I bet Capricorns thrived in relationships way back in the 1600-1800's or so. back when people still courted each other into a relationship or marriage. Sure, it was dirty and diseased back then, but isn't it now? Those were probably the days though. Just a thought......

Your history book is outdated, chivalry is very much alive. Outnumbered and outgunned perhaps, but tenaciously persisting nonetheless 🙂 I like walking traffic side so the lady is further from harm.

Absolutely chivalry is very much alive especially in these boards! You can find plenty of them gathered together. I do that too with the ladies and with any of my loved ones. Also little stuff like walking up/down the stairs or taking escalators, when going down, be in front so if the lady falls, you can cushion the fall and when going up, be behind etc. These are the little gestures that shows chivalry

I remember talking to these girls who obviously forgot my head was on my shoulders but as soon as I said Chivalry they snapped out of there "ooo i wanna fuck daze" and proceeded to ask me did I make a word up.

I open doors and signal for men to enter ahead of me. Very bad habit, and I do it all the time. I can't even pin point where I picked that up or even why I do it. Its almost 2nd nature, so if I'm allowed to be included chivalry is very much alive and well lol.

:p

I knew an Aries/Tau cusper who wouldn't let me open doors or pull out chairs. She'd race me so she could do it herself.
Must've been the aqua moon/mars.

really!? i just got a mental picture of 2 people racing around a dinner table.

Odd woman that Aries/Tau. Have her breaking her neck to show you her invisi-peen "sisters are doing it for themselves" and me pining for 1875. *shruggedy shrug*

Being a cappy female means an honorary bulge in the trousers as well. I'm right there with you tho. It's nice to feel your femininity celebrated instead of exploited.

Agreed, and I am an Aries/Tau, soz. 🙂

Although to be honest while I do like men opening doors for me or letting me walk ahead, I draw the line on tying shoelaces. I felt like a 2 year old when one guy did that. I was "WTF?" I secretly after a few steps took it out and did it again.

that's way overboard. WOW.
