Let's be honest. Do you guys think chivalry still exists? Let us know what you think here: http://www.yourtango.com/200926606/chivalry-dead-5-men-discuss
Nowadays, finding men who are still chivalrous is sometimes rare. Is it possible that chivalry is pretty much dead? We're not talking about Prince Charming riding in on his white horse either.

Dear Abby aint got nothing on us. YourTango goes straight to the source and gets guys talking about sex, dating, makeups and breakups. I’m Sami Jarroush and this “That’s What He Said”. So next thing we’re talking about right now is the old adage is chivalry dead? Do you still open doors for women? Do you get get up when they leave the table?
Chivalry’s not dead. It’s something you do in the beginning and you just forget along the way. Women should have the door opened up for them 9 times out of 10 I hold the door for a woman. “Thank you!” Like I’m honestly an alien. But the kids aren’t learning it anymore. They’re not seeing it at home they’re not seeing it on TV.
A lot of 20 something girls now I don’t think they respect chivalry because they’re just not expose to it. They don’t know it.
One of the chivalrous moments or at least that I was taught when you’re in the elevator women should walk out first. And I used to do that maneuver for a long time until one time a woman looked at me and said “Do not wait for me to walk out of this elevator”.
We’re talking about that but we’re not talking about the thousands of times when he women happily got out first. What do you do with a revolving door?
You let them go through first, right? You enter first because you push the glass. You are providing the locomotion. And you turn around and you go “Hurry up! Start it!”
Then of course there’s the chivalrous, well I don’t know if it chivalrous or more of a certain type of etiquette, when you ask her father for her hand in marriage. Does that even happen anymore? I mean, when the three of you guys- You didn’t? I didn’t either.
I understand, you know, it’s an old school thing and allot of my friend who are married who have done that. Me? I don’t view it a necessity. I plan to do it. I love it. I’m old fashion. I would love to do that.
I did it! I never had the feeling of it and I understand what you’re saying of it being more of a possessive thing. I think it was more “I’m going to ask you daughter to marry me”. I would like you guys to give your blessing.
I would like to see it make a comeback though. I got married wasted in Vegas. I saw a sign that said John Bon Jovi was married here. We went in and we got married.
Is chivalry dead?
No!
