Is chivalry really dead?

Wait, "Bumble"? Never heard of it. There must be thousands of dating apps, how are you guys choosing the best ones?

With Bumble if you match up the woman has to make first contact. And if she doesn't within 24 hours then she drops off.
 
So the younger generation has no manners and isn't polite?

Some of them. My brother was telling me about one of his friends that has to go through "Millennial Training" at work to deal with some of them. Their not all that way, but there is a lot of them who are.

My kids say "ma'am" "sir" "please" and "thank you". My son holds the door for his sister, his mom (I gave him shit for not holding the door for her last time we were in court), his aunt's and grandmother's. Treating people right is generally a learned behavior. There's a whole lot of "I got mine" being taught.
 
Not really sure why people think modern dating is so wack, yea I suppose its different but not really in a bad way. I've probably done 50+ dating app dates while I was available, my 2 cents:

No you don't have to get them a fancy dinner. Most women on a first date don't want a fancy dinner, either. Yes, you should meet them in a neutral place for a drink. A drink doesn't mean coffee, you're not teenagers hanging out at starbucks next to the cinema. Go find a place that is open in the evening hours, is dimly lit, and serves alcohol. You pay for her drink, and maybe several. If you are dating at your proper rung in the ladder, there is a 98% chance she is not going to bang you. If you regularly bang on the first date, it means you are slumming it and have no standards.
 
No, these boys are. You want to date my daughter, you better act like she matters.

I was not friendly with any of my daughter boyfriends. They knew what I was thinking. Still took a while after they were married. Hurt my daughter and I go to jail. :afm199

You just try them out. Each has a slightly different dynamic and demographic. For instance, Tinder is basically just a free-for-all and you meet people with all sorts of agendas and expectations. Coffee Meets Bagel is a vetting ground for attractive women who have decided that they need to find "the one" yesterday. OKQ is for people that like to write letters to each other like its 17th century England.
 
I think I included that in my post.

If you have something to say, say it.

People need to stop shitting on an entire generation that they helped create, and have greatly profited from.

Kids didn't just collectively wake up and say "Gee, I think I'll turn to shit today." They're a byproduct of the world in which they live... and they weren't the ones who created that world.

What you have experiences has nothing to do with chivalry being dead, and everything to do with you violating a current social norm. As Brokenlink said online dating is a different beast. You two basically don't know each other. Shed doesn't know if you are the man of her life, or a stalker that will murder her if first date doesn't go well.

Chivalry died with plate armor. Ditch the trilby, shave your neck, and just treat women as people who deserve respect without being on a pedestal.

:twofinger

Just kidding, play your game. It seems to be working
 
Chivalry is bullshit. It's the chevalier code. None of you are knights. You never were, never will be. Women can be revered or respected but not both at the same time. Equality comes with a lack of being put on a pedestal. Finally, chivalry assumes women need saving.

Opening a door is not chivalrous, it's just good courtesy.
