The Modern Gentleman
The modern gentleman: he isn't perfect, he doesn't always stand with his head perfectly high, but he has a good head on his shoulders and usually too many goddamn thoughts on his mind. The only time he raises his hand is to defend the woman he loves, he keeps his smile wide, his friends few, and his words meaningful. He doesn't care about the status quo, nor does he want to. He can be the strongest man in the world or the weakest man alive, but it's in his mannerisms whether or not he will better those around him. he listens closely, appreciates everyone, enjoys the silly little aspects of life, and would give up everything if it meant protecting the woman who means it all, the family who loves him, or the friend who needs a brother. He is kind, gentle, powerful, loving, and sometimes stupid but realizes afterwards that he was wrong. He's not afraid to cry, whether it be in front of people or alone, and he treats everyone with the same respect.
