The other day I was taking the train on my way to another city. I was quite tired commuting all the way to the train station, and the inevitable fact that I'd be one of the people standing, hanging on for dear life, with other people crowding around you, isn't something to look forward to.
So imagine my pleasure when a gentleman gave me his seat. That very much brightened the rest of my day.
Well, I'm not saying that all men should give up their seats to every woman in the train or wherever, but the fact that the man did that simple act of chivalry is just breathtakingly refreshing. These days, when you go on a date, you split the bill. Not everyone's willing to give up their seat in the bus, even when there's an old lady standing with a bag of groceries. Only a considerate few open doors ladies.
I dunno, call me old-fashioned or whatever. But I think it's a big, big bonus when a guy sincerely practices chivalry.
