What Is A Gentleman?

Dear All, There’s always lots of questions and confusion about the traits of a modern gentleman. Some of my favorites truths are: A gentleman -

1) always carries cash (think Woody Harrelson)
2) always goes out of his way to show chivalry is alive. Good manners, good morals, holds himself to a higher standard (think Knights Templar)
3) charismatic blend of traditional values, morals, and manners with contemporary norms (JFK and Bono)
4) doesn’t gossip, always discreet (a confidant)
5) insatiable thirst for knowledge, and contribution to the greater good (Socrates)
6) kindness of heart, realist about other’s hearts (Tom Hanks, Matt McConaughey)
7) confidence without arrogance (Bill Gates. NOT Elon Musk)
8) knows when to hold them, when to fold them, when to walk away, and when to fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke (sorry, personal motto - FEITCTAJ). -SQ

What are your ideal traits for the high standards required to be deemed a gentle person?
