Has Chivalry Died Or Just Evolved? Episode 448

In this lively and heartfelt episode of The Niall Boylan Show, Niall dives into a fiery question that struck a chord with listeners across the country: “Has chivalry died?”

The debate was sparked by a listener’s powerful email, where he shared a shocking first date experience. After chatting for weeks with a woman he met on Tinder, they finally went out for a nice dinner—only for the night to end with a glass of wine thrown in his face when he asked to split the €200 bill.

Was he in the wrong for suggesting it? Or has the meaning of chivalry changed in today’s dating world?

To make sense of it all, Niall is joined by Sharon Kenny from TheMatchmaker.ie, who gives her expert insight into modern dating dynamics, the expectations men and women bring to the table, and whether the old rules still apply in 2025.

Then, the phone lines light up as callers share their honest, passionate, and sometimes hilarious views:

“He dodged a bullet—anyone who reacts like that over a bill is not relationship material.”

“Chivalry isn’t dead, but it’s about respect—not footing every bill.”

“If you ask a woman out, you should expect to pay. That’s how I was raised.”

“Women want equality, and that means splitting the bill sometimes. Fair is fair.”

“Throwing a drink? That’s insane. He should count himself lucky she showed her true colours early.”

Whether you’re old school or strictly modern, this episode is packed with real talk about dating, money, and manners.
