When keeping your word was a stronger bond than a written contract because if you were honest and did good work people referred others to you. Women use to prefer men who kept there word, followed proper rules of conduct and comported themselves with respect for others. But the "grass is greener" concept seems to value the "bad" boy who makes his own rules or breaks them or just has none as better than someone who has rules. Rules are forms of conduct, how you deal with business, how you relate to others/family and just where the lines you do not cross are. <br />It use to be that you saw that modeled by the men in your family, fathers, grandfathers, uncles and the like but these days with the idea of "we don't need a man around" there is no example of it modeled. There were somethings I learned from my father and grandfather but for me it was old movies that showed just what Chivalry was. Robin Hood, Ivanhoe, Knights of the Round Table, Rio Bravo, Rio Grande and other westerns showed me there were men with rules, firm set rules that they did not cross and the consequence if they did. These days of you are not responsible for your actions sadly means you can break the rules without any consequence. <br />I have heard many women lament that they just want to find a "nice" guy who will respect them, without realizing that the "nice" guys have been there but were made fun of when they tried asking them out, or just insulted as to their "manliness" because they did not have a long list of women they had been intimate with and other comments that hearing them time after time just causes us to give up it is not worth the abuse. I can not count the number of times a woman has said they wanted a nice guy like me to ask them out and then in the same breath said I feel safe with you you're like a brother to me. Only to have them tell me later I would really like there new guy as he's reminds them of me.<br />As someone told me too soon old to late wise, by the time you realize what you had it is hard to get it back.<br />Like freedom it is had to get it back once it is lost.oninoqbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12777678780162282371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444550425694584077.post-87597043810516148512021-01-24T16:56:27.052-05:002021-01-24T16:56:27.052-05:00Hey Beans

The Old Ways have worked for 1000's of years, only in the last 30 to 40 have they tried to change how things are done.

Manners mean a lot to me, and Gentlemen being Gentlemen is almost a bygone art.

But they decided to break the rules and ignore them. <br /><br />I still try to becivalrous, but most "women" reject it. <br /><br />I trat a ll women as ladies, until they fail to act like ladies....which is 95% of the time. <br /><br />Women want the best of Chivalry, but aren't willing to do their part. Been happening since the 60's I think. Part of the master plan to destroy our society.

They want to dirty up, talk trash, be men, scratch, sniff, AND have someone to give them a reason to get clean, talk nice, be couth and such.<br /><br />In my time in a reenactment organization, I was called up for some award of something. It didn't matter to me. It mattered to my wife. In fact, I said, "Men are rough creatures, an empty goblet, which they willingly fill with fouled liquid. But a lady brings clean and clear liquid for men to drink, thirstily, as we need someone to tame and calm us." And, yes, the ladies swooned most fulsomely. The 'gurls' in the crowd who weren't ladies didn't understand.<br /><br />Seriously, want more overt acts of chivalry? Let women be ladies again.<br /><br />Men still jump in front of bullets, pull the innocent out of the path of cars, do things like pick up garbage and help little old ladies in the grocery store and such. Just... Where are the Ladies?<br /><br />You can't have Courtly Love without participants on both sides of the fence. You can't have Courtesy in a world of rudeness, piercings and indiscreet (not hidden) tattoos.<br /><br />Chivalry relies on the understanding of the knightly virtues. <br /><br />Honesty<br />Loyalty<br />Chaste (not no-sex, just sex with one's partner only)<br />Honor<br />Courtesy<br />Courage<br />Justice<br />Faith<br /><br />When a woman doesn't inspire these traits, Chivalry is lacking.<br /><br />Meet a girl online for a quickie? You won't be marrying her.<br />Meet a girl who's profane and uncouth and vulgar? Not taking her to see mom.<br />Meet a girl who's destroying her body and the lives around her by using drugs? <br />Meet a girl who thinks she's better in all things than a man, more equal in everything?<br />Meet a girl who doesn't want a man? <br /><br />Sound familiar?<br /><br />It's hard for men these days to find women who want to be women. That's the first thing. Men want women. Women should want men.<br /><br />Thus Chivalry...Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444550425694584077.post-9379632445709056092021-01-21T13:35:47.277-05:002021-01-21T13:35:47.277-05:00Chivalry and being a gentleman died with the adven...Chivalry and being a gentleman died with the advent of feminism, the suffragette insanity and the ridiculous notion that men an women are equal. danielbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08393881220588192280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444550425694584077.post-44240526250680207232021-01-21T09:12:47.876-05:002021-01-21T09:12:47.876-05:00I needed this reminder.

It meant to me that those decisions were made BEFORE the emergency. And they were willingly made. I read about the men falling on grenades on Pork Chop Hill in Korea, to save their buddies. I could think of no more worthy death than those. Self sacrifice for the good of someone else. As I approach the end of life, I feel I have grown weak in my resolve. That the accumulated pain of life has eroded my foundation. I still have family that I can help and those have become my "greater good". Thanks for reminding me of the need to be a gentleman, not just a mammal.STxARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588850178293194825noreply@blogger.com
