We already know what makes a good girlfriend . . . but what makes a good boyfriend? It’s a question for the ages, really. I asked guy friends, random dudes on social platforms, and, ah, last but not least, my boyfriend, in all his great boyfriend glory — what, specifically, makes an amazing male partner. The answers ranged from classic to thoughtful to downright f*cking adorable. Check it out.
- A good boyfriend respects his girlfriend.
- He surprises her with flowers.
- He always asks her how her day was.
