Gals, what chivalrous things do you still expect a guy to do for you?
you don't have ' do the dishes' on here lol
I don't expect anything, but everything I do get is appreciated.
I don't expect any of it but, he does all of it most of the time so I'm used to it. And more. He opens the car door for me too. Sometimes he holds a chair for me as well. Others he doesn't.
I was brought up with old fashioned values and manners ;) I believe men and women should look out for each other. I'd never assume or expect any man to pay for me or go crazy with chivalrous gestures, as much as I like to be taken care of, I'm also pretty independent too. I think its the little things that mean the most, the sweet and unassuming, caring things you do out of good nature and or love. I agree with appreciating your special persons actions - anything good they do for you without being asked or prompted is not only a bonus but goes a long way to making one feel loved and cared for.

I do not enjoy the "Ladies first" in anything. I prefer to open the door for a man, let him walk up the stairs first. I am a Woman of the 21st century. I want to look at his ass.
Living life and enjoying life are two different things... just need to figure out how to do both at the same time to live it right!
Woman... GO FLY A KITE!!!!! Take a slideshow walk with me on a walk through the parks of Inner Mongolia, China. Then enjoy the tale of a very traditional day in the life of a white Woman in China. I expect to have everything paid for because you WILL be getting more than your money's worth!!!

Bunny Rabbits cute and fuzzy they want to love you but they have razor sharp teeth - don't piss them off! I truly do not expect much of him except the basics like I guess opening the door, and pulling out my seat. But there is a degree where I want my independence. But when a guy shows chivalry and acts like a knight, he'll be the horse and I'll be the knight doing all the riding!
This could have been a bit better worded poll, a few more choices, etc...
I had an occasion today to visit the local postal office. As I was leaving, I noticed a neighbor woman (who I rarely speak with) about to exit behind me, as well as a pair of young women about to enter.
I exited and then held the door open for all the oncoming traffic. This is what I normally do, and I've enjoyed having it done for me (by others).
I really think nothing of it.
But some women do not like this act, I suppose they find it patronizing?
Other's (men and women) seem to expect the door to be held so they may pass without further effort and a minority actually verbally thank me or...do so with their eyes and a smile..
It's the little things which are the most important, and the sum of all those little things sometimes produce quite unexpected benefits.
In short...there is nothing wrong with acting as a gentleman should. If it doesn't get you laid more often, it at least might make you feel a bit better about yourself.
The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.
I have always opened the door for women, held the door, etc. I always thought that it was a sign of good upbringing to do such.
Some women appreciate it very much, but there are some who have snapped my head off for opening or holding a door for them.
I'm a Southern Belle at heart, so I would like him to:
hold the door for me
open my car door, wait for me to get in, and close it
pull my chair out for me
stand when I rise to leave the table
stand when I return to the table
offer me his coat when I'm chilly
offer to allow me to taste the wine first
Wait until I begin to eat before he does (unless I encourage him to first)
Call me ma'am or miss if we are unfamiliar (I will always encourage him to call me by my first name, then)
These are not mandatory, obviously, but they ARE typical standards of etiquette, and it's too bad more men don't abide by them. I've raised my 15-year old son to do these things, and I love that he will. I wish more parents would take the time to teach their children manners.
I wasn't raised with manners, so it's not really an excuse for anyone to say they weren't raised that way, so they don't do it. I never hold it against anyone if they are not this well mannered but, if they are, it DEFINITELY leaves a wonderful impression. My husband stood out among others for these very habits.

I believe chiverlry is a dying art I never seen so much disrespect for our lady population as I have in the pass 10 years remember guys a little show of respect goes a long way
I think the reason guys are less and less chivalrous these days is a fear of being called sexist. I have a handful of feminist friends who would bite my head off if I appeared to give them special treatment because they were female. Changing times mean guys don't know what's still kosher and what crosses the PC boundary.
Some guys are just assholes, right enough.
