What’s a “Golden Retriever Man”?

Everyone’s looking for something different when they enter the dating pool.

Some single women are looking for a guy who’s attractive, others want someone funny, someone with a certain career or someone who’s more family-focused.

Others just want a “Golden Retriever Man”.

What’s that?

The NY Post says it’s a man who (like the dog breed is “sweet, gentle, affectionate, and eager to please…not to mention easy to train”!

Urban Dictionary defines this type of guy as “a significant other that’s easygoing and makes it fairly simple to maintain a happy and fulfilling relationship.”

It’s not meant to be derogatory slant…in fact, quite the opposite…it’s a GOOD thing!

Why is it trending?

Taylor, of course!

The HuffPost says some people think it applies to her new BF Travis Kelce.

Other celebs that might fit the bill include Shawn Mendes and Tom Holland.
