Is chivalry dead? Or has it just changed shape? One man weights in.
When I'm feeling jaded I can't help but agree with Dave Chappelle's assessment that chivalry is dead—and women killed it. Don't get me wrong, I honestly enjoy opening the door, picking up the check and planning dates (OK, planning dates can get a little old). But what really makes me nervous are all of the obscure rules, most of which seem a little antiquated to me. Por ejemplo:
- Standing up when you leave the table. This just increases the odds that I'll bump into something and spill your drink. Do you want that?
- Pulling out your chair. Maybe in … Read More

The Facebook legend introduces his new column.
Dear Sirs and Madams:
By the looks of it, there is a propaganda campaign against yours truly on the informative super-freeway. The conspiracy has maligned my character and made it almost impossible to get anyone up to Lookout Point. Plus the guys at work have been razzing me non-stop. Please watch the TV show below and tell me if anything I did was really worth the hubbub:

The polite way to go about having a one-night stand.
