But he wants his lady to pull his chair for him. It's bizarre.

In my opinion, it's the little things that make that difference in a relationship. Yes, I could drop the chivalry/gentlemanly actions, and nobody would die. My fiance would not hurt herself opening the car door, and she wouldn't freeze to death if I didn't offer her my coat. BUT, I choose to do those things because I care for her. I don't view her as helpless in any way (quite the contrary, in fact) because of it.

Not treating a man that way may seem like the norm for some women around here and therefore make fun of those who do enjoy a woman doing all those things for a man and those men enjoy doing those things for their woman.

Those things I have mentioned that me and my girl enjoy with enjoy doing for EACH OTHER.

Some women here just offer their p*ssy in a relationship and think that is what makes them a lady, interesting. Society seems to accept prostitution in certain cases.
I don't treat my husband like a woman, like a lady, like a fair delicate flower that needs to be protected. I treat him according to his needs, which happen to be for a man. And I don't buy this American woman bad rap crap. none of us have had any trouble in relationships and love. I'm sure you are quite familiar with prostitution but don't assume your life and experiences are shared by everyone. I also do not believe for one second that any intelligent, educated, sane woman with her shyte together is going to be pulling the chair for a man that wants to be a woman.

Some women around here have even thought that good manners should be left to those who are strong (men). How convenient, eh? I’ve received chivalrous treatment from women (see my post on page #5 and a page before this one) and they didn’t have to be strong to offer that treatment to me. It was quite refreshing to see that even though she was a woman, she still offered me that nice chivalrous treatment.
I think you're confusing things. Being a lady does not equate cooking, cleaning, and raising the kids.

If other guys can't score a cool woman who brings that much to the relationship then too bad.
Actually, a man who scores with a woman that offers a lot and a man accepts it he gets made fun of, considered gay, a dickless man, a fragile man, etc. I just shared an example of the many things my girl does for me, which I do as well, and all of a sudden I get fingers pointed at me. Why? Because it seems to be unusual. People don’t make fun of something that is “normal”, do they? Nobody will make fun of, say, a couple that went for a walk at a park because there is nothing unusual about that. But have me or someone else share the things our girl did for us and look what happens. Hey, unusual or not, WE (“we” as we do that for EACH OTHER) get to enjoy it.

Look, female posters are still making fun of this. I don't blame them.

But to berate women constantly on a forum is just pathetic.
Both genders get slammed. Only difference is that slamming the male gender seems to be acceptable. Even female posters here tell men to quit their complaining, it’s only a joke, it’s only a game, etc.

Apparently many women believe there is still room in the world for a guy to be gentleman.
Were y'all at the Mill Casino?
