I think from now on every time a woman enters a room or leaves the table I’m totally going to stand up.
Because I’m awesome like that.
The boy I lost my virginity to does that, along with numerous other fantastically chivalrous things.
I support this idea.
Chivalry is a good thing. This is a rule of etiquette. Generally this is done in formal settings and an incredibly gentlemanly thing to do. Also good for the first time meetings of wives, fiancees, and girlfriends. A good book for a lot of these rules it The Man’s Book: The Essential Guide for the Modern Man.
