THE BESTMATE WIFE

If you were to ask men to describe the ideal mate, chances are they’d describe someone worthy of best dude friend status, but with lady parts. That’s the winning combination—the BMW— because she actually thinks like a man and plays like a man, and in the relationship, neither partner thinks of the other as a species from a different planet. The BMW and the All-In Wife are complete opposites of each other. She’s about as domesticated as her hubby; just as ambitious; and definitely as much of a party animal (cue Kate Moss). Best-Mate couples generally do not analyse and criticise each other—they like to live one day at a time, never bothering too much about the future. If she takes the same amount of time to get dressed as her husband, and can drink the same amount, she’s a BM wife.
