@ericawordsmith  –  I respectfully agree to disagree. 😀 Can we see the fan art, though? Pretty please?! I need a fangirling squeal moment. Or maybe tomorrow since you need to go to bed. And I should have been in bed before now, as well. This place is addictive.

I’m very fortunate with the young men in my acquaintance because outside of my family all the ones I know are at church and here where chivalry is still very much alive from all that I can see. I have run into some total jerks, but I’ve also run into complete strangers who held doors, called me ma’am even though I was younger, and helped unload groceries when my mom was at the car and I was holding my baby sister, so that gives me hope. It’s still out there. It also depends too on your definition of chivalry. Is it just holding the door for people? And chivalry can be a guy helping a guy, or a girl can be chivalrous. It’s not just a guy helping a girl thing, even though that’s what it’s usually thought of as. Chivalry is just a quality trait, and not exclusive to guys, thought mostly you see guys being it because they are the stronger protectors. One thing I read about it that I like is that ‘chivalry is to be shown without it being asked for’. I think it is more than just holding a door or carrying a box, with can be done without an attitude of chivalry. It’s a deeper attitude of kindness and respect and servitude to others.

Oops. I just realized that all I just wrote could start you on a rant about chivalry… sorry.
