Thoughts on Chivalry

Dating rules have drastically changed within the past few decades.  The spawn of the internet and dating apps have seeded the expansion of potential mates.  Darwinism, which is the theory of evolution by natural selection, has died off as far as mating goes.  Now, anyone with three eyes and a tail can find a match, all with the ease of the internet.  There are sites that even allow people that lack all their teeth to meet each other such as Farmers Only! 

Some say that chivalry is not dead and it is evident that every so often you see that men still open doors for women and offer them their jackets when the temperature is slightly below the comfort zone.  There is still an argument of whether or not it still exists.  Depending on where you live there is a gender disparity, in military areas like San Diego, men outnumber women 3 to 1 (citydata.com, 2017).  In these places, men may need to go to extremes to attract the opposite sex.  Hence, chivalry must exist there, right?  Not necessarily.

As the population of millennials grow, medieval acts of chivalry are increasingly becoming known to be sexist as women are gaining independence.  Times are changing.  True gentlemen question if they should or should not be gentlemanly.  It seems like as if acts of chivalry are performed, it could be deemed as offensive and vice versa.  What do you think?
