Single girl support group

Back when I was still bright-eyed and romantic a cynical friend told me that Mr Perfect didn't exist, and while I kept an eye out for Mr Very Nearly Perfect I needed a proper support group in place. This was the set-up she outlined. (I asked one guy what a single man's support group should include and he said a woman who would clean his oven would be good. Then he got stumped. Challenge issued to the boys)

The single girl needs the following men in her life.

1) A best friend. Someone she can phone at any time, go out with, laugh and cry with, and in a perfect world, he'd be handy at DIY as well. It's important that there is no attraction, either side - a close relative, or a gay guy, is best, she said.

2) A really good friend - #1 has a life too, and won't always be available. Perfect world, #2 is good with cars, or computers, or anything that our girl can't do herself. Again, a relative or gay man.

3) A really good lover she could see regularly. She said unfortunately they tended to be married or generally unavailable on a permanent basis, but the good sex keeps a girl blooming.

4) A man who loved her but, for whatever reason, couldn't or wouldn't be The Man. Vital, though, for self-esteem.

5) A playboy, not around very often but trailing stardust and rockets when he was, who turned the world rainbow coloured, and then was gone again, leaving her to watch him out of sight with a happy smile before she turned back to her support group.

Right or wrong? In her case #4 suddenly zoomed to life and they've been married ever since.
