IS CHIVALRY DEAD IN 2008?

Ok...so...I've once again returned to the dating scene...and man oh man has the game changed. Dating in your 40s is very different from dating in your 20s. Everyone ( myself included) has some emotional wounds or some sort of baggage that we're still trying to work through. We've all been somewhat tainted by life. It comes with experience... and age! BUT, ok...being hurt...is a part of life...so without the excuse of once (or twice) having a broken heart, I would like to hear why YOU think men and woman no longer romance each like they did back in the day...say like in your 20s...Young men used to go to the ends of the earth to try to win the hearts of women...not any more... woman use to demand they be treated with honor and respect.. not any more.I've found this to be true in men and woman of all ages...30s, 40s and 50s...and different income brackets...doesn't matter...and all different backgrounds....whether previously married or not. What's up with the romance people?
