perfect gentleman
Impeccably mannered man
A perfect gentleman is a man whose conduct is impeccably courteous, honorable, and considerate—someone who treats others, especially women, with unfailing respect and propriety.
The phrase often carries a note of reassurance or slight irony: He was a perfect gentleman the whole evening may imply nothing untoward happened, or that such behavior was unexpected.
