Profile of a Badass in the form of a Checklist

As I increase the number of conversations I have with people about the badass gentleman concept, I've identified some fundamental differences in perception of what this means. To provide more clarity, I'd like to offer my own Badass Profile as a working prototype that can be further evolved as we go along.

In fact, in the context of a badass gentleman, it's not even desirable. This viewpoint was clarified through recent conversations with a good friend, Luke Miller, around his own definition of badass. Once again, thugs might be badass, but they are not the badass I aspire to be.
