Does this exist?

So,
I have been pondering for some time what I want... I know exactly what it is too. I simply do not think that it exists. Actually i know that it does not.
To find the 'la donna eccellente' is impossible. She simply does not exist. Of the three great relationships i have had in my short life i would have to take all of the great qualities and attributes of those women, and combine them together in order to really find what i am looking for...
Intelligence, and depth. That is the main category. I have caught glimpses of this in some, but it is so hard to find in most. To have an opinion, and to stand firmly by it. To be able to logically defend it, or debate for it. To see a movie and discuss how the characters interact with one another, or to figure out the plot twists. To find someone that is all looks and no brains means that there is only an investment of some time, and effort and that it (the relationship) is not complete.
Empathy and understanding. There is a complete lack of empathy in most people i have come across in my life. To see someone suffer, and not help or to not have an idea of what they might be experiencing is poor. The true donna has to be able to sense when her man's mind is somewhere else. She has to know when he is in pain, depressed, or being his own worst critic. To ridicule, or help diminish his ego in these times of need is evil.
Honesty and the ability to communicate. These should be self explanatory. Honesty is an attribute that is fleeting in most. The desire to hide information and to block out the flow of free communication is a major detriment to all relationships. To be dishonest kills relationships. La donna eccellente would not be dishonest. She would also wish to communicate openly about things/items that bother her, or that she has issues with.
Athletic, funny, and social. These sort of go hand in hand with one another because it shows someone that enjoys life. This woman would be happy and fit. She would want to go places, and do things. She would have a sense of humor about herself and the situations that she was in. Not only would a super woman have to have these qualities, but she would also have to maintain them throughout the length of the relationship... a task harder to complete than most think.
Lastly, courstesy and respect. The simple act of introducing your man to your friends while you speak to them... the act of offering to get him a drink instead of waiting for him to get one for you. The act of asking the question: what are your thoughts about xyz? Instead of saying: what're you thinking about? Or even the worst for me to hear: "you think too much!"
Truly, to have all of these characteristics would be amazing, and would make for a superior female companion than i have ever seen before. It would make me want to be a better man, and make me try harder to be just that.

until then...
