    This is a question we must all ask ourselves. I feel I behave as a gentleman.

    Chivalry is not dead, but it is politically incorrect. There are still random untraceable acts of chivalry and kindness practiced in areas not under 24 hour video surveillance.

    As noted before, in other threads, this is the age of self-entitlement. Our next two generations are already programmed to ignore the common good. "What's in it for me?"

    Dead. My wife won't hold the door for me, pump gas in inclement weather for me, pay the bills, buy me dinner, etc.

    Since I've been a bachelor (and lived alone) for 30+ years,
    apparently I don't know what chivalry is

    I believe I am a gentleman,but have doubts that gentlemanly behaviour is always appreciated.Very often I have held a door open for a lady or given my Bus seat to a lady only to be snarled at like some lavicious slavering maniac who,s only ambition has an ulterior motive.Could it be that chivalry is a dying trait only to be replaced by Zombie like blank stares totally absorbed in oneself.No I will continue as I have always been caring but aware of the pitfalls surrounding polite behaviour.

    I have a couple hooches out in the woods just for you. They are more comfortable than the couch.

    it ain't dead yet but like the snail darter & the commiefornia condor it gets rarer every day. and in my humble opinion, automatic openin' doors haven't helped anything.

    Never was knighted, not a horseman, guess I'm not chivalrous. I am a gentleman, though. Different things...chevaux/chivalry.

    My probable best act of chivalry would be holding the men`s restroom door open so Hillary could enter to use the wall urinal.Robert

    I didn't vote on the poll. A better question might be - Does Chivalry have a place in today's society?

    The answer to that is NO. Today's society is totally void of gender (and moral) differences.

    What are the roots to that movement?

    Liberalism.

    The fundamental elements that allowed us to flourish as a moral and caring society have been stripped from our cultural well being.

    How do we regain it?

    You will not like the answer to that question.

    Is consider myself a gentleman. I was taught by my father and to a lesser degree, my mother.

    Sadly, I feel the ideology of chivalry has faded and replaced with instant gratification and self serving "deservatude" mentality overall.
