I’m an old-fashioned man and like to treat a woman correctly. I have a good job and I recently re-located to the country. I open doors for my girlfriends and hate to see a woman carrying heavy bags. But I find women don’t accept my chivalry and prefer men who treat them badly.

Dear Harry,
I think you’re trying a little too hard! As a woman, it is wonderful to be treated with kindness and respect, but a little too much protection feels controlling and smothering to some ladies.
Try to relax a little with your next girlfriend. Take the time to find out who she is, her likes, dislikes, her dreams and disappointments rather than carrying her bags.
Where am I going wrong? My friends say women prefer the ‘tough’ guys who slap them around.

Be open and show your strength and weaknesses. People distrust a person who’s too good to be true. A good lady won't stay with a violent man, it's only "crazy" girls that love such nonsense.
