BALTIMORE — You know the phrase 'chivalry is dead?' Well, that doesn't ring true for men in Baltimore.
According to a survey conducted by DatingNews, when it comes to Maryland, Baltimore is the place to find the most chivalrous men.
"In this dynamic city, where urban sophistication meets historical charm, gentlemen go out of their way to show kindness and respect. Whether it's offering assistance with heavy bags at the bustling Inner Harbor, sharing a friendly greeting in the historic neighborhoods of Fells Point or Federal Hill, or holding doors open with a warm smile, the men of Baltimore exemplify true chivalry. Perhaps it's the city's blend of diverse cultures and strong community ties that fosters such thoughtful behavior, or the proud heritage that inspires acts of courtesy. Whatever the reason, Baltimore's chivalrous men ensure that Charm City lives up to its name, making everyone feel welcomed and valued in this vibrant and historic metropolis."
The survey was completed by 3,000 women to find out where 'the most charming men reside.'
When asked to identify traits that represent a 'mannered man', they listed the following:
- Patience and understanding: 32%
- Politeness and respect: 31%
