“What a Man My Man Is”: Lynn Anderson’s Last No.1 Song

Every woman out there wants to find the perfect man for her. When we say perfect, it differs from one person to another. Some people define perfect as someone who will accept them even with their darkest past, while for others perfect is being a kindhearted person. But, we all know that perfect doesn’t exist at all, it’s just a word we use to say or describe what we want that fits our desire. What about you, how do you define your perfect man?
