I think men have a hard time trying to be anything like chivalrous in todays world. I've seen women tell men off for opening a door for them! I've heard girls laughing at a lad for saying sorry! I've seen my sons girl friend refuse to let him carry her VERY heavy bag which, was weighing her down. Yes it is very difficult for todays young men to be chivalrous. Deanna Now I'm off before the womens libbers start on ME! :-0))))

Deanna I agree with you. I'm always VERY grateful if anyone offers to carry my heavy shopping. I'm also very grateful when he offers to put it all away in the cupboards as well. lol J

I m not a man hater but find it very funny how they like to open doors and carry bags, but where are they when you get that big pile of ironing out?
