This is my first post so bear with me. I found all the traits you described to be exactly what I am looking for personally. For lack of ability to find a man that enjoys exuding these "old school" traits and manners, I have come here. Part of the draw to this lifestyle is the immense amount of respect and cherishing that I crave. I think your average modern guy does not cherish a woman nearly enough. They don't have to go this extra mile and we do not normally command that intense attention. Because I am a strong independant woman, I personally crave extra caring and nurturing and "politeness" from men. Thank you for helping me realize I am indeed in the right place for me and that my ideal does exist.
