According to the Cambridge Dictionary, the historical meaning of chivalry is associated with men being very polite, honest, and kind particularly towards women.
But in the modern context, it is a bit different.
When asked to identify traits that best represent today's 'mannered man', the top five results were as follows:
- Patience and understanding
- Politeness and respect
- Thoughtfulness and consideration
- Good communication skills
- Humility and modesty
What traits do you feel are chivalrous? Are your views more traditional, modern or a mix of the two?
