Why did we let chivalry die? 🤔

I need it to come back, immediately.

Men my age never lost it...these younger beta males today?
Too self-absorbed to know how to treat a lady.
But then again, many women today act in ways that will not garner respect.
Modesty used to be a thing too but it is now rare

@BearLeeDangLing I suppose in my personal case I've been single since mid-2018 and dating isn't a 'thing' I get to do so I don't have any necessity to be chivalrous in any pseudo-romantic connectivity context. I used to do it when I was in relationships but when single it's an act that gets no 'thankyou' from anyone and women in the main react defensively when you try to do it. Respect is a two-way street as most of us eye-wide-open life-experienced people know.

@zonavar68 Well said.
I haven't been on a date myself for quite a while. The woman I was last in a relationship with passed a couple of weeks ago. Although we ended our 3-year relationship on good terms this past spring, we remained very trusted, close friends and spoke regularly.
I wasn't trying to date anyone after we split up and that applies even more right now.
I'm in no rush...I believe that the "right one" will appear when unexpected, not when you are seeking her
