Is the a need for a True Gent in a barbaric world????

During some general observation on how folk conduct themselves, it appears that social etiquette has become virtually extinct. Social etiquette has been around since Adam was a lad, and for very good reason too! Apart from making the world a much nicer to live in, it shows respect and courtesy for others as well as yourself. As a lad I can remember my parents yelling at me that manners cost nothing and they had a point.


This week alone I have witnessed the following, that would of earnt me a clip round the ear at least.

• some spotty urk turned to his Mother and said "giz us that here now!" I can only presume  he was foreign and this was a langue similar to English and he actually said. Excuse me Mother, but could you pass me that please?
• Various people saying "excuse me!" as they barge through people, rather than waiting for them to acknowledge that they have herd and understood the request and moved to the side, to allow them through.
• people refusing to tear there eyes away from electronic devices, whilst engaging in conversation with others. (Is eye contact that unimportant these days?)

A few rules I think people should adhere to are always be polite, courteous and respectful. Don't spit, excessively curse, interrupt others and respect your elders. regardless of your age or sex this will make the world a better place.

Being a Gentleman who has manners and chivalry. Chivalry  is a completely different kettle of fish. For those who don't really understand chivalry, it comes from the medieval days of Knights. A Knight is expected to have skills and strength to kill people, they were also expected to live by the code of chivalry. 

Maybe this is why Women fantasied about a man on a white horse rescuing them....(maybe not then haha)

In my understanding, chivalry today consists of Truth, loyalty, courtesy, Justice and commitment. and all of these have a place. For example Truth :- A man who lies can not be trusted, his strength and ambitions can not be esteemed. 

For years this was passed down from father to son. I personally was taught acts of courtesy such as holding doors open, putting coats on, seating at tables and giving up my seat. for reason no other than to be respectful and to make other feel at ease and a pleasure to be in my company.

Thinking back "Girl power" kicked off and became big news in the media. Groups such as Destiny's child started promoting the strength and independence of women. singing about how they don't need men. Now I believe that women are strong and independent, but I also believe that all women like to be treated like princess. ( in her tower, waiting to be rescued by a knight in shinning armour!)

So a question is to be asked. 

Do Women really want men to be chivalrous?

And men is she worth it????
