.....when all the seats on the bus are taken and a more 'mature' person gets on the bus - I believe that a man should be the one to get up to let that person sit down... Or even school kids/teenagers with young legs.
Don't get me wrong I am happy to give up my seat for someone older or someone disabled but for some reason I like to see a man offer up his seat first, as I said call me old fashioned....
Instead of Sexy - Bring Chivalry Back ;)

Oh, I agree Nixter and I do offer my seat to the elderly.
The problem is that blurry line between middle-aged and old. It could cause offence if you make an offer to someone who is too young...
I agree Craig, also asking the woman you think is pregnant if she would like your seat to find out she isn't actually pregnant - yikes...
That's my fear... of doing that one day!
Yeah, the pregnancy one worries me too!
I agree. I got on a bus once when I was 8 months pregnant, and the bus driver practically screamed "Somebody give this lady a seat!". I guess I made him nervous.
Nice site.
I agree, though I do always try to give elderly people a seat. What annoys me is when a seat becomes free and a man practically knocks me (and other girls) out of the way to sit down.
That's rude!
craigs does it have to be just and elderly? chivalry is after all not age related. right? just women and chldren related. I think.
I would have maybe turned you down if you offered if there was an older lady present. however I would have thanked you profoundly for the gester!
It takes two to Tango. I have known women to chastise a man for patronising them just because he opened the door for them.
I am sure that happens Dave - not by me though ;)
