This evening I had a male friend come over to visit. When he arrived, I was in my driveway shoveling snow with the assistance of my female neighbor. Not only did he not acknowledge me, but he proceeded to walk in my house. My neighbor and I were in my driveway for over almost two hours scraping and shoveling. At no point, did my male friend come back out the house and offer to help.
Which leads me to my question... Is chivalry really dead or is my friend just rude?
I have a few friends that tend to think the reason I am single is because I am very hard on males. However, I think that my expectations and standards are justified. How can you call yourself a Man but you can't help a lady in distress? Why is that men feel women are supposed to cook a meal for them even though they can't take out the trash?
I honestly don't mind cooking for people I care about, but men should not feel like this is how you get a man. To me, cooking should be a labor of love. And why should I pour out my love when you can't help me shovel my driveway? Now, really, this was a friend that I am complaining about but this friend should still be aware of how to treat a lady. So whose responsibility is it to teach our men how to be men? Mama or Daddy?
Either way, this single life is looking very appealing when I keep encountering trifling men....
