I was reading an article in Redbook titled: Hot Fictional Husbands We Wish Were Real, the article went throughout TV history highlighting the made-up married men that make our hearts melt. As I was reading the list it made me day dream about building my own dream man. Think Starbucks order. . .grande, ½ fat latte with double shot espresso. .. made just the way you like it. If I could put together bits and pieces of each of the below listed men, I just may build myself the perfect guy . . . If only it were so easy, but it was a fun way to spend the afternoon!
Let’s get started with –
Mike Brady. . .you know. . . Here's the story of a man named Brady, he was living with three boys of his own … then his house gets taken over by three girls and their mom. Imagine for a second how that must have rocked the guys world but he never bats an eyelash. Ever notice on The Brady Bunch that Mike just easily became dad and Carol became mom to all the kids. Being a single parent myself and my kids not having any version of a dad, I want the guy to come in and not want to be step dad or part time dad. . .rather want to be their one and only dad! Ahh Mike. . .I could maybe do without the leisure suits and polyester though. . .
Then let’s throw in a cup of Jim Halpert from The Office – I believe I read somewhere that it's a fact that 99.99 percent of women will take a cute guy who can make them laugh over a gorgeous bore any day. So it's no wonder that boy-next-door Jim - with his quirky humor and dimply smile - just seems dreamier every season. Enough said. . .cute, funny and adorable guy that makes you laugh?
If you are a Lost junkie, this one may surprise. . Jin. I know, I know he starts out as a controlling jack-ass husband who I really loved to hate. My mom and I would spend days talking about what a jerk he was and how Sun deserved so much better. But then he transformed into a tender-hearted Romeo. A man who can admit his wrong ways and change them? Ladies. . .isn’t that what we all want???
Next I will add just a pinch of Derek Shepherd from Grey's Anatomy – Who wouldn’t love themselves a little McDreamy, He’s hot, his lopsided smile and he’s hot. . .but for me it is the way he takes on the crazy that is Meredith. I am lucky. . .I am only quirky which is so much easier to love. . .right! The one major negative with McDreamy. . .he works too much and I don’t want to be a second priority to my man’s job! That is why I will only throw in a pinch of McDreamy!
But a whole lot of George Banks of Father of the Bride 1 & 2 fame – I know I cannot be the only girl of any age who fell in love with George! When I was younger I wanted him as my dad. . .but now that I am older. . .would totally take him as my man! He's willing to do anything to make his wife happy, patient with the kooky wedding planner … hot sex on the kitchen floor. Give it up for the silver fox!
I can’t forget about Ray . . .Everybody Loves him! For me the best part of Ray is every night he walks through the door and calls Deborah a goofy pet name. . .Hey Chicken Little, I’m home. Or Hi doodle butt. ..what’s for dinner. How can you not love a guy who doesn’t fall into the same routine of calling you “babe” everyday? That takes time and talent to come up with a new name every time he sees you! Ray is a little too absorbed into his golf game. . .but the pet name thing. . .very cute!
And finally, for a little childhood fantasy. . . Ken . . you know. . .Barbie and Ken? Literally made for each other! How many times did your Ken and Barbie get married over the course of your childhood? But he makes up a smidge of my dream husband because, well, you can make him say whatever you want - "Yes, honey. You want an even bigger dream house? No problem!" I know. . I know. . .crazy, but there are those days when you just want your man to agree because you are right! Or because you think you are right! No discussion, no compromise, nor argument, just “yes, dear!” But when it comes to the big situations, I do want my man to take the lead and be the man.
I am sure I am missing some very important TV husbands I guess this is part one of building my custom made man. It is funny the things that you find important when building your man, things that you didn’t know you wanted. Maybe one of these days I just may meet this bizarre, custom blend of man. . . maybe at Starbucks?!? So tell me in the comments below. . .who would your custom blend be?
Ciao
