I consider myself a man of God with good morals who treats others with respect. As a guy, one of the most frustrating things to hear is that chivalry is dead, and that guys don’t know how to treat women anymore. However, we do know how to treat y’all, and the reality is that women don't appreciate chivalry anymore. Society plays a major role in this dilemma. I don’t know if it’s because the wave of feminism that came with Trump being in the White House or that women don’t find it attractive anymore but chivalry is most certainly not dead. I guess girls have a high attraction for the "bad boy".

I’ve lost count of the amount of times where I would have the perfect first date planned out for me and the cute girl I was interested in. It never failed hours before the date I would be ignored or told that we have to reschedule, again. I have always been the southern gentleman simply wanting a traditional, real date. You know, the one where I would pick her up, open the car door for her, take her to a nice restaurant and get to know her on a personal level. I get it though, sometimes I try too hard to show girls I’m not like the rest and maybe that scares them.

Millennial's have forgotten what a genuine healthy dating culture is, and the old culture needs to return. Instead we swipe left or right on dating apps based on if we think the person is "hot" or not. After matching with someone, we exchange a few messages, trade numbers and before you know it, they’re in our bed. A few days go by and you never hear from them again. What’s the sad part? We do it all over again. I don’t know about you, but that’s not the way my dad taught me to respect women. I’ll admit, I’ve been on those apps not expecting much. I matched with a few girls and after asking them on a real date, BAM – they vanish. Sorry I wasn’t offering to sleep with you before the date. By no means am I judging those who do. If that's your kind of thing, go for it – get the action for all of us.

Since the arrival of this new culture, girls think every guy is evil and only in it for the action. But, we’re not all alike. It drives me insane when girls think a nice gesture means we’re trying to get into your pants. News flash, it doesn’t. I still laugh at the fact I told a girl a few weeks ago she had beautiful eyes and she replied with “Sorry, I’m not interested”. Sorry for the compliment, princess. People think chivalry doesn’t exist because y’all keep tearing it down on the guys who actually try to get to know you.

Chivalry is alive and well. I for one will sit quietly at the end of the roster waiting for the right girl. I’ll continue to tell girls they have pretty eyes, hold open the door for them, and take my hat off when I tell them hello even if you tell me you’re not interested. How about y'all try and give the real date a try Instead of complaining that guys aren’t treating you correctly, because some of us are. Girls just choose to go for the jerk instead. Do all of us nice guys a favor and when you cry after the bad guy hurt you, stop crying because you told the guy who gave you a compliment you weren't interested, remember? I understand, sometimes you fall for the tricks from guys and get hurt anyway, but again, we're not all alike, some of us want to treat you right.
