obedient to my liege-lord,
foremost in battle,
courteous at all times,
champion of the right and the good.

Thus swear I,

A lady I've met has something in her profile that a "knight in shining armor" usually turns out to be a doofus (but I don't think that's the word she used) "wrapped in tin foil".

She seems nice otherwise, but I don't see any prospects for a lasting relationship with her, I'm just not what she's looking for.

For some, the day of the knight has passed. It leaves one spending nights in a daze.

Persevere, oh Brother Kramar!

The bolded portion above, greatly interested me...thanks for your feedback Georgianbelle. Just wondering in terms of a follow-up question, what do you think it is exactly, that makes a man with saintly or heroic aims, "less" of a man, and/or unmanly? Is it the celibacy factor alone, based on the conventional archetype?

For me, I aim to be celibate, until a (hopeful future) marriage. After a marriage, is when the celibacy would end so to speak, but not before. While not a priest, I do aim to keep myself physically pure until after a marriage commitment. Lol...it's interesting that you mention the "priesthood" factor, because at one point in my life, I had actually seriously considered, becoming a priest, believe it or not...

Not only that - I hardly see a priest as saintly. Not with the rep they have these days.

Most women wouldn't KNOW what to do with a Galahad type nowadays, since so few are Guineveres - I think that's part of the problem.
