    My wife once asked why I do things like this for her. Walk closer to the road, open her door, etc. She said she is capable of all those things and she's not weak. I told her, "I don't protect you because you're weak, I protect you because you're important." She and her sister both swooned in unison. That's why we do it.

    A few years ago, i was at the mall for an eye exam. I held the mall door open for a young, pink haired woman. Expecting a thank you, i was surprised that she snapped at me - "Im quite capable of opening a door myself!" She scolded me. I was so shocked that i couldn't think of a reply. But i hold doors open for everyone! Young or old, male or female. Just how i was raised.

    One act of chivalry I learned a year ago-and that I haven’t seen many people know about-is that when you’re going upstairs, you should walk behind the lady, and when going downstairs, you should walk in front of her. The idea is that if she falls, you can catch her.

      I was always taught that as a man you should walk in front of her or by her side when walking up the stairs, as to open doors for her. It also has a second layer to it, as when you are not behind her, she is reassured you aren't checking out her legs/rear. Kinda sad that this second meaning had to be added...

If she has the higher ground, she could never blame you by faking a "fall"; or if she really honestly did trip or fall or her heal broke, or her shoe strap snapped, you can prevent her fall. Its not your fault if she chose to wear a mini-skirt. Maybe she wants to be attractive that way.

    As a woman, I enjoy your videos!! Thank you for educating young men in this generation on how to be gentleman!!! We need more of that and not degenerate ‘Pop the Balloon’ content 😭.
    Yes, majority of women appreciate a gentleman, feminism has killed simple acts of chivalry where women get offended when a man opens the door for them…please, take several seats. That’s not the kind of woman you want anyways!
    If you’re a lover boy, you need to be with a LOVER GIRL. That’s the only way it’s going to work in this messed up generation.
    Rejection is Gods protection, don’t ever let anyone tell you your expectations are too high simply because that person cannot meet them. What one person can’t do, another will + go above and beyond…just you wait. Chivalry is still alive, gentlemen will follow the sidewalk rule, open doors, pull out your chair, pay for dates, buy you flowers without having to ask and do other sweet things for you just to see you smile.
    Don’t do a disservice to yourself by settling for less than you deserve all because you’re desperate and worried your person isn’t out there.
    Trust me, they are praying to meet you one day. It’s perfectly natural to yearn for romance and affection but as lover girls and lover boys, we have to guard our hearts even though we have so much love to give.

      But, it seems you're. While, many a moment goes by when, those little acts of chivalry go unnoticed, as it should be. The other day, and today. I had a few moments that come alive. The smile on her face, when I half opened her door was gladsome to behold. Then, it happened again today. So, there is life in this tradition yet. So, I am glad grandma lets me hold her purse, and gives me little quests.
      And thank you for believing, that good exists in the opposite sex,

    Thank you for this! I grew up in the United States in the 70's and 80's, prime years for feminist ideology. I remember on more than one occasion, I opened doors for women, which is kind of automatic for me, and was met with a very negative response, such as "I am not helpless or weak". I felt shamed. I am happy to say that I now live in Latin America, where chivalry is alive and well. My gestures of respect are appreciated here. I open doors, help with chairs, and give compliments. I feel that this is appreciated. I see many men here doing the same here.

      Her gobsmacked reaction was priceless

    Whenever possible, I open the car door for any female in my presence.
    I do this for elderly women, my sister, mom, friend's wife and even their 10 year old daughter. Of all these my mother is the most important, I honour her most, she deserves that for raising me.
    Many years ago while visiting my sister and her fiance, we were invited to go fishing an their friend's boat. My sister unwittingly went in her bikini top, the wind blowing over that water was freezing, I gave her my shirt to wear. I was freezing all the time and at the end of the day also badly sunburnt.
    Her fiance didn't offer her anything, he's an experienced fisherman and was kitted head to toe.
    Some things seem quite obvious, why is it that men don't do these things anymore? Good encouraging comments that offer valuable insight, thank you gentlemen for sharing your experiences.

    I appreciate the help at a grocery store when I am reaching for something on a high shelf. I will ask for help from a taller person, but it is always nice when a man observes the problem and offers his help.
    By the way, as I age I find that heavy doors are a challenge. Opening a door for me is appreciated far more now than ever before. It is perhaps a tired example, but it a common opportunity to be of service to another person.

You can even smooth the shouldsers down if you wish. 2) show some acts of chialry to other perons - the recipient will like it, you will like it and yor lady love it.

    I remember decades ago in NYC seeing two Ladies decked out walking down the street during a light rain. Was in a taxi - had him stop and I rushed out and up to the Ladies and gave them My umbrella. They declined but I insisted. They were REALLY grateful saying They were on their way to an interview. I told them they'd do fantasically and went back to the taxi. Why'd I do it? Honor. Respect. Value. To ME it doesn't matter who She 'is' but she IS someone's Daughter, Mother, Sister, or whatever. My Grandpa taught Me that. Haven't missed that $75 umbrella but have thought of that Moment when two Ladies just minding their business and I had an Encounter and I got to make their Life a little easier.

Without hesitation I immediately gave her my raincoat. I didn't expect anything in return. I know she appreciated me doing so.

    Absolutely, chivalry is for any lady, not just one you want to woo. I agree with everything except the feminism bit. Feminism is ordered towards women being their own man instead of going for the traditional complementary dynamic. Chivalry is anti-feminist, but it’s pro-woman, pro-femininity.

    I love holding the car door open for her, especially in inclement weather, holding an umbrella over her head, etc. The worse the weather, the more romantic it is. And while this one may not quite meet the definition of chivalrous, I've also started hiding little Post-Its around the house that say "I love Beth". Whenever she finds one, it's a sweet, unexpected little gesture of my love for her.

    Great video! Well done. Feminism is about framing facts in a particular way, this is rooted in logic and system 2 thinking. For all people, including feminists, feelings are much more powerful than logic and this is where chivalry has its impact. We all have three compelling psychological needs, to be liked, to feel important, and to belong. Chivalry addresses one or more of these needs. I go out of my way to perform acts of kindness for any and everyone, male and female alike, and women and men’s needs are different.

    I'm an American, raised by a very attentive mother. While living in Germany, my girlfriend and I went to a local outdoor Fest hosted in the village where her sister and brother-in-law lived. We were both wearing jackets and as the sun went down, the temperature suddenly dropped. At the end of the long table at which we were sitting I saw a young woman in a T-shirt, shivering. I stood up, went to the end of the table, took off my jacket and offered it to her. She seemed very surprised but also very relieved and gladly took my jacket. As I sat down next to my girlfriend she asked if I knew who that woman was. As I tried to dismiss my own shivering I said "No, but she looked cold". She explained, "That's my sister's husband's sister. I think you just made a very good impression"! A short time later a man approached the woman, looked at my jacket and seemed very curious. She pointed to me and smiled. Turns out, it was her husband and, yes, I gained quite a reputation after that small act.

She returned it to me when she got back inside and thanked me profusely.

I came across your channel by chance and you’ve given me hope that at least some men will listen to you and put the necessary time and effort into becoming gentlemen.

Offering my jacket, I don't have much occasion, but I did once years ago, and the girl was surprised and pleased. It was cold and breezy. I do the trash all the time. And I do #5 as well. I have tipped my hat to ladies, held my umbrella open over a lady that did not have one. I've always wanted to light a woman's cigarette, but hardly any of them smoke, or they (ugh) vape.

Then my Ex commented to our daughter about how I still was doing the little things. Then I told her, if I did not then my Grandma Coyne would smack me from the grave. They are 19 months apart and I can remember when our daughter got attacked by 4 guys and our son attacked them, and he was 17 at the time and like 4 or 5 years younger than the other guys. he jumped them not expecting to win, only by time for her to get away. Then no one came to his help, and he fought dirty, like deciding to gouge eyes out. He put each of them into the hospital for at least a few days each and he had to just get treated and released.

About cars, in the military the lower ranks enters first so when the car arrives to destination, the senior officer gets out of the car first. That is a detail to consider if she is the "main character" at destination. A 6th tip to consider is using your body as a shield for her. I do not consider this as a protection but to give comfort. As a rescuer I used to stand between the victim and the wind in a blizzard, or to cast my shadow on the victim in a sunny day or to swim between the victim and the waves in the sea. Those are natural threats, but there are urban threats such us disturbing people, dogs behind a fence, construction sites, traffic or wind in a rainy day, intense sun in summer, etc... acting natural to shield her adds comfort to the situation, and sometimes that will be noticed and appreciated.

She used to live a few houses down from my parents place. Anyways, she walked up to her spot at the table and I pulled her chair out for her to sit down. The way she looked at me is burned into my memory. I think about that moment often.
