Knight time??

Hmmm...

Okay. So this article entitled 'Knight Time' was obviously written by a guy whose name I forgot; it was Nick something. The article is about the 'Art Of Manliness'; which is chivalry. Chivalry is a system of behaviour which was first practised by knights during the medieval time. So Nick over here wrote this article based on his own experienced; about how to be a modern knight in today's world. Below is pretty much the summary of the article:-

Generally the first thing for a man to do is to be gracious and to respect a woman. Simple things like opening the door for a lady and letting them enter first, giving your umbrella/coat to a lady when it's raining if not offering her a ride back, helping a lady with the heavy package/luggage and the list goes on. Opening a door for a lady doesn't mean she's feeble. A solicitously hand proffered doesn't mean she's incapable. Those are several things that a man could do in order to be chivalrous to ANY kind of lady which doesn't bring any meaning of sexual interest what so ever because chivalry is also about knowing what's suitable.

However on the other hand, to really treat your SPECIAL lady; the guy will have to go a distance a little bit more.For example, holding her hands when crossing the streets, call her when you promised to do so, be generous with your compliments, buy her flowers on normal random days, or text her just to make her day. And since now it's the modern world, woman may want to split the cost of meals, showing that she is able to care for herself and that she's not looking for anything from you. She may want you to be equals and wants to make decisions together. As Nick has learnt it the hard way, woman of today would like her man to make decisions
with her and not for her.

According to Nick, the reason why in today's modern world there are fewer and fewer 'knights' out there is mainly because woman of today now demands for equality. However this doesn't mean that chivalry has to come to a total stop. Nick happily said that his act of being chivalrous to any lady has so far been accepted by the lady in a gracious manner. The only time he had it was when he wasn't chivalrous or sensitive enough! And to Nick; good manners reflect a person inner value, chivalry is no exception.

"What is this article doing in Vogue?? This article shouldn't be in Vogue! It should be on the pages of other magazines like FHM(For Him Magazine)."

*Sigh*

What a waste right?? This pages could have been filled with Burberry or Dolce & Gabbana.
