I met a young man the other day who comes from a family with several boys who, from my perspective, are true gentlemen. I never want to be a fly on the wall so much as when I see young men are character like this. I want to know what the other aspects of their life are like. I want to know how their parents have done this. The Wilson kids are so charismatic and congenial and much more. This young man took in another aspect of a cultured being in his refinement. His dad is Tongan and a sports announcer and his mother is Polynesian but I don't know much about her. I know that I lack the self-control and restraint of a true lady and I know there's more. There are some things that I don't necessarily want to change too.
I would like to know what your idea of what makes a person a lady or gentleman. What you think one would need to do to encourage that and also how much you value it.
I guess I think a bit of good ol' Mr. Darcy and his list but ...
Let me know.

What makes a lady or a gentleman...
In my opinion:
* They are people who, once you get to know them, they are the type of person that you are hungry to be around because of how you feel when you leave them feeling refreshed and invigorated.
* They take time for themselves but also look, then live outwardly by giving of themselves to others. I like the thought of wearing out your life in the service of others.
My favorite characteristic of a lady or gentleman would be this one:
* They exhibit aspects of grace under fire (since I don't think a lady or gentleman should be constrained to the absence of various emotions like pain and displeasure, not so much anger, I think that would definitely be something that a lady or gentleman would seek to control...all about the journey there.)
