Yes. And the answer is "be Brad Pitt". Unfortunately, not all of us have that option.

Chivalry isn't all about saving the damsel from the dragon. It's basically being polite when it's appropriate.

It's mostly about being polite as a man in regards to women.

Plenty of modern women are traditional.

Anyways, what do girls actually like in males? Kindness? Piety? Chivalry? Or something else entirely?


What do human beings like?

Givens: hygiene, especially breath wise, and clothing. I don't mean you have to wear to a designer outfit, just that you shouldn't dress sloppy. If you have facial hair, take care of it.

How can one tell if a girl is interested in them?


More than a casual glance denotes interest. Random complimenting denote interest, if she doesn't know you. Physical contact denotes mucho interest (touching your shoulder, deliberately bumping into you). Asking for help, unless it's your job or you know here well, typically denotes interest.

What does NOT inherently denote interest. Smiling: it can, but excessive looking is a far more dependable indicator--smiling can just mean friendly. Being polite does not mean she wants to fuck, it just mean she's polite. Getting upset: if she's getting angry at you in a playful way, that's flirtatious, but if she's actually upset, that isn't a good thing, it's a sign that you probably need to apologize; do not confuse these two.

What you should do if you like someone: pick a topic of conservation, and have at it. An article of her clothing or a tattoo or her hair is fine. You start a conversation on that, and it's clear that you like her, but she can also gently signal a no without embarrassing either of you. If she's receptive, talk some more, and eventually ask her out or get her number.

One Rule: Please, no vulgarity.


Yes.

Ah yes, but chivalry is based on protecting the defenseless. I don't consider myself to be defenseless, and so chivalry is irrelevant to me.

If you're not defenseless, good, the knights won't waste their time. I'll grant you, chivalry under that name and in that form is pretty much played out. The idea of courtliness, courtesy and honor appeals so much more than the bunga-bunga that seems to fill the world these days.
