What i ment was this artical is only focised on men doing things for women and women telling men to help them with things they can do themselves, i think kindness should incloud every body, man or woman. sorry if i sounded rude what i ment was that kindness should be given to all people man or woman,

Being chivalrous is part of breaking the stereotypes that have been set for teenagers. In this world teenagers are *supposed* to be selfish and uncaring- this post encourages guys to put others above themselves, treat women with respect. It's not changing to fit a gender role, it's embracing the responsibilities God set for us as men and women. It's not just guys that can do this sort of stuff either though. A girl walking with her friends (other girls) in the mall a set of doors, she can go up and hold the door open for the others. It's the same deal, putting your friends above yourself. It works both ways. Great post. :) Gabreil, I don’t think this is hypocritical at all. Being chivalrous is part of breaking the stereotypes that have been set for teenagers.

I think it is a good thing for guys to help girls out. The only thing is when do girls and guys go to far? I mean I asked a guy to hold a door open for me once and he thought I was being selfish. Any thoughts??? I like it when guys let me go first and they help carry things. I think it is a good thing for guys to help girls out. The only thing is when do girls and guys go to far?

But I'm curious, if it would be a hassle to trade spots or switch arm loads of books, is it okay to just say I got it? That's the only time I would say that, because I truly do appreciate my brothers in Christ being gentlemen, but is it okay? I'm a little confused on that. But all you guys who are striving to be gentlemen, thank you so much!! We really do appreciate it, even if we don't thank you. So I thank you now for all you do. THANK YOU GUYS!!!

I love to hold doors, carry boxes, offer jackets, hold umbrellas, pull out chairs...but there are plenty of other things we tend not to think about... when walking with a lady, make sure the gentleman walks between her and the street, so any splashing or spraying is mostly blocked from her. stand up when she enters the room, and don't be seated until she leaves, or is seated herself. you'll be more ready to serve her. offer to help her with tasks, even if they're menial. She should have to work as little as possible when you're there to help (not that she can't, and if she objects, make sure she knows that you wish to do it so she can be more comfortable, not because you think she is incompetant) there are thousands of ways to serve . just make sure your heart is pure when you do it.
