Unfortunately, when the subject is the near-extinct idea of chivalry, many women are quick to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear. Yet so many of us women spend our days lamenting broken relationships and marriages and wondering, Where have all the good guys gone? -
Chivalry Without End

Creatures of the Knight
Posted on October 31, 2008 | No CommentsA new generation of vampire heroes has stepped out of the moonlight and into the cultural spotlight — dominating best-seller lists, movies and TV with its dangerous mystique. The modern-day vampire gentleman is eerily alluring in all the old-fashioned, bloodsucking ways, but now he reins in his baser instincts in an impressive display of control. -
Chivalry Goes To The Dogs
Posted on September 24, 2008 | No CommentsWe’d have a lot more balanced people running the world if they based their leadership on calm-assertive energy. You see, animals don’t follow unstable pack leaders; only humans promote, follow and praise instability. -
