Jeremy's Chivalry - Part Une (basics)



Alright, these blogs posts are going to be long so get ready. There is just so much to talk about with this subject. Let's first break down this word "Chivalry." Chivalry is a term related to the medieval institution of knighthood, which has a military provenance of individual training and service to others. It is usually associated with ideals of knightly virtues, honor and courtly love. The work is derived from the French word “chevalerie” itself derived from “chevalier”, which means knight, derived from “cheval”, horse (indicating one who rides a horse). Ok, was that too much for everyone out there? Let me break that down to what I got from it which is probably 99% accurate. Fucking knights on horses practiced this shit, so you know it is good. Have you seen the movie A Knight's Tale with Heath Ledger (RIP). There was phenomenal courtship and chivalry all up in that movie. The fact of the matter is you don't have to be a fucking knight or own a horse in order to do this (horse would be legit though). I might be a little boastful here but most of this seems like common sense to me, but then again, not many people have common fucking sense anymore. Don't get me wrong, 80% of the population has probably dated more people than I have. My relationships have been long term in nature. Not my fault, I am just a fucking blast to be around for at least 2 years that is. After two years I lose my knighthood apparently and get off my horse. Hey after two years for straddling a horse you would get off too. Boom. But there are just certain things you do when out with a lady and certain things you don't do. Everyone hears the horror stories, but it is a little deeper than that. Remember we are talking about women here. Whether we want to admit to it or not, we are trying everyday to get with them. Just some of us fuck it up more than others. This picture pretty much sums up how we should act based on the definition of Chivalry.
