I say that when it comes to entering an unfamiliar place, the person who is better armed or more skilled at taking point for breach and clear should go first.
Something like that. The Wikipedia page has a small section under "Medieval Literature", if that's any indication. My point was really that chivalry is pretty much dead, and the reason for that is that there aren't a lot of medieval knights around anymore.
Generally places you've never been before, with the exceptions of restaurants, high-class places like the Opera or a museum, or well-known places with a good reputation.
This doesn't really apply anymore unless you're entering somewhere potentially dangerous. Entering an unfamiliar restaurant or something of that sort doesn't really apply.
Yeah, I don't really care how people act. But many women enjoy a chivalrous man, so I act that way. Not because I feel obligated, but because I want them to know I'm trying to treat them well.
