Boys and chivalric behavior

"Boys will be boys" according to some. They have different perception and different understanding about life. But the thing about them is that--they tend to do things on their own. in our generation today, they see a lot differently. And they tend to forget the value of being chivalric among woman.

Yet what modifies boys from before and our boys from today? Is it about how they look, act, and how they dress? Or is it about manners, etiquette, values and virtues that a guy should possess?

It's easy to be a gentleman if you think about it as a noble act. If a person thinks it is something to be ashamed of, you are definitely wrong, being valiant means being gentle, sincere, faithful, diligent and prudent in many ways. However, the most intriguing question is--is it still practice today?

Sad to say that in our generation today courtesy or chivalric behavior no longer exist. As time pass by this acts of gentleness and appreciation are no longer implemented. Remember guys that one is chivalric because one is a good person who genuinely wants to make the world a more polite place. It is horrible to pretend to be chivalric when in fact one has Ulterior Motives! you are not allowed to expect the girl you insisted with her luggage will go on a date with you, and you are most certainly not allowed to send someone a bill for helping her change her tire. The only one thing you should expect to receive in return for chivalric act is pleasant, sincere "Thank You." And once you have said, "You're Welcome," you both may be on your Merry, Polite Ways!
