Chivalry.

"Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason. But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life."
~Olive Penderghast,Easy A.

It so saddening to see the lack of chivalry,no? I mean,it only exists today,if you're one of those school hotties and all the boys are drooling over you.
Don't get me wrong,there are still guys who know how to treat girls,but almost a rare,threatened species.
 All the eleventh graders were asked to assemble in the school auditorium today.And because,as usual,our teacher let us off late..there were no chairs left by the time we reached.So the woman who was there to give us a presentation asked if any of the guys would like to give up their chairs for some of us girls who stood oddly,at the back.They turned around,took a look,quickly judged "too ugly\geeky" and decided it was a bad idea.No big deal,because we were used to them being that way.Turns out,just moments earlier they had done it for a bunch of girls they considered more deserving.Wow.
But you know what? One classmate of mine,who had occupied a chair just before we got there got up.He offered his chair to us.And in the end,none of us sat on it.We all just stood there at the back of the hall,being courteous to accompany the bystanders.That one guy that stood up,it gives me a little hope.:)
Yes!My post has a Happy ending!Yayayay! :D

  1. Yeah I remember that! I think chivalry is a thing of the past! Some guys may be chivalrous at times but it may not occur to them then!
