I refuse to believe that chivalry is dead.
I also refuse to believe that only the elder generation practice it.
I'm all for women being independent and managing their own homes, jobs, finances, families, etc. It's awesome but, we are still WOMEN and as for myself, I still like for him to open the door and extend his hand to help me out. Is it necessary? No but, the gesture is appreciated. Also, another tiny thing I admire is when he opens the door to let me walk in first and as I am walking in, his hand is slightly behind my waist as if to signifying 1. I am his company 2. If there is someone or something that's in my way he can just pull me out of caution. I guess I would consider that a "protective" gesture.
In casual settings around friends and family, chivalry doesn't have to be as prominent but, still considered. Come stand with me if I am conversing with people and join the conversation or just see how I'm doing. Show light affection like a forehead kiss or half hug (for serious couples) or a simple back caress and move on. Just show subtle acknowledgements that I am there with you.
I've also noticed, with some of my male friends, they insist on walking on the "outside" of a sidewalk (closer to the street) when walking with a woman. A woman who does not know the importance of this was not taught right or is used to the wrong type of man...I cannot recall if my ex did this since I have gotten used to blocking him out of memory but, considering I cannot think of any chivalrous gestures, he probably did not display any. But, let's not cry me a river...I've learned better.
We also must take into account that if a woman wants a man to be chivalrous, she has to be worthy of it and carry herself like a lady. It's only right. Why should he accommodate you if you have a funky attitude and is ungrateful to him.
