No. Maybe sometimes, for a special person... or an old lady, but not all the time.

Yeah, that's why I said men should KNOW HOW and added the caveat that not all women care about that stuff. In fact, I think most don't (these days).

I just believe that men should at least KNOW the "components" of chivalry. And that was my point. Even if he doesn't believe in it or doesn't want to do it (or his lady doesn't think it's necessary), he'll at least know what it's all about.

thats true.

That made me think of another one:

Men should know which women to give respect to. Despite what your mothers might say, every woman is not worthy of your respect.

Oh, and did anyone say "how do dress for and prepare for an interview"? That's a must.

It may not be a matter of life or death, but I think every man should know the basics of how to dress, like how to differentiate between winter clothes and summer clothes (aside from the obvious sweaters or shorts). It surprises me how many guys don't know that corduroys are for winter, linen for summer, etc. They should know that white socks are NEVER, EVER, EVER to be worn with dress shoes. They should know, as BBG said, that polished shoes yield points. They should know that the tag that comes on the sleeve of a new suit is supposed to be removed (country folks ignore that rule as though it doesn't even exist... lol). They should know that it only costs about $7 to put taps on your shoes.

Etc.

thats true.

What do you mean? Can you give an example or just expound a bit?

I would love to do a "what are the things every woman should know how to do" thread, but for some reason, all the stuff that pops in my head seems so controversial. *shrug*

Is every man you meet worthy of your time and respect? I'm not saying to be disrespectful to anyone, but men can not entertain and treat every woman like a queen when she's just a hoodrat. Many of us have not been taught that.

I disagree with that one from a personal standpoint. BTJM

Haven't read all of the comments, but every man should know how to give himself (or son) a decent trim with the clippers in a pinch.

Taps are little metal (or sometimes another material), half-moon shaped pieces that are nailed into the outer sole of your shoe. It keeps the shoe from wearing down in the outer corner, which gives men's shoes that unsightly side lean.

Most taps look like this:
