Is chivalry dead?

[Youssarian]

I remember reading somewhere in a teen-oriented magazine my youth group handed out an article that discussed this. In it, it said that the reason women, or at least teen gals, always seem to go for the badboys is because those boys demonstrate self-confidence. They're not low on themselves, and it's something that attracts them. Ladies, you can go ahead and verify me on this, as I'm no professor in this field.

Is chivalry dead? Mostly. There are still some men who practice chivalry and there are still some women who expect men to practice it. However, our culture has grown increasingly self-centered over the years, meaning the guys are too big on themselves to do anything nice for the ladies and the ladies are too big on themselves to even care if a guy does something chivalrous. And since we've grown up in this kind of society, nobody really notices or takes offense when it isn't demonstrated. In fact, I've heard of instances where someone is offended when it is demonstrated.
