The National Gallery of Pretty Decent Boyfriends

What started as a sock has grown into a gallery to honor exceptionally acceptable guys.

Nominated by their partners and peers, these fine fellows have displayed such decency in the boyfriend department that they’ve been selected—from a sea of Instagram submissions—to be honored here for eternity. Or, at least until we take the page down.

Some are husbands, some are partners, some are colleagues, some are friends; but by displaying both the kindness of a saint and the realness of a real guy, they are all, truly, pretty OK dudes.
