My point was that a guy doesn't have to push in a chair for me for me to care about him or like him. Or he doesn't have to open a door for me to respect him.
It just seems like to me some people use chivalry and act phony because they want to make a statement that's not true. Some guys use it for a few weeks, for a couple of months, and then when they are comfortable enough, the true colors show, and they act like jerks.
I tend to hold doors open for people, but that's never been gender exclusive. It's just polite.
As far as the chair thing goes, I don't recall ever doing that on a date. That almost seems insulting to me...like I'm casually insinuating that she's too stupid to figure out how to sit down. I'd might as well cut her food, wipe her mouth and burp her as well.
