A polite, well-dressed, well-spoken, educated and scholarly man (Sorry ladies, but being a male is required.). He speaks with passion, and will only resort to violence when it is the final option. He fights with honor, and accepts victory or defeat graciously. A man that some will aspire to, and some will despise. Has a high sense of honor, and will not take an insult to it lightly.
The sharp-dressed man walked down the avenue cheerfully, moving out of people's ways, and helping them if they tripped. He appeared to be a proper gentleman

A man of calm demeanor who demonstrates good will toward others and practices the common courtesies of the society in which he inhabits. One who keeps his word when given and defends the honor of his name while using violence as only the last resort.

Something that is very rare in today's world. A gentleman is a man (yes, folks, a MAN) who will normally open doors for a lady and generally be quite nice and polite.
