I still remembered the wise words my dear father said to me just before I left for college.

"Don't try to understand a woman, just go with the flow. Just like fighting against the current, trying to understand a woman's train of thought will only drag you to the bottom when you get tired of trying
and
The hardest thing to do in life is to reason with a woman. If you reason with a woman and attempt to convince her to acknowledge that you're reasonable, you're basically hopeless as a man."

I once had an experience with a girl who said I should be a gentleman to girls

In other words she meant chivalry?

What's chivalry?

Can it be eaten?

Why must men be gentlemanly towards pretty girls? Why do they have to compromise?

If this pretty girl will ultimately become this man's wife, then it's alright to take a step back.
But not every woman will become a man's wife right?
Then why should I put up with you?

Just because you're a woman?

That'd be called digging myself a hole, not chivalry!
