I feel the young generation is lacking role models and I mean both genders. I told my son already years ago I want him to become a real gentleman who knows how to treat a woman - going to put another 10 years into that and hopefully at the end he'll meet women out there able to let him be a gentleman and appreciate him for it.

The first time a man opened the car door for me I did almost fight for that door cos I had no clue what he tried to do laugh by the way, he was my driving teacher crying

I think everybody should hold the door open for the person behind them, regardless of gender, age, or anything else.

The only time its excusable is when somebody can't, for whatever reason.

I think that chivalry is dying and it's not just the fault of men, it's the fault of women as well. Number 1, women aren't requiring this of their men, and number 2, women have this whole "I'm an independent woman, I don't need a man for anything" mantra. Therefore, when you continue to tell men that you don't need them for anything and that you can do everything by yourself, they start to believe it and stop wanting to do nice things for you.

I disagree with you.

I'm a very independent woman, but expect to give and receive good manners.

I call it equality.

Its healthy.

The lack of respect is within the new generation, and how they are rised....it all starts at home on how they act in public.

Children learn what they live.

My daughters learned the important things at home: respect, tolerance, compassion, empathy, generosity, etc.

I love men with manners and meet such in my daily life at work, men will always let a woman go out of the lifts first and open doors for them. It says a lot about a guy.thumbs up

i've always concidered myself a gentlemen and try to lead by example in hopes it might rub off on the people around me but seems that most guys dont care about the old ways anymore.

I have a thread around here close to this but on the positive side.

I saw a young couple one day checking out movie rentals. When they were done, he opened the passenger door and then closed it once she was in. Neither could have been more than 25 years old.
This was no more than a couple weeks ago.

Not to say that they shouldn't have good manners, but when you constantly tell a man that you are totally independent of him and that you don't want him to do anything for you, you can;t expect him to want to do things for you!

Sorry, but, I was bought up with a set of values and manners and they stay with me....I always do what folk think is old fashioned ie opening doors,giving up a seat and if the modern women who looks as this as a weakness, well I see that as a lack of manners on her part....Courtesy is a two way street to give and accept with a bit of grace is in my opinion the best thing to do. As always JMO..grin cheers cheers

Holding doors open: I have done that and still do that, however, I have also noted that some women didn't have the courtesy of saying thank you. Now, I don't let things like bad manners go unpassed, so I say in a loud voice "Thank you costs nothing".
