Summary: Definition provided to shed light on White Knighting in case some people are confused on the subject.

WHITE KNIGHT

A male who attempts to gain the favor of or engage in sexual relations with females, who treats these females as Innocent, Delicate, Beautiful Goddesses who are in constant need of Protection, Defense, and Social Support. Where the needs and pleasing of females is top priority in the male's life.

The three types of social support:

-Emotional Support: empathy, concern, affection, love, trust, acceptance, intimacy, encouragement, caring, and validation.

-Tangible Support: financial assistance, material goods (gifting), or services.

-Informational Support: advice, guidance, suggestions, or useful information.

WHITE KNIGHTING

1. When a male, outside of sexual conquest, does anything for a female (who they have no obligation or relation to), that they would not do for a male, given the same situation and circumstances. -example: On the way home from work, Matt sees a woman on the side of the road struggling to change a flat tire on her car. He pulls over and assists the woman, then continues home. A month later, Matt sees a man on the side of the road struggling to change a flat tire on his car, Matt does not stop and continues home, ignoring the fact that the man could have used his assistance.

2. When a male who is on a sexual conquest, prioritizes the wants, needs, and desires of females to the point where his own life has been derailed and/or placed on hiatus. -example: Adam spends all of his time and money on Jessica but she only sees him as a friend. Adam has strong feelings of love for Jessica and despite being in financial jeopardy, he has sold his car and has taken out a $10,000 loan to treat her to a lavish vacation in Europe. Adam is 100% sure that Jessica will fall in love with him after this thoughtful gift.

Note: Almost every male is guilty of being like Adam to some degree, but not necessarily to that extreme. After all, most of us were taught from a young age that in order to win a girl's affection, you must be very nice and treat her like a princess.
