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.

That's fair.

No true knight expects you to do that, that's not what chivalry is. If Samuraikoku, that chevalier sans peur et sans reproche, still existed, he would tell you.

Yeah, he and I had an argument over that, iirc, and he called me a "bad boy" or some stupid equivalent because I said I enjoyed casual sex. That was our first encounter though, and we got on better down the road.

Treat every woman different, because they like different things. Kinda like guys...

A few of my personal rules, when I am seeking members of the opposite sex:

Confidence!
She is not a conquest, she is a person!
Lies never work!
Shower!
Brush teeth!
Be nice, but not too nice

Liberals: Honestly I was wrong bout em.
I swear I'm not as terrible as you remember.

It's really not. Chivalry is mostly about how to treat other men. The women are kinda tacked on at the end in a be a bit nice if they're noble and try not to rape them too hard.

It's not that women are weak, it's just that women are so infinitely important to the man that they must be protected. It's like protecting a church. It is God's church and He is all powerful, yet it is still the responsibility of chivalrous men to protect His Glory and promote His Kingdom.
