I think chivalry extends to more than opening doors for women, or giving up your seat on public transport. We can re-name it manners or etiquette, and those qualities are never old fashioned. It means being aware of people around you, and treating them with respect and kindness. Say "please', "thank you", "excuse me", and remember to smile. Don't let the reaction of others stop you from being polite and considerate; it's their problem if they can't accept a kindness, and they are the ones missing out on a chance for a brief, but meaningful, encounter with a fellow human being. I smile and say "good morning" to all I meet on my morning walks. Not everyone replies, but my smile and greeting still make me feel good!
