More Words on Chivalry

This here is just more to say from my mind on the whole chivalry concept and it's death.

Generosity has come and gone a long way over time as generation to generations standards continue to change. What seemed to be more accepted as a way of living your everyday life way back then has seemed to become non-existent in today’s time. It makes one wonder is chivalry dead? Looking at had some of us were raised to how we may deal with others of the opposite sex does bring that question up constantly.

Chivalry may not be dead but it has seemed to have adapted to a new way of being handled.

We are in what some call the digital age. Everything is and will be handled through technology. No need to lay your jacket on the puddle for her to cross when she will gladly accept you showing her off on a social network for the world to see that you appreciate her. Chivalrous nature of how to treat and do for someone can’t be killed but how it will be accepted on a day to day basis has in a sense dumbed down. A few people will say, “Don’t get on that network and like or comment on the opposite sexes page while you’re in a relationship. That’s "disrespectful.” You can sit and acknowledge that that is what the network is made for and that nothing wrong is being done but as these times we live in continue, some can think otherwise. What is wrong with simply showing you off in the real world and doing for you there without having to let complete strangers on a social site know? Does it all have to be to the customs of how the world works now or can there still be acts that can appease one in the sense of being “Old fashioned”?

Random flowers given just because kind of does not do it anymore. Holding the door or as stated before placing the jacket on the puddle may be what is old fashioned and not with how things work anymore. When was the last time you went out on an actual date to where the male paid for the whole meal versus coming over to sit on a couch and watch Netflix and calling that a date? Couple of people have these standards in their life when they meet others because they feel it is how it is supposed to be. Some can say that they are a man and this his how a man does things and that is treating a woman like a queen. In a newer age that comes across as ghost stories when listening to your grandparents speak to how you meet your lady friends in this day and age. Why ask a girl out to dinner or to go have morning coffee when you can easily just invite her to the club and your house later and feel it is equal. What was done in the past as simple as “Let’s go fly a kite” looks to be now a days “Am I gonna be your MCM/WCW”?

Do I believe that chivalry is dead? No, but what effort you have to put into another to show off your generosity has became different. Not much to some is needed to be accomplished when it comes to showing your interest and how much someone means to you. Some can accept this new form while others may long for the way it was. Kind of comes down to how you may conform to the times with how you were raised.
