I see it everywhere and it truly bothers me- the lack of chivalry. For example, I was standing in a crowded New York City subway car and who should be standing next to me but a quite pregnant woman. Apparently the large amount of guys sitting in the seats saw no reason to get up and offer their seat to her.

Men don’t realize the benefits of chivalry. Not only does it put positive energy out into the world and its just nice to do in general, but it’s a way to get a woman’s attention. Women like men, not boys, and part of being a man is knowing how to treat, and have respect for, women. Personally, if I saw a guy notice that a pregnant woman was standing there and he didn’t offer her his seat, I would completely blow him off if he tried to talk to me. I know I’m not alone in my thought.

So what happened to chivalry? Men used to hold doors open for women, bump into them accidentally and (gasp!) say “I’m sorry. Excuse me.” instead of giving a dirty look. Hell, men used to allow a woman to walk ahead of him through a door instead of trying to beat her through, almost knocking her over. Now granted, not all men forgot the art of chivalry, however, there seem to be too many that don’t even bother with it anymore. I’m telling you guys, a little chivalry can definitely go a long way.
