The Evolutionary Gentleman does not engage in competition with other men - it does not interest him.
He also does not fear it or withdraw from it.
But here's the deeper thing: he does not interpret other men challenging him as "competition". Nor does he fear challenge. He also never feels "disrespected".
Largely because an Evolutionary Gentleman understands those are interpretations and perspectives that are a lower level of consciousness.
Also: he does not need your respect; he has enough of his own. But he will often command your respect.
He may still draw boundaries - rapidly - but not for the reasons listed above, but because his perception is deep enough that he can sense there is no transformation possible or served by engaging there; he senses pathology and avoids it.
And he stays on purpose, with a reverent appreciation of the feminine ... and he stays on Purpose, but with a depth that is not easily communicated, even though it is clearly felt.
He also does not shrink away from "strong, powerful" women.
In fact, strong powerful women will give him the feedback that this is the first time they involuntarily felt surrender in their bodies - from knees to pussy to heart to mind to Spirit.
And when he hears this from her, he smiles, pulls her close, kisses her on the forehead, and even at that moment she feels exalted in her feminine surrender.
That is the essence of an Evolutionary Gentleman.
