My Grandmother would have hopped out of her grave and boxed my ears if I had dared treat a lady that way. As usual DBV, your counsel is wise and your sentence is just.

I have taught my son. He was told by a young girl that she didn’t need his help 👀he looked at me and I told him with her standing there,”hold that door son, it’s not your fault that she hasn’t been taught to act like a lady, but you have been taught to be a gentleman, so hold the door with your head up !! “ She looked at me and I gave her the Mom look🤨 and she went through and into the store😅

Having been married nearly 31 years, I can say that good manners, especially the chivalrous kind, go a long way to cementing a relationship.

I went on a picnic with a woman last July. I opened the car door for her every time she entered or exited my car. I also paid for the refreshments and brought her back safely to our mutual friends. Hugs were shared, but i didn't push it.

Many years ago, my then teenaged granddaughter was visiting, and after opening the driver's door for my wife, I walked around and opened the door for her as well. I did not know it at the time, but she was shocked since this was something that she wasn't used to. She told me later that it opened her eyes to her value, and that she added that to what she was looking for in a partner. I am pleased to say that she ended up choosing well, and i am proud to have played a small part in that.

I am so grateful my mother in law and father in law raised a well mannered man. Now I see him teaching the young . As I will teach the young ladies how to behave correctly and be well mannered decent adult ladies one day.❤

Point of order… if it please the council. My understanding is that the youngling in question has not yet received his man card due to being on probation until he has proven himself worthy. I therefore propose that the accused be given an extensive remedial class. I also propose that the mentor of this individual come under immediate review for failure to properly train the next generation… how say the high council.

Fellow gen x here and also a woman, chivalry is appreciated by most ladies, myself included, HOWEVER if you want to be treated like a queen it goes both ways, treat your man like he's your king in return ladies! 💙💙

Grand Counsel My apologies sirs but it would prove to be a fruitless attempt to explain to those born in the time after. When we of the times before were born with chivalry engrained in our DNA.

I second the motion

You Sir, should be required viewing for all younglings. ❤

Six months waiting out side the dressing room. Well, dire crimes call for dire punishments. Personally I would have been tempted to add attendance to at least 4 feminist book club Sunday brunches but I am getting somewhat cranky in my old age so I might defer to others for a more merciful decision.

I hereby request an amendment to the man code. It needs to be added to article 12 to add a subsection that would increase the punishment. The punishment would add carrying her bags of bought goods through the shopping establishment.

I USED to be the gentleman with ALL women/girls growing up as I was taught. I've spend most of my life doing this even when those women/girls didn't act like Ladies should (and how I was taught Ladies should and how my sisters were taught how Ladies should act) We even all went to manners school and finishing schools here in the South. So I had a clear understanding how 'traditional men and women SHOULD act in society and with each other, even behind closed doors. while this may have applied in past generations of dating. with 'modern, boss babe, independent, 'I don't need no man' women' this chivalry no longer applies... they wanted 'equality' and 'to be treated just like a man', thus we now treat them like men. I don't open doors for my male friends, I don't cover the check for my male friends, I don't gossip on the phone with my male friends, I don't 'cover the bills' for my male friends, I don't get flowers for my male friends, I don't give up my seat for my male friends, and I don't go shopping or antiquing with my male friends.... NOW, IF they want to go back to being 'traditional' women, We'll go back to being 'traditional' men.... chivalry and all...

Gen Xer, and proud parent. Not only did I train 2 sons to graciously open doors, and offer to help as needed, but taught my daughter to look the Holder of the Door in the eye, smile, and give a pleasant "Thank you".

Your services are needed to keep the man code manual inforced. Including then gen X manual

She should have just stood there and when he opened it from the inside she it was a big nope. She should have just turned around and went back to the house. Guys like that are not worth the effort especially on a first date. That punishment should have been having to go to ten stores a day and have to purchase female monthly items for two weeks

I am going to keep my mouth shut because i was taught "if you don't have any nice to say the keep your mouth shut"

I'm with you, Dad. Your recommendation for realigning this young fellow has great merit and should be considered. However, I believe the Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. The boy does need remedial training, though, no doubt. As a long-standing member of the Boomer wing of the Man council, I might point out this youngster may not yet be serious about his dating regimen. He appears to believe he is still the main character in his little drama and has yet to grasp he has become an NPC when he decided to "date." I think his punishment is simply to endure what he has wrought by his own hand, with no opportunity to escape. Place him in a controlled environment... controlled by the lady of his choice... and allow nature to take its course. What say you?

That was something you'd do for a bro, not a potential life mate. I am willing to bet she is no longer considering YOU for Hers. Manners, guys. Its basic kindness.

Man, that's hard time you sentenced him to. It has driven many men to insanity.

I AGREE 💯 PERCENT WITH THAT PUNISHMENT!!! Though to be fair, he did open it for her just not from outside the car.

Does he have to pay for the new clothes she is trying on? Or do we save that for the next step if he continues down this path?

I’ve opened a lot of doors for a lot of ladies. Every time I’ve done it for a woman who’s older than me she is grateful and treats me like I’m a gentleman. Every time I’ve done it for someone around my own age or younger they at best make fun of me and don’t appreciate it, but more often they get mad and treat me like it’s misogynistic. Chivalry is dead among the youth because young women killed it.

I agree. Also, getting out of the car and opening the door for her looks less bothersome. 😂

I have two sons and I have taught them to open the door for women they are respectful say yes ma’am no ma’am yes sir no sir my nephew was also learning my niece understands that that is something that is important for a man to do for her

The Man Council of the Great State of Florida recommends Gentleman's Training 101 to be administered by a Master Gentleman or higher rank.

These are perilous time we live in. We may attempt to educate this young generation according to the code and the rulings of the council, but it is as affective as casting pearls amongst swine. We can only teach the teachable, I fear many will be lost. But, in the face of the feminist movement, the deck is stacked against the uneducated. I agree with the council’s ruling

Hey...i like this attitude!! Luckily I'm old enough to remember this sort of thing!

This brings a memorable moment back to me from my past when my Mother and Father would take my sister and I out for an evening meal. My Father would always say "Treat a Lady Like She is On A Pedestal". Now years older, since the day we met I always open the vehicle door for her, even when we leave the house. I say probation for one year with the approval of an old time to teach this young man the lessons on how to treat his lady!

I live on the left coast. I was raised in the mid west. The left coast is the first place I have lived where you get yelled at for holding the door. I now just tell the woman, "I am more afraid of my dead mom than I am of you. I will hold this door for the others around you."

There is the locked door test! Unlock and open her door. She is a keeper if she leans over and unlocks your door by the time you walk around the car.

The problem is there is this misconception and society that equality equals the exact same product when really, equality between men and women means that although we are different, what we both bring to the table is equally important It means that men don’t need to treat women like men, just respect that although what we bring is not the same as what a man would bring and will a man can’t bring with a woman brings, we need each other and we need both So get out and open the door, you’re not being sexist if you do that

God damn I enjoy your videos!

There are so many reasons for why men should have the cutesy of many things they do. Like walking toward the road side of a sidewalk. Safety as well as well, women are considered open for the taking if she walks on the roadside. And I am sorry, but men if you can't find it in your hearts to kindly get out of the car to open the door for her... The women will then assume your just lazy and not worth going on another date with. If a women is expected to do her part, you must do yours. I would of turned around and walked inside without another though nor another date. I don't do lazy as I expect a man hopes that I am not lazy as well. But again the way these young ones are being taught in this day and age... I blame it all on the parent and the lack of communication and honor and respect parents should and need to teach there kids. Just saying. A good man knows his place and respects others as he respects his self. And that was just disrespectful in my opinion. Better yet if I have been dating someone who eventually does that, he may have a longer ear lobe once I am through pulling his lazy rear end out of that car and teaching him how to respect me and women in general. Believe me, no man has ever or would ever treat me with such regard like that. But again I am a Gen Xer as well.

The punishment recommendation is an exceptional idea for violation of this man code law! I second the proposed motion for this punishment.

All those in favor, say "Aye". Those opposed, say "Nay". This vote of the High Council of Men is now open.

In his defense, men for decades have been told by women that they can open their "own damn door".

My boy is 13 and he will run for the door to open it for women. (Practically knocks everyone down in the process on the way to the door, he is a huge monster) but nonetheless, he opens the door for women. hopefully god will grace him with a little patience and coordination someday.

Back in the day I used to take a coworker to lunch frequently and I always open the door of my car for her. Not to be a gentleman but because the door on my junk monte carlo was too hard for her to open

My father would drop my mother and I off at the front of any store we went to and then went and parked. I have never been shocked when a man opened a door for me. Taught my son the same.

I second the motion 🫡

In the bedroom getting ready for work this morning. My wife leaves before I do. We said bye and I opened the bedroom door for her

I once opened a door for a female person and she said...I dont need your help, I told her "I was taught to treat Ladies with Respect and Open the Door for them, so I guess I wasted it on you instead!! And I smiled as she furrowed her brow and cursed me under her breath :-)

He probably honked for her, too. 😂

Dude deserves to miss out on everything he just lost out on.

Those are rules for traditional men apply to dealing with traditional women. These ain't traditional women, they're modern women.

And here I am, the asshole who did a paintball gun ambush on my first date ... best relationship of my life.

Hold on hold on hold on now. We don't know the backstory as to why he's not opening up the door. The date could have been bad and she could have been terrible. So he wanted to treat her the same way he got treated during the date

Don't they just jump in first and slide over? Is there a addendum for trucks?

Nah, first date and she pulls out her camera the instant she doesn't like something? She's walking. Assuming the title is right, this means her first instinct was to publicly humiliate him rather than have a private conversation about her expectations. He should have driven off as soon as the phone came out.

Just as there was greater adherence to the Chivalric Code in the Before Times, so to did the fairer ones pay heed to it's counterpart. Men who behaved as louts were turned away from the civilized circles. Womenfolk weren't all to behave as damsels in distress, but there were certain limits to behavior. One could actually be charged as a 'harridan'. It was a situation best avoided.

Once a again i will leave it alone because i agreed

Shivery......god i love youtube subtitles.

not in this new dating world hell no

Chivalry is a warriors/knights code, the only thing it has to do with women is to protect their honor, of which many women today have none. Opening the door for her is a courtesy.

Gentlemen of this most honored council i object! Prosecutions use of the word "Chivalry" in this context is false The use of the word was used in the treatment of men of Noble Birth captured in battle or defeated in tournament

Hold the door, open the door, get her jacket/coat, give her flowers, do all things a gentleman should do... just don't pay for her fucking meals until you're married.

Lol, that is all I got. I am not going to dab into this situation. I am X and I am out.

Seems like we have lost shame.

For the few first dates with exemptions for special cases. Being married as long as I have if my wife expects me to open the door she's gonna be standing there as I drive away

😂😂

O/ seconded

Parenthesis under sentence4= No Chivalry 'IF' she already likes you & pursued you & you are using the Barely interested tactic.. it works but then again it's real & barely a tactic. Dude in video was over the BS.

Chivalry is dead and women killed it

🤣🤣🤣

hahaha yep

ignore the protest. conduct yourself as a MAN

Easy work around. Just take the doors off of your Jeep.🤣

The younglings need to have a course in "How to Be a Man" that would be remedial and costly. All proceeds would go to the Man Trip, organized by DBV, at a future date. All in favor say "Aye!"

If she's got at the very least one hand, then she can open her own damned car door, or get left on the curb.

Suspended

Chivalry is dead. Feminism killed it.

You have to be a man first.

After 12 years I still open doors for my wife.
