your hw and prevented you from graduating from the eighth grade, etc..all on the first few dates while you only know that I’m a girl and well, that I’m interested in you. Save us the trouble, grief, and fakeness of acknowledging more than we should know about your life go through one ear and straight out the other. BoresvilleU.S.A.com
