Comical Answer: He's gentle AND a man. ^^ Let's look at a few of Google's examples (searching 'gentleman'):
Hmm...based off these (and the other bazillion pages of photos) a gentleman is affluent(rich), well dressed/groomed/good-looking, 0_0 predominantly lighter skinned...(Google, what's up with that?!), and based from media/history - Well educated, articulate, traveled, trained in a number of things, and very likely, behind doors, not be as he seems in the public eye.
^_~ There's a lot more to it, but don't ask questions...unless you want to deal with...The Mob.
Serious Answer: TBA

A gentleman is one who puts the needs of others before his desires. He shows respect to all, even those who do not deserve it. He is caring, thoughtful, and giving. He may not always have the best manners, but people overlook them around him, because he overlooks their mishaps. He protects those who needs protecting, and is willing to lay his life down for others if it comes to that. He is willing to humble himself and admit fault if he is wrong, but will not compromise on what is right.

The short answer is that I have no control over who I like whatsoever, either you got it going on or you don't...I can't base who I like on any logical reason or behavior they have. I can usually tell right away if I like somebody. It's not really like they have a special purpose off to themselves or I'm just thrill seeking. I like them and have to see where it goes. If they happen to be the bratty type that thinks they're the queen of sheeba I just know how to take them is all. lol. My playful jerk/joking around side is just a better approach than my sweet/caring side in that kind of situation. There's no way to know if a meaningful relationship is possible till you really get to know someone and spend a lot of time with them in my opinion so it really doesn't cross my mind at all in the initial part of talking to somebody.

Honestly there isn't much logic involved. If men weren't stupid when it came to women, we would all still be in the garden of eden. I don't think when I'm infatuated....that's the problem. lol. People can say they base choices like that on logical reasons but I don't think anybody does.

well personally I can be physically attracted to someone but totally steer clear if, for example, they are a serial cheat. I once went on a date with a guy who seemed great! he was nice and funny and I liked him. we went on our date (cimena) and he started making racist comments. as I already had mt ticket I decided to see the film but already I knew I wouldn't see him again. after the film this was totally confirmed when he seemed to think I would be going home with him (I had given him no encouragement on that front I assure you). I went home, told my flatmates all about it and deleted his nimber

so you accept brat like behaviour. for me I think it would be a deal breaker. I may be missing something though (testosterone perhaps )

A gentleman... hmmm....I could list a long scary-looking list of specific traits making up "the perfect gentleman ideal" but I think in some cases big lists appear too nitpicky and sometimes a bit scary, lol!
So I'll vague mine down a bit.
A true gentleman is a nice guy who leaves you feeling better when you are done hanging out with him than before you started hanging out.
Someone who makes you feel positive about yourself, and at the same time makes it easy for those who have gotten to know him to see the positive side of him.
Is caring.
Someone who when you think about him a day later, you think fond memories first, not bad ones.
Someone who makes you feel comfortable and doesn't give you an "off" feeling.
Okay and now for my nitpicky sounding one....chews with his mouth closed.
