yeah I think that's important to emphasize. I think doing it to be corny/cheesy/romantic or whatever within your relationship is one thing. The expectation is another thing.
I honestly had no idea what dating was growing up. All I saw was men opening doors and putting jackets over puddles. I was always like: "why wouldn't you just walk around the puddle instead of ruining a jacket?" Also, when you grow up and find that a lot of those guys that do that chivalrous stuff are like wife-beaters and you're like ... wtf.
Yeah, I 100% agree about the chivalry and dating. And as soon as you say the woman is as strong as me (from a competence, intellect, and emotional standpoint) and is an equal partner in a relationship, a lot of the chivalry stuff doesn't make sense.
