Why is chivalry dead?

We all know the main reason for the death of chivalry is that most guys are assholes. But for those who aren't why is it that girls think that we're gay or are just uninterested if we don't try to fuck them right away. I don't chase tail, it gets me nowhere except in trouble. Also, I'm far more interested in someone with a personality anyway. Anyone else have and thoughts on the matter?

No more dragons

Because at some point in time women no longer offered kisses for you saving their life. I mean all that effort...

I still consider myself a knight of sorts, and still follow some sort of chivalry. It, as of late, hasn't hurt me with girls at all. I think the main point is that, to take this knight analogy a bit far perhapse, you need to be like Lancelot. Good old Lancelot d'Lac always acted according to CHivalry, but he wasn't afraid to cut th head off of a stray giant either! Show some guts and confidence, girls like that; if you can treat them with respect while still standing up for yourself and being 'tough' you'll do just fine.

Took me a while to realize this myself

You're clearly pretty useless at designing hypotheses.

"Guys are assholes" is an explanation (whether good or bad) for why chivalry does not exist. Saying that it died means that it used to exist and now it no longer does. If guys are assholes, how did chivalry exist when it did?

So what's changed? Did guys NOT use to be assholes, and they've become assholes lately, thereby killing chivalry?

Or, you know, like, what?

What's changed?

Chivalry isn't dead, it's just not in so much in fashion.

And if you expect a reward for it...?

You're doing it for the wrong reason. It's not about what you get, it's about what you are.

Is this the new "nice guys finish last" thread?

I thought I had a dragon in the house. Turns out, my roommate had burritos for dinner.

Because most men can't ride horses or use swords anymore.

This.

Yes. That's why I distrust "chivalrous" guys, but go for decent and kindhearted ones.

That is, guys who are respectful to everyone, not just the girls they want to nail.

yea but i can ride a motorcycle while wielding a shotgun. Same difference, right?

what about a hatchback and an assault rifle? i guess that's more of a 'mad max', post-apocalyptic raider though.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Speak for yourself. My horse just hates fatties. Equine chivalry is dead.

If worst comes to worst we can just run people down with our smartcars to save the damsel in distress.

you cant honk at a girl with a horse either. So both of you are ahead of the curve

If a smartcar couldn't sufficiently take down atomicant, what good do you really think they'll do on the general, less pansy-assed populace?

I firmly believe in non-lethal tactics. One good smack with a smart car will hinder an attacker long enough for me to save the damsel in distress and drive off into the sunset.

Smart Cars are the new "suits of armor" and youtube agrees with me:

i find your description of me insulting. accurate, but insulting.

ass.

a "tritium" safety cell? hurray, you can explode somewhat more slowly but far more efficiently! this sounds very safe to me!

I killed chivalry in a joust.

Bastard.

But in all seriousness, I can hold my own damn door open. But it's just nice when a dude (or a chick, depending on who I'm doinking at the precise moment) does it for me.
