I hear that morals are cyclical and hopefully things like this will make a comeback here in America and hopefully in my lifetime. I get really turned on when men do things as simple as bow to me, tip their hat, and call me ma'am. A lot of Caribbean men have done that for me, and a few American men but not as many. I drool when men do these things and I could just kiss them.

it's sad, but true: a lot of it has to do with Woman's reaction to how a male acts. the thing is, part of a woman's job (i think) is to help a man and encourage him to become Better. so if he's rude, obnoxious, etc, a woman needs to gently teach him what is Acceptable behavior. this is true vice versa too, but overall i think women are more naturally inclined, or even pushed, to be polite and not too obnoxious.
think of it this way... a guy who's mean, rude, and he has a girlfriend. she let's him act that way because "he's the man", or she's afraid to lose him, etc. he will NEVER EVER learn to treat her right. even if she deserves it and puts up with his maltreatment. BUT, if she puts her foot down, let's him know that it's unacceptable to act that way, he will change IF and only IF he loves her enough.
so in a nutshell, u are ensuring the men that are NOT worth it to leave, and teaching the ones who ARE worth it to be more Masculine, or Chivalrous, etc etc. whatever a Good Man should be.
this is true for women too.. women need to learn to be Good Women, Smart, Independent, Strong, and able to be a good support for her future husband. i'm not saying women can't be "equal" to a man, but seroiusly speaking all of us women would want a Man who is Good, Take Charge, Makes good Decisions, etc etc... not someone who does whatever we say, and not someone who has no mind of his own. i know it's hard to explain, but i think we need to help each other.

Manners are still seen here today, but there is just a vast cultural difference between countries, and even ethnic groups on what manners are. Tipping a hat may be more common in the Carribbean or in Europe. In the United States, manners have gradually change and everyone has their own opinion on what manners should be expected. But to be upfront with your question, I don't think men in the Unied States will be tipping hats (we are in the 21st century, that was more common in the 18-19th centrury). You may want to move if you want men to be tipping hats.I notice you even reffered to it as Chivalry, which I hear a lot in Great Britain. You may want to try there! lol

When women become ladies again, Chivalry will return.
Many women today are sharp-tongued, agressive, and "in your face." They aren't even gentlemen, let alone ladies.
They'll cut you off, give you the finger, and then expect to have the door opened for them, as if they are a delicate flower.
Chivalry is how "ladies" were treated. More ladies = more chivalry.

We have to teach our sons how to be chivalrous. When that happens---when people decide it's important--it will happen again. There has to be a big societal movement/shift towards it. Women in general have to give the green light. They have to decide that they won't be offended, but rather--feel honored by gentlemen doing what gentlmen do.

You're out of luck.. Between the ghettofication and the Latinization of America, it just ain't gonna happen.

As soon as women start expressing that that's what they want.
I'm as chivalrous and well-mannered as they come, but no one ever gives me a second glance. They probably think it's 'cause I'm gay or something to be that courteous... :S

Because deep down most women don't want that. They like guys with edge, mean while really nice guys get no love.
