Traditional acts of chivalry frowned upon as 'suspicious'

[Evil Eye]

82% of women said they would prefer to pay for their dinner on a first date



52% said they would happily pay for the entire bill on a first date



89% of women said they would not take up the offer from a man to carrying their bag



78% would not accept a coat from a man on a cold day



Only 34% of women said they expect men to open doors for them



8% said they would take up the offer of a seat if a man offered. In London, this figure was only 2 per cent.



The survey also came up with some surprising answers:



41% of women agreed men should be able to wear dresses



98% said they would like to be bought flowers, but only 32% had actually received flowers in the past twelve months

Chivalry is dead, but we can wear dresses />



Now, if you hadn't guessed yet, here comes the question. For the ladies, which points do you agree with? (And which don't you agree with?)

And for the men, have you had any hostile or distrusting reactions when being chivalrous?

DrLeftover has a nice story about holding a door.

Agree



52% said they would happily pay for the entire bill on a first date

No way. That's why it's called a date.



89% of women said they would not take up the offer from a man to carrying their bag

Depends on how heavy my bag was and how far I had to go.



78% would not accept a coat from a man on a cold day

Do I get to keep the coat? Seriously, I would not put on a coat from a man I did not know. It's the lice factor!



Only 34% of women said they expect men to open doors for them

I don't EXPECT it but it's nice when it happens. I hold open doors all the time for both men and women.



8% said they would take up the offer of a seat if a man offered. In London, this figure was only 2 per cent.

I would!

Only if they shave their legs too!



98% said they would like to be bought flowers, but only 32% had actually received flowers in the past twelve months

Hate flowers. They die. I'd rather have a nice plant.

Well heck, if the woman wants to pay for her meal. Then that's less for me since I might be somewhat broke as it is o.0. And out of habit and being a nice guy, I hold the door open. Unless its an automatic. And sorry, no dress wearing for me.

Aww
