...and women killed it.
Let's be honest. The sore truth that chivalry is dead isn't just the guys fault. We ladies have contributed to it as well. From not acknowledging kind acts that are done for us, or refusing to let them be done to us altogether, we are sending a message that we don't need gentlemen to be chivalrous.
I can't read a man's mind, but I know what goes through some girls heads when they witness a guy being nice to another girl. Come on now ladies, let's be honest. Sometimes we go "Awwww, that's so sweet!" But other times we say, "He must really like her." *whisper* "They must be sweet on each other." Or, "He only does that for her, what a jerk." Now tell me what guy wants to bring about those kinds of reactions when he does something nice. They have to be careful that their actions aren't all towards one girl, but they have to spread it around evenly, or we flip and pout and gossip.
So, all it takes is eye contact and a nice 'thank you', or when he offers to help carry something, let him. Even if you think you can handle it, let him be a man and help you! It's easy...and fun!! :-)
And PLEASE do not think that if he helps you, he is madly in love. ;-)

I always try to remember to thank. I think chivalry is great, the only time I don't like it is when I tell them I don't want help and they do.
I like this. Very insightful!
I was googling chivalry and Piper to get some info for a brief segment I will be doing tonight on a blogtalk Radio Show. In case you guys are ever interested - this is the link >> www.blogtalkradio.com/TheGoodLife
:) Soon we will be doing a show re Modesty. It's mostly Politics but I think if I did a Modesty Segment it would be cool to get your Young Ladies opinion.
Looking forward to reading your Blog,
Miss Wendy
