So let me extrapolate your meaning, you think that treating a woman with deference and respect is pointless if you're not going to get laid;or that if you are a nice guy, they owe you sex.

If I'm wrong I apologize, but the entitled assholes out there are making me, and all other regular assholes look bad.

There are plenty of decent men and women in this world and many of them are also quite civil and polite, however there does seem to be a slide in the level of civility and politeness of the general population. Provided the person you are dealing with wasn't raised in a barn by a pack of weasels it shouldn't be too difficult to meet civilized people with manners and provided you yourself are up to the standard you hold others to then you should have no issues. Work harder at being polite and civil, even if it isn't reciprocated, it's not a reflection upon you but upon them. Aim higher, if you want to soar with the eagles then it does you no good to hang out with a bunch of turkeys. Best of Luck to You.

There ya go

Allow me to clerify my question I posted earlier . 1. It was two separate questions and . 2. There may have been a few errors in grammar & spelling. On with first question is there any decent ladies out there ? From my experiences it may be few and far between allow me to demonstrate a few examples of why I may think this way that gives me a “bad taste in my mouth” example . 1. Ghosting when you think you have made a genuine connection and it would seem that it’s out of nowhere that you don’t see a reply back how decent Is that would it not be more decent just to say “sorry I’m not interested “and be done with it ? And example number.2. Again when you think you have made a genuine connection and you set up a date and they don’t show again how decent is this behaviour and in my opinion I think that both examples are pretty rude and for question number . 2. Is chivalry dead? I think it is just from the way when you open a door and you don’t get a thank you for it ; I hope this clerifies why I am highly frustrated and my question.

i like to ask a lady for a hankie or a garter, and then engage in some protracted siege warfare against some Goths, maybe some Jutes or Saxons, depending on when were talking, then take a break for some jousting on horseback, then maybe jump off and finish a chump off with a mace or an axe. Then, a speech about grace and mercy to the serfs and rabble, before we all contract cholera or the plague, or ergotism, which is of course witchcraft, and so, the village or country must be punished in chivalric fury. There may also be Saracens and Moors afoot, so, its off for a decade or so of more plague/war. Thank youmfor the ribbon, fair damsel!

What's the difference between chivalry and politeness? I go out of my way to try and be polite to everyone regardless of gender. What more has to be done to be chivalrous?
As far as there being "decent" ladies, I guess that to depends on how "decent" is being defined. I know several woman that come to mind when I think of decent people.
I feel that asking both of these questions together is maybe a display of frustration. That you are feeling as if you are giving a society your "chivalrous" behavior and you feel as if you deserve a "decent" lady in return. This is common in a lot of males in our culture, but it is not the way the world works any longer.

What's decent about chivalry? It's all about taking power away from women. So, im ok with a man opening the door for me if he's ok with me opening the door for me.

Chivalry is alive in pockets, but it is not what people think it is.
There are very many amazing wonderful women in the world.

I've been married for nearly twenty years and I still open the door for my wife. Not because she can't open her own door just because I respect and love her. I have reverence for her for giving me six wonderful sons.

I teach my sons the same things. Respect and mutual admiration are the cornerstones of long happy relationships.

You might want to read up on ALL the codes of chivalry. A lot of it had very little to do with "decency".
As far as there being "any decent ladies remaining in this world", there are plenty. You obviously haven't been looking in the right places.

If, by "decent" you mean the conservative type women who actually want to settle down and have families, and like a man to take care of them?

You'll have better luck going after cis hetero women, as most of the women on this forum are androgyne (even if they're not aware of it) , thanks to their above average IQs, since most creative, high IQ people are mixed gender (androgyne).

I'm a partial transmale who lives as an androgyne woman, and I have enough male traits to feel insulted and outraged when a man tries to protect or help me, but my female side LOVES and prefers men who do this.

When I'm in male mode, I can't help myself trying to help women..walking on the outside of the sidewalk, opening doors, paying for stuff, which women quickly sense and start taking advantage of. For this reason, I hide my male side when around women and stick to my female mode side to avoid being manipulated.

It is medieval.

I tried to be chivalrous but I couldn't afford a horse!
