Things A Chivalrous Man Shouldn't Let a Woman Do

Chivalry is not dead, at least I hope not. I continue to believe there are things a man should do for a woman. While I can think of many I'm only going to list my top 5 in no particular order:

*Pump her gas/ keep car serviced
*Walk on the outside on the street (keep her inside from street)
*Open doors and always let her enter first (including opening/ closing car door)
*Pick up tab for first date (can't stand a cheap ninja)
*Fail to get off (no explanation needed. handle ya biz fellas)

^^Perfect description of my husband! I'll add: Push the shopping cart and carry the bulk of the groceries

The best thing you can do to impress a woman on a first date is to take of your pants and jacket.

I COMPLETELY agree! Finally, someone who isn't ashamed to say in public that women are fragile, delicate creatures that need a firm, guiding hand from a man. I feel, though, that you didn't complete your list. Here are some other items that I see as obligations for men, to keep women protected, safe, and firmly under our compassionate guidance.

* Drive them places. - These days, women are capable of doing all kinds of things. Voting, earning money, and even driving their own vehicles. But just because they CAN, doesn't mean that they want to! Most women are doing these things because they feel like they have to in today's society. But in reality, they are waiting for a strong, chivalrous man to come into their lives and relieve them of these burdens. Your lady wants to go to the store? To visit her friends? To see her OBGYN? Grab the keys, man! It not only shows her the respect she deserves, but it places you firmly in the driver seat - of your relationship!

* Chew their food. - I can not TELL you how often this one gets missed. Women have weak jaws and, as a result, cannot fully tear into tougher foods. Left to their own devices, women will simply gum these foods, and will therefore not release the necessary nutrition that they bodies need to serve as vessels for our children. Guys, take a tip from me and always chew your ladies' main course 10-20 times per bite at LEAST. Beyond the nutritional benefits, this also reminds your lady of where her meals come from. That is to say, YOU!

* Make difficult decisions. - Women hate to make decisions. That's not sexism, guys. That's science. Step up and do your duty as a man, to make difficult decisions for your lady friend. "What color dress should I wear?", "What type of car should I buy?", "Should I get a job outside the home?" - These are all typical female questions that you should be ready and able to provide short, simple answers to at a moments notice. Remember that not all burdens are physical! You must be prepared to carry her mental burdens as well, to keep her as relaxed and UN-stressed as possible. (Besides, just between us, if she had to make her own mind up, it would probably take her a year! )

Keep up the good work, guys. Remember that a feminist is just a woman who hasn't known your unique brand of chivalry yet.

Well. Guess I'm f*cked in this department since I don't date men.:ohwell:

It's so refreshing to see such strong, independent women in this thread who don't 'need' men to do things for them.

I can't believe there are still women in this world that enjoy having a man show how much they care by expressing a primal need to protect the person they love.

Kudos to you for being above that sickening behavior!
