Thank You for A-Dude-Like-Dave
Most single women have at least one friend who found her soul mate.
Often this friend’s husband can be the standard by which single women compare their potential relationships.
This may not be fair but it happens.
Let’s call that standard “A-Dude-Like-Dave”
A Dude-like-Dave;
Is always employed
Cooks amazing dinners
Holds down the fort when the rest of the family goes crazy
Does the taxes and bookkeeping
Does laundry
Listens to hard-day-at-work stories (and actually asks questions)
Knows how to hold a baby
Runs errands when necessary
Turns a BBQ into a gourmet kitchen
Reads and demonstrates literacy
Changes the toilette paper roll
Can fix a broken shower head
Knows how to dress (owns a tuxedo and wears it well)
Can co-raise five kids without losing his mind completely
Dances with his wife in the living room
Treats his wife’s friends with respect and genuine affection
Researches vacation spots
Watches sports on TV but keeps the sound down low and will still answer the phone
Can tell a good joke (but it may take a while)
Remembers to feed the pets
Has just enough flaws to make his wife feel important
Obviously makes his wife happy because she tells her single friends a lot of good stuff about him and she actually enjoys hanging out with him.
A Dude-like-Dave makes his wife’s best friend thankful that her friend has found true love.
I’m thankful, too. L.
