? do you think Chivalry is dead or in a coma

I'm not sure of many people who don't have an opinion on this one. and for those that don't know what chivalry is in the first place, they don't count anyway.. Now i'm speaking of chivalry in gerneral terms because of coarse many people are still practacing proper habits, the majority are not though.. the definition of chivalry is the combination of qualities expected of the ideal medieval knight such as courage, honor, loyalty, etc. and it emphisizes consideration for others, especially women.. as a gender men are slipping big time with this. we're more inclined to walk through a door and hold it open, instead of opening and letting your lady go through first. not being super chivalrous doesn't exclude you from being a great man. but not having any does exclude you from all consideration.. the issue i believe most men have with practicing chivalry is the fact that they don't think most women deserve it.. the logical next question would be 'why would you date someone who doesn't deserve chivalry?'. the same reasons why you would date someone who does. great companionship, random sex, or both. and most of the time it's the sex.. But women need to step their game up also.. yeah i said it.. and if your on your shit than disregard my next few sentences cause i'm not addressing you.. You see chivalry is a privilege not an obligation. too many women are taking it for granted without obtaining the proper prerequisites for the acceptance of such gestures.. such as class, respect for yourselves, being humble, etc.. Now i personally don't discriminate, i practice chivalry with good girls as well as ho's. but i have been out on a date semi-recently and didn't initiate any type of chivalry because it wasn't necessary. i mean she was fine but she didn't know chivalry from cavalry, so i was gonna have a good night regardless.. But even with my dating experience i do believe that chivalry should be practiced at all times. you should always be on your shit even if no one wants to join you.. So i guess chivalry is in a coma because being a gentleman and performing decent habits will never go out of style.. I personally don't think it's too much to ask from men and women.. Everyone should be held to higher standards... what do you think?
