So there are a few chivalric things that I do.  Okay, just one.  I hold the door open for women.  Well, that and I am respectful and not a jerk.  Does that count, too?  Nope?  Okay, let’s just stick with the door thing.

So any who, this morning at the gym (shameless self promotion of my January exercise), I held the door open for a woman who was exiting.  She was closely followed by three other women.  I continued to hold the door open.  Why?  Well, see above.  I am a tad chivalric, a lot respectful, and not a jerk.  Nuff said?  Perhaps.

As the last woman exited the building, she turned to me and said, “Well, aren’t you a sweetheart?”

Thank you, Ma’am.  Plus, as a chivalric man, I must add one simple observation about the times we live in.  More sweethearts and less jerks, that’s what we seem to be in need of nowadays.   I bid you adieu.
