First, ‘Yo Mamma’ has anger issues that should probably be resolved before our society trusts him to be around members of either gender. Chill out brother. Put down the knife.

Second, amen. About the article. That Admin wrote. That you’re reading right now…moving on. I think that the author’s definition of chivalry is “guy trying in his own misguided way to arrange a hook up without sounding like he wanted to see me again”. Or in other words, what the author seems upset with is the ‘macho’ shell that this a-hole was hiding behind rather than exhibiting his very real sense of vulnerability.

That’s fair. Certainly, it’s more ‘macho’ or rather takes more courage to show our sensitive side than to hide behind a Baronic veneer. Dating is one of the most painful experiences on earth for either gender because it forces us all to come to terms with our own inadequacy. Every time we ‘put the vibe out there’ we risk that our potential suitor will see something less desirable in us than we see in them. Our greatest fear is not that we’ll end up dating ‘up’ by finding someone out of our league. Rather, we’d settle for dating ‘down’ if only to assure ourselves that we’re the better half of any coupling. It is better to find another’s flaw and reject them first than to allow them to see our shortcomings.

For that reason primarily, dating is terrifying. Perhaps that is why our mystery jogger sought to frame his request the way he did. It also helps explain how our author found the reason that she did to put said a-hole behind her.

Thus we drink to the death of this faux chivalry. May it’s death come swiftly by our courage to be honest with each other and ourselves.

What?.. chivalry? I’m afraid you are extremely confused about the proper meaning of chivalry and/ or chivalrous.
-courtesy towards women.
-a distinguished gentlemen.

It’s that kind of misinterpretation that has given such a admirable and fine quality such a distorted and disdainful name.

Women work against themselves in three ways.
1. They tend to stab each other in the back.
2. Women compete so intensley for men, that they often throw their moral values out the window. Like Dave Chapelle said “If pussy were a stock, it would be at an all time low” Then women have the audacity to turn around and demand that men behave like gentlemen. That they be CHIVALROUS! Ha well there can be no gentlemen if there are no ladies. And I believe that it works one way. It is women who set the standards on the dating scene. All men care about is getting some action. If we could attract a woman by living in a cardboard box we would! To hell with the big house, nice car and all that crap.
3.The last thing women have done to hurt themselves is push for complete equality in every facet of life. I think women should have the right to vote. Women should be paid the same as men for the same work. All that stuff is great! Im all for it! But the feminist movement has gotten out of hand! Women are not men! And women need to remember that. I think women sometimes forget that they are not men.
At one point I found myself so brain washed by the feminist agenda that I thought twice before opening doors for women, before offering a hand to a woman carrying something heavy, before offering to pay for her meal on a date and at one point I gave women extremely firm hand shakes. I remember firmly shaking the hand of my ex girlfriend’s mother. I really squashed her hand. She was some what shocked, And it was then that I realized that maybe I should not treat women completely as equals. Perhaps I should have shook her hand a bit differently considering the fact that she is a woman.
Iam only now slowly coming to the realization, that all though women demand equality in every facet of life, they dont really mean every facet of life, just some facets! How confusing is that!
