Tell me something: Do guys even hold the doors open for the ladies anymore or is that a lost art of yesteryear?

Sorry but both my sons have been raised to PAY THE BILL.
You take a lady to dinner, YOU pay, even if it's just a friend.
In my little world chivalry is not dead! My sons open doors for ladies, elderly & disabled.
They take off their hat, they say "excuse me", please & thank you and yes, they pay the tab.
sheep to the slaughter, you see many girls being raised as "ladies"?
Nope, in fact I don't.. It's sad..
But I live by the motto: You can't justify your bad behavior with somebody else's bad behavior.
That's what I tell my boys when they start making excuses..
I don't have any daughters or I guarantee they would be ladies.
We gotta start somewhere- so I make the difference where I can..
The one who ordered the lobster and wine actually asked HIM out, not the other way around. I try to be as chivalrous as possible in my ventures, but there is a line that can be crossed... My last date was at a restaurant that went from $8 burgers to $30 steaks. We were both happy to get the burgers and drink tap water, and I gladly paid as I helped her put her jacket back on and made sure to open the building and car doors for her on the way out, as I did on the way in. (We broke up for other reasons.)
I'm reminded of a time when more upscale establishments would print 2 menus. A menu with prices for males, and a menu without prices for females.

The best thing I learned from my ex wife was to open doors for the lady. That talent served me well after wife became ex.

I must be odd then. As a man I will hold a door for anybody...it's just a nice thing to do. I have never felt the need to make an exception for women. I will however go out of my way to get doors for the elderly, parents with small children, people with disiblities, pregnant women or anyone struggling with packages. As far as I know none of the women I've dated have comlained about having to seat themselves or open a car door on their own. It would have been a short relationship had they...but I like women who are independent.
As far as paying the bill, I think whoever does the invite should pay bill unless agreed upon otherwise.
Also the historical concept of chilvery wasn't based on equal rights, women were considered to be weaker and therefore required help. The honor that came with chilvrery would have been largely reserved for the nobility.
While that may be true, it isn't how I see it nor how I taught my sons to see it, I assure you.
I am not weaker than a man, I am different but just as strong- perhaps in different ways. Different but equal.
My husband was gone ALL the time for business for 20 years, I was the mom and dad in many ways.
I can repair a roof, install a new dead bolt, cut & install new wood flooring and so much more.
Yet I can rock a 6 inch pair of stilettos and a mini skirt too. LOL
To me, what I taught my sons was more of honoring a lady.
My husband says I am his "precious" and that's how I want my boys to view their future wives.
I don't view men holding the door for me or offering to change my tire on the roadside as insinuating I can't do it or that I'm weaker. I view it as considerate, gentleman like and yes, chivalrous.
Manners & being considerate of others has become the exception to the rule..
It's a sad thing, being polite was once the norm..
