Is chivalry dead, did women kill it

It just seems to me that women don’t even want a guy thats chivalrist anymore. I’ve had plenty of girlfriends, treated em like gold and it never really worked out for me. so my last girlfriend, she was beautiful, I decided to take the other approach. treat her like sht. I swear to god she couldn’t get enough of me. she was even at my appartment one night and I decided I was leaving to stay the night at this other girls house. and she still didn’t leave me. but thats just not me and I don’t like being like that. and I look around and alway’s see these lovely girls with the biggest douchbags I’ve ever seen. so I have to ask, do women like being treated like sht, cheated on, because thats what impression you’ve given us guys. I mean, I was brought up right, open the car door for you, do this do that. and then I see the best girls with the worst guys, I started to be a bad guy and guess what, sh*t started working out for me. I don’t know, I observe a lot, and that just seems to be the way it is. Signed: A good guy that gave up

Dear piker187, When things don’t work out for some men they blame it on the nice guy syndrome. Well sorry, it’s a poor excuse. This is what is typically noted with males who use this excuse: They fall too fast, they are trying to hard to be what they are not, they have a hard time taking constructive criticism especially from females and feel the need to be in control. Women love, I repeat love and at all times should be treated nicely and with respect. Young women do get scared when they think the males are moving too fast and it may appear they don’t appreciate the kindness…it usually is that they are frightened by it. As women get older they are able more to express their fears without worrying about the repercussions. So the nice guy syndrome is a behaviour pattern that is well documented and studied. By the way your response about treating them badly is also a typical responce…So my best advice is to slow down, take your relationships slow and by all means never, ever treat a women badly because you think this is what they want…you couldn’t be more wrong. Sue…good luck

Answer #2

woman like a challenge..keeps em interested. doesn’t mean you can’t spoil em. but don’t go overboard. They’ll probably think you’ll be expecting something in return… (L)

Answer #3

Well you should not have to pretend to be someone your not. Personally, I do not like any guy to treat me like hell. You should not have to give up your good side just because you have not found the right girl. My advice to you would be just to keep looking. Someone out there will appreciate you for who you are… =)

Answer #4

Well…No. not all women are like that. And not all guys understand that. Like sue90 said, The ‘Nice Guy Syndrome’ is a poor excuse for past relationships not working out. You must remeber that NOT ALL WOMEN ARE THE SAME! a lot of guys forget it! I Love a Guy that is a complete gentleman =] My fiance is one of those ‘Good Guys’ And I’ve never messed anything up, and we will be getting married summer or 2010 =] So just be yourself and a girl will come by <3 So just be patient and good luck =]
