Sailor, I think that sixate meant that acting chivalrous often does NOT indicate respect, and is just a way of getting laid for a lot of guys.
My decision not to treat women preferentially has nothing to do with a lack of respect. I can understand trying to make someone else happy, so I guess I can't fault others for doing this. I just don't like the general idea of helping a specific group of people more than others when they don't need any special help.
Anyways, if a woman wouldn't date me because I don't compulsively act chivalrous (I might do it occasionally), then we wouldn't get along regardless. Everyone's happy
