True Criminals of a Dying Art.

Many of you won't believe this... I had the opportunity to take a fine, young lady out on a date.
yes mother I went on a date. Are you proud?
For those of you who are confused when I use the word date. Date: a social appointment, engagement, or occasion arranged beforehand with another person...Although at times it may seem like a true four letter word.
As one should on a date I was prompt on picking her up and as we headed towards my car I gladly opened her door for her. I continued this all night, opening doors, standing as she entered/departed the room and what not. By the end of the night I walked her to her door, thanked her for the fine evening and gave her a hug. She said to me "You a such a gentleman, thank you." Although my chivalry didn't earn me more than a kiss on the cheek it was a victory nonetheless.

I have heard many women repeat this worn line "Chivalry is dying art." Chivalry - the sum of the sum of the ideal qualification of a Knight, including courtesy, generosity and valor. So it is my job today to play Sherlock and find out the true criminals of such a crime. bias set aside of course. Many will jump the gun and automatically blame the men. Please don't.
Men do play a very large role in this crime, but not all of us. To those few gentlemen left in the world fighting the endless battle of dying chivalry I thank you. To those dudes who are either too good to show courtesy or think they are just above the law, piss off.
This is where girls become in my opinion the bigger culprit. Time and time again I have listened to girls complain to me that their, now ex boyfriend was such a jerk. Ladies... When your dude texts you to ask you out, that alone should be a sign that he is no good. If the pretty girl in this world keep falling... and falling quite hard I might add for these self proclaimed studs, chivalry will die. It's hard to compete with the competition when you have to downgrade to do it. Let your man call you to ask you out... or even just to ask you how your day was. Don't text. Does he not have time in between working out and making a protein shake? Or is he too busy trying to make that next alarm sale? Let him be a man and call you. You are gorgeous, you deserve it.
We have all seen this, a gorgeous woman with a not so good looking fellow. You wanna know what that is? That is a very smart girl who gave chivalry a chance to play it's role. She fell for a real gentleman, a genuine prince charming.
We are all culprits in this wicked battle. So men... pick up the slack. And ladies...

Next time you think you are falling for prince charming, make sure he is a gentleman.


As Always,
