Nine qualities of a gentleman

I have been accused of being too picky. That my standards are too high. I've been asked what it is that I'm looking for in a man, or in a Dominant, or in a mate. I've also been told that I shouldn't expect to find one that will fulfill all three positions.

I have given it much thought. I believe that character is the same, no matter which arena I choose to look, whether it be as a man, as a Dominant, or as a mate. I was once asked to make a piece of art that stated the nine qualities of a gentleman as stated by Confucius. After pondering them, I believe that he was right. So, those are the qualities that I seek. And if I do not ever find them, then I am happy with my on company.

Those qualities are:

1. When observing, see clearly.

2. When listening, to hear distinctly.

3. In his expression, to be open to knowledge and understanding.

4. In his attitude, to be deferential.

5. In his speech, to be loyal.

6. In his duty, to be respectful.

7. When in doubt, to be questioning.

8. When angered, to deliberate on the consequences of anger.

9. When having gained an advantage, to consider whether it is appropriate and fair.

Does such a person actually exist? A true gentleman?
