Every so often the ideal man may come along and have women everywhere swooning. Types such as Prince Charming, James Dean and even Harry Styles have captured women’s attention, and for the longest of time we have seen these men as the ideal guy we daydream about, want to replicate and hopefully be lucky enough to have in our lives someday. The ideal men of our dreams have come and gone, but today one man has proven himself to be ranked like none other. This man has stood the test of time and dominated not only the rap game, but the game of love. That man is Aubrey Graham – or as he is commonly referred to on our Spotify playlists – Drake! Yes, Drake may or may not already the apple of Rihanna’s eyes, but us lay people can still imagine and hope to find a guy who is just like the rapper.
Here is why we all need a man who is just like Drake.
1. He started from the bottom.
Undoubtedly Drake knows from whence he came and is not afraid to tell the world. Drake understands the struggle of coming from nothing and eventually making it. The Canadian rapper may have grown up under the hands of a single mother, but he did not let that stop him from being the grammy award winning and business owner that he is today.
2. He is a man of many talents.
And speaking of humble beginnings, we can not forget the first time we were introduced to Drake. He rolled right into our hearts – literally – on the hit show Degrassi. Playing the adorable character Jimmy. Drake proved that he is no one trick pony and can be quite the thespian when needed. Nothing is more intriguing that a talented man.
3. He will buy you just about anything.
Drake knows how to treat a lady, especially when it comes to showering her with materialistic items. Remember the time he took Nicki Minaj into a convenient store and told her she could get ANYTHING? Well according to Drake, you deserve the world to be your oyster, even if that consists of cheetos and orange juice. What a mighty good man that is!
4. He appreciates a good girl.
Point blank, we need someone like Drake who knows a keeper when he sees one. After all, Drake said it best with, “You’re a good girl and you know it.”
5. He has the moves.
Truly, you can take Drake just about anywhere and be rest assured that he will be the life of the party. While different, his signature dance moves are too cool to deny. If Cinderella waltzed with Prince Charming all night at the ball – why not shimmy like Drake, or robot with your own man at a house party?
6. He is patient.
According to Drake, he has been in love with Rihanna since he was 22. Therefore, Quick calculations indicate that it has been 7 years since the rapper has been in love with Ms. Fenty. And even though both entertainers have had their fair share of relationships and break ups, Drake patiently waited – and possibly still waits – for the true love of his life. Now that’s the type of romance everyone should look for!
7. He can be emotional.
After dropping songs like “Marvin’s Room” and “Shot For Me,” Drake unanimously was given the title of most emotional rapper in the industry. True, Drake’s song are the perfect background music to brood over your failed relationships and meditate on your exes. But Drake’s tendency to release a sappy song simply means that he is in touch with his emotions. He feels and cares about the people in his life – making him the type of man who will gladly take care of you. Drake proves, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a little on the soft side.
8. He reminds us to live life to the fullest.
Drake lives by some of the best mantras. One in particular – YOLO! Drake reminds us that you only live once, so you might as well take chances and give your one and only try at life your best shot. And the man of dreams should tell us nothing less.
9. He is supportive.
There are times when we just need our own personal cheerleader to help us through the hard times. Just like Drake cheers on his favorite sports teams, a man with a great supporting personality is definitely something to be on the lookout for.
10. He is extra.
As indicated, Drake appreciates a good girl when he sees one. And he sure makes sure that girl knows she is appreciated. For Drake, that may even mean going out his way to do extravagant and over the top things for his lucky lady. Just days ago, Drake bought an entire billboard to congratulate Rihanna on her recent MTV accolades. How would you feel if a guy bought you a billboard congratulating you when you make all As? A little obnoxious – yes – but so adorable!
11. He is comedic.
Everyone loves a funny guy, right? Drake definitely proves that he can tell a joke or two when he appears on Saturday Night LIve. Having a guy with a comedic touch is not only charming, but you can rest assure knowing you will be entertained.
12. He goes hard.
Don’t let Drake’s emotional side fool you. The rapper knows when exactly to go hard and be hype. It is this type of lit and fiery spirit that is – well simply attractive. Definitely a must when looking for the perfect guy.
So the next time you are swiping through Tinder, the only way to find the perfect guy is to simply think of Drake!
