As I was walking into the swank Halo Lounge in Atlanta, I noticed several women walking curbside with their men. What happened to the days of old-school chivalry when a man was suppose to walk curbside with his lady? This act was done to protect the female from being splashed by cars and possibly kidnapped. It has been said that chivalry died 30 years ago. Some men have suggested that women’s lib has caused women to become offended when a man tries to act in a gallant way. This statement may be true to some degree, but a true woman of style wants the noble treatment.
Men, if a woman tells you that she does NOT want you to: hold open doors for her, carry her packages, walk curbside with her, hold her coat or cape, light her cigar if she is a social smoker, push in her chair at the table, stand until she sits down or when she leaves the table, then you need to run as fast as you can from her. Men, here is how you can really score points with a woman of style. When you are out to dinner and she tells you what she will have, order for her when the waiter approaches. Homerun!
