My Rant for the Day :)

Chivalry is not a term that you hear to often these days.  I find it very sad that people jokingly say, "chivalry is dead."  I am not lecturing to all the men out there.  The one's who do show the respect to ladies by opening the door, or paying for dinner I would like to thank you.  Every girl likes to feel as if they are appreciated and respected by guys.  The sad part is, is that I don't see chivalry existing anymore in today's society.  Call me old fashion if you want, but I do expect to be treated like a lady and have my car door opened if I am going out with a guy.  I think the problem these days is that girls don't expect it, therefore they do not demand it from a guy to be treated the way they deserve to be treated.  




Ladies:  Step up and expect guys to treat you the way you deserve.  We all like to feel as if we are being "taking care of" in a sense.  We all like to feel as if we are special.  Therefore, you need to expect a guy to treat you that way.  For me, this goes for all types of relationships with the opposite sex.  Whether they are just your friend, boyfriend, fiancée, or husband, you should expect them to make you feel special.  Don't let guys get away with thinking that, chivalry is dead.  We as females deserve way better than that.


Guys:  Get it together!  Show the ladies that they are special by doing the simple things like opening the car door.  It is not hard.  Little things like that make us feel like we are special.  One of my biggest pet peeves is seeing a guy walk ahead of his girlfriend/wife while they are out in public.  Please bring chivalry back up from the grave.

  1. I agree. I work at a state uni and get the door slammed in my face almost daily by boys walking through and not being considerate. I want to march over to them and grab their ear saying "didn't your momma show you better?!"

    It's disgusting. Although, women are just as bad and they don't think to hold open a door for me either. How hard is it to be considerate and understand that you are not the only human being on the planet?

    It really gets my grits.
