Chivalry Isn’t Dead! 9 Gentlemanly Things Guys Still Do

It turns out, guys still do these things.

You often hear "chivalry is dead" when it comes to the ways men treat women. While some of it's true, there are still some guys out there that do the right thing.

So when I came across this article from Elite Daily, it made me wonder if I was doing the "chivalrous" thing when it came to my wife.

Here are the 9 chivalrous things that guys still do:

Opening doors.

OK, so I definitely open doors, and not just for my wife, but any woman and for the most part any guy. It's just courteous. So I'm 1/1. Nice start.

Saving the last bite of food.

This one is kind of tricky, I came from a big family, so sharing food is not my strong suit. I've gotten better and do share while eating, but the last bite? Sorry. 1/2 50%

Spending time with your family.

Despite what you might think us radio people do after we leave the job, I am an extreme homebody. My kids are young, and my wife is pregnant, so I tend to spend a lot of time with them. 2/3

Suffering through a girly movie.

I have sat through some but not all "girly" movies that my wife has wanted to watch. I tend to tell her if she wants to watch it without me I'm totally OK with it. Dang it, 2/4 and I'm back to 50% success rate.

Sending flowers.

Don't know if this counts, but my wife and I just celebrated our wedding anniversary. I bought her flowers so that it's all good in my book. 3/5

Walking on the outside of the sidewalk.

We don't usually have to do this, but the last time my wife and I were walking around a busy city I recall making sure that I was walking on the outside. I'm giving it to me. 4/6

Kissing your forehead.

I've done this in the past. How often do I have to give a forehead kiss for me to qualify? Daily? If so, then no, but I have previously so I'm giving myself the point. 5/7

Filling up your gas tank.

I had borrowed my wife's car for something and noticed that she needed gas so I filled it up. No big deal, we have a shared bank account so it doesn't really matter to me. 6/8

Putting your jacket on.

Is this one asking me if I'm putting my jacket on? Sure I do that. I think Elite Daily might be asking if I put her jacket on. Which in that case, I do, but it's not very often. 6/9

So I scored 66% chivalrous and that I can live with. Now find someone and have them take the test and see how they do.
