Every woman, needs four types of men
By Christine Chacha
A friend once told me that every woman, whether married, single or divorced needs four types of men to successfully live.
She believes each one of us needs the father of your babies, the financier, the office husband and the guy who makes you feel like you are on top of the world.
I couldn’t agree with her more because women, unlike men, are not jack of all trade-although some try- so we do need help sometimes. It doesn’t mean we are weak, though it just means we need a man to sort some things in life.
With this in mind, here is a list of men that every woman needs in her life, those that she cannot do without, they make your life easier.
The platonic male friend: This is a guy who has been with you through the rough tides and the calm seas. He could be a childhood friend, a guy from school, a relative, a neighbour or a guy who knows you too well.
Every woman should have one. I have one-my pal Davie, and he has taught me everything I know about men. This is a guy who helps us understand the male fraternity, he tells you exactly what that guy meant when he sent you a text at 11pm and he will tell you what men to stay off without an ounce of ulterior motives.
Despite the fact that he is a man, probably good looking and you are a woman, you have never had any feeling towards him, the thought cannot even cross your mind. He has been loyal to you that nothing (his girlfriend being the exception) will ever end the relationship you guys share. In short, he’s your brother from another mother.
The ‘maintenance’ guy: This is a guy who pines after you. Although he hasn’t declared ‘nia,’ he sticks around hoping to hookup with you someday. You know he wants you, so you use it to control him. You keep his hopes alive by flirting with him and being nice to him.
He fixes everything in your life. He is your taxi guy who takes you everywhere, plumber, electrician and financier.
Even when you have men issues, you call him and he comes running hoping you will see HE is the guy.
The gay best friend: This is self-explanatory and almost a cliché, but note that, gay here is used to mean a guy who knows everything about a girl’s trouble, fashion and all chick flicks.
He is so handy that it is almost impossible to find a woman who doesn’t have one. He might not fix your fridge or broken lamp, but he sure will fix your life. He could be gay or not but one thing is clear though, he is like one of the girls. One guy told me that the perfect guy that all women look for can be found in gay friends that seem to be en vogue right now. Unlike the platonic guy friend, the gay best friend understands you on a level that other men do not; an emotional level. He will tell you what looks good on you, he will drink margarita with you as you watch Gossip Girls, Desperate Housewives or Sex and the City. This is the one guy that your man is not jealous with.
Friend with benefits (FWB): It could be a friend or that ex whose flame refuses to die. It doesn’t really matter. What’s important is what he does to you. He helps you get your groove back and confidence to face the dating world. He is a guy you call when you have had a long dry spell and you need some sexual healing.
Nothing more beyond the physical, it’s an arrangement that fits the two of you. No matter who is in your life or who is in his life, you and your FWB seem to always have a thing for each other that goes on and on.
