This may sound cynical but let's be honest... are there any good single men left?!? Now I'm not asking for much... Someone who is caring, compassionate, mid to late twenties, likes to laugh and go dancing, have Saturday morning sleep-in's together; Enjoys going for drinks now and then, dinner... movies; Someone who wants a relationship and is willing and mature enough to put a little effort into it. A man who takes his career seriously and respects that I do as well; someone who likes to travel with friends or just fly off for a romantic weekend break together. Do men like this still exist or have I just yet to meet one? Or maybe this is asking too much...? Thoughts, ideas or comments??

Most of thats has nothing to do with chivalry, thats opening doors, walking roadside of a lady etc which does still exist although admittedly its changed slightly.
You just want a nice guy thats single which is fair enough, and yes they exist too, while I'm taken (I class myself as a nice guy) I have plenty of mates who are both single and nice guys. Either your looking in the wrong places or like many girls the guy has to prove himself nice insted of being nice untill proven not to be.
It is actually just as hard for a guy to find a girl with the equivilant profile, even though thats what most people want in a partner and would describe themselves as fitting that description. I think everyone just wants everything straight away now and move on if its not there rather than seeing if it will appear.

Chivalry is a dying trait that you will find less of in today's generation. Unfortunately, many women have fostered this as they have become more independent. I still hold the door for a woman but it is amazing how many times they do not even acknowledge this simple act anymore with a thanks or even a nod of the head. I believe it is very important for women to be independent these days but don't kill romance because you don't need the man to pull out that chair for you or hold the door. Just recently I was accused of being strange because I was concerned about how she felt when we had plans to go out. I knew she had not been feeling well that day, but I was informed that I did not have to worry about it. So what can you do? Good luck finding what you are looking for, I think you will eventually.

Believe it or not it really is alive. I know a man just like you're describing, a guy who could use that charm to have a line of conquests, but wouldn't dream of it. They exist, I've seen them. I only wish that the model of modern day chivalry wasn't my cousin. Oh well maybe while he's at college he'll teach some of the lesser examples of the species that there's a better chance of getting on a lady's social calender if she's treated with respect.

A maximum decisive and resounding NO! Chivalry isn't lifeless, despite the fact that it has usually fallen via the wayside using fact human beings don't be attentive to what to do with it whilst it extremely is presented. Gallantry is now wrong for creepiness.

There are lots of men like those you describe.
But the idea of chivalry is another matter: it is an idea that demands female subservience. Essentially, Chivalry is a dead ideal, and probably, thankfully so, as no medaeval kniight would respect that you took your career seriously.

How I wish I'd met someone like you thirty years ago! I think we'd have made sweet music together. Seriously though, I'm sure there are plenty of suitable candidates around. It's just a case of finding them. Perhaps you could try different places to meet people, or even join a reputable introductory service. I wish you luck.

You can find a compromise out there. For instance, I fit the bill for everything you mentioned, with the exception that I do NOT take my career seriously! I hate my job, because I work in the garbage industry. So instead, I laugh about it... which was another thing on your list! :-)
You wont find EVERYTHING, but if you can get some of the things you like, along with being attracted to them, you'll be ok!

Chivalry is a contract used by medieval knights, which made them promise to fight for the good of the people, to keep thy's honor, and other such things. But no, I would not consider it to be dead. There are scarce men who can fullfill all those duties, but there are good men out there.

Chivalry is not dead. It's just very hard to find!! Today, it's hard to find parents that instill these values into their kids. It's not so much the parents fault by any means. Todays economy requires a household to have 2 working adults to just maintain it, and that leaves, in most cases, very little time for parents to spend with the kids, teaching them values. If you find a guy like that, HOLD ONTO HIM!! They are very few and far between! Keep looking, cause he is also looking for you. There's someone for everyone.......We just need to find them, or them find us!!

I would class myself as chivalrous, my Dad bought me up well and I am told I am a nice guy. However all the women who I like always seem to be attracted to men who treat them like crap, then complain about it! Personally I would love to find a girl like you but the probl;em is there are too few of you.
