Just one thing though, you might want to be careful if you say something like,"I just want to serve you" because many girls might take it the wrong way. It is probably better to say something like Jared said,"But I want to help".Thanks. Sarah Brett,

Im a sixteen year old guy, and it has been discouraging to see that girls now think that someone opening a door for them is like a pickup line. I guess I just want to encourage all the guys out there who are holding the doors, just to have someone walk through the other one.

"Counterfeit Chivalry" or not, it's very easy to receive that kind of courtesy and attention as long as you're pretty and thin. If you're not.... I guess they expect you to be able to take care of yourself.

I must admit, along with a few other sisters on this post, that in the chaos of our culture influences it's easy to respond to a gentlemanly kindness with a, "that's ok, I've got it". This is a solid small hard thing to pursue! My heart goes out to exhort you brothers and sisters who passionately and urgently embrace the beautiful complimentary design that our Creator wove into both men and women. There's a desperate need for rebelutionaries to answer the call to live out God's purposed design for men and women found right from the beginning in Genesis. It's a design God purposed, not to hinder and inconvenience, but to prosper and bless the nations through. It's all for His glory. Thank you Brothers. Continue pressing through and persevering in chivalry allowing your sisters opportunities to embrace their Creator's feminine design. Thank you Sisters. Contine pressing through and persevering in exhorting and "allowing" brothers to embrace their Creator's masculan design also. This is a foundational hard thing to become faithful in that has the potential to impact the world! You're a rebelutionary! As we're serving one another in these ways, remember 1 Corinthians 10:31 "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." Thank you brother!

This is awesome!! And it's completely convicting me! I've been trying to accept chivalry more, but just yesterday I did that; "It's not that heavy" thing. I was carrying a computer and asking where I could put it. A guy offered and I gave it to him, but my pride remembered to say those selfish words. Afterwords, I kicked myself! I've been trying not to do that! Thank you, though. This is very encouraging. Oh, wow! This is awesome!! And it’s completely convicting me!

I don’t think I’ve ever even had the chance to pull a, ” Thanks, but I can manage.” line:) It’s kind of sad." Same here. I don't think I've ever had to say "Thanks, but I can get it". I have, on the other hand, had to say "You could hold the door for me" a few times. :) I wish gentlemen were more plentiful in my area.

Same here. I don’t think I’ve ever had to say “Thanks, but I can get it”. I have, on the other hand, had to say “You could hold the door for me” a few times. :) I wish gentlemen were more plentiful in my area.

I have never wanted to bother people or get in their way. My best friend has CP and so I'm always the one helping her. I feel like no one likes me but, I don't know why. I've given up trying to fit in with the cliques because I was shunned every single time. Half the time if people come up to me it's because their moms have made them. When I do go over with them they ignore me there as well. I can't break into a conversation because I don't want to be rude. No one notices me least of all the guys. If a guy is talking to me it's because we've been assigned as partners for school. They don't open doors for if anything they run to get in the door first so that I'm the one holding the door. The adults all feel sorry for me but to every one else I'm invisible. They talk to my best friend but not usually when I'm around. I don't want to be invisible!
