The Manic Pixie Dream Girl has become a stock character we’re able to spot from a mile away, but what about her male equivalent, the Manic Pixie Dream Boy? The MPDB is a paradox -- he’s youthful and innocent but also holds sage-like wisdom. While the MPDB can be more or less a simplified fantasy of a perfect boyfriend, at his best he’s a mentor and therapist to us all. Here’s our Take on the manic pixie dream boy - the man who’ll swoop in when you least expect it, but when you need him the most.
