Does Chivalry worth the need to learn?? I'm not trying to learn it to impress women. I just want to know how to be chivalrous among your peers in the working life, as a boss how to be chivalrous towards your employees or as a superior how to do it to your subordinates, regardless of male and female because I discovered that people who are chivalrous tends to be very well respected by a lot of people regardless of peers or foes especially by their subordinates but nowadays people are no longer chivalrous, even the media always shows that those people tends to get aways are those who are not chivalrous. Even my family also never teaches about chivalry. However I discover that chivalry tends to be taken advantage of it and the hardest fact that is you have to do it also to your enemy. I only know about historical individuals who are famous for chivalry is erwin rommel although he serves for the NAZIs. So guys and girls, whats your opinion on this??

I hope you will take the time and make the effort to develop chivalry. I can only speak from a 40-year-old woman's point of view, but it will make your life and the lives of others who meet you so much better. It's a frame of mind and a life choice that will make you respected and valued as a friend, a lover and even as an adversary.

Speak well and write well. Treat every human being with the greatest respect. Be completely honest and without manipulation. Never speak ill of others and do not gossip. Do not allow yourself to be provoked. Give until it hurts, but don't show it. Always take the hardest task for yourself and then do not complain. Help people anonymously. Live with absolute integrity. Keep your promises. Take the higher moral road. Do not lower yourself to the standards of others. Be your own man.

Yes, chivalry is respected - even by those who don't know what it is. Yes, you will be taken advantage of sometimes. Chivalry is not dead as long as there are real men out there who strive to be the best men thay can be.

FYI - From my point of view, a chivalrous man from any station in life, of any background, with even avaerage looks is more of a man that I would want than any rich or good looking or powerful man who did not posess those qualities.

I know this because I have found myself the most chivalrous of men and I would go anywhere and do anything for him. He's just head and shoulders above other men. I catch him regularly in completely unselfish acts for others that make my heart melt for him. He tries so hard to do things anonymously so as not to ruin the moment with thanks and praise for himself. I don't know how I could ever thank God enough for giving him to me, but he makes me want to be a better woman for him because he truly deserves the best there is.

The rewards of chivalry are not beholden in the world. People, lacking guts themselves to live according to high moral standards, come to me in private to express respect and admiration. There are those in my professional circle who laud my way of life, and I believe that eventually rewards will come as byproducts of living with integrity. However, living chivalrously taxes the soul. You will be belittled and challenged every day by everyone, not necessarily on purpose but more from the temptation to devolve into a lower behavioral plain.

Rommel Served the German people, not all of whom were Nazis. In fact, he was a collaborator in the assassination attempt on Hitler.

Live a chivalrous life. You will always feel good about what you do, and many times you will find out after the fact that you skirted dangers or uncomfortable events by choosing not to live as others.

I'm not sure you even know what chivalry means.
