With overcoat folded over my left arm, I extend my other arm for a firm handshake whilst looking you square in the eye to say, "Thank you, Sir, for this fine article."

Meeting your eye contact and exactly matching the firmness of your handshake, I say, "You are very welcome--and thank you for the kind word!"

Would you consider an article like this for women? I would appreciate your perspective. I do hope chivalry in both genders the way you are proposing will resurrect. It is most definitely dead.

I certainly would, if I was competent enough to write it. People like @meghalillywhite and others would be much better for that.

I loved this section of your book, looking forward to Part 2 of this article!

I'm so glad you introduced me to the vigorous, aspirational aspect of Chivalry, otherwise I'd still be the chump "nice guy" that could only hold doors 😂💪

Indeed, thanks for an excellent article! The lack of attention to detail in dress and conduct is so pervasive now that even a little bit of it makes people take notice! Cheers to all for a virtuous 2025.

That's one of the big themes that emerges: the times cultivate a pervasive inattentiveness in all of us, a shrugging "whatever, man." Must be overcome!
