Prompt: The "Build Your Perfect Partner" kit has arrived and your character opens the box...
“I’ve been to five bridal showers in the past two months, and I haven’t had a date in all that time.” Josie was having Saturday morning coffee with her friends Margo and Anne.
“Tell us about it,” Margo said. She stared at the whipped cream heart on the top of her coffee. “I don’t think I’ll ever find a man for me.”
The three friends from uni were now approaching their 30s. Each of them had three failed relationships. Together they were a support team to hand out tissues, bring the wine and listen whenever their latest attempt at partner-finding ended.
The tearoom only had six tables. The waitress was passing their table.
“Forgive me for barging in, but I couldn’t help but hear. Have you heard of “Design a Man?” the waitress said.
Margo burned her mouth on her espresso. “Design a man?”
“Wait here.” The waitress disappeared into the kitchen but returned quickly with a flyer.

Margo put the url into her phone. Hey, it says you can use one package five times. We could pool our cash and have a Design A Man party.
Their Design a Man package was delivered to Josie’s the following week. The three friends decided on a Saturday night to test it out.
“What shall we wear?” Three women staying home on a Saturday
night had overtones of a PJ party.
Josie made sure that the apartment lights were low, but there were plenty of candles.
Margo read the directions. “There’s the prototype for a man in each of the cannisters.”
Each woman opened a cannister. Three naked flat male forms rushed out with a hiss and lay on the floor.
“Now we have to decorate them.” Margo hunted for the coloring set. Soon, the men forms had hair, one had a beard. Anne’s future man had bushy eyebrows. “I always liked bushy eyebrows.”
“Now comes the tricky part. It’s where we add the personality and qualities.” She picked up a small machine with wires.
The women each read the list, the very long list: it included things like kindness, athletic, a reader, good to his mother, knowledge equivalent to a degree with a subcategory of different fields. Altogether there were over 200 items, each woman chose the 50 most important to her, and also the limit allowed.
Josie was an IT specialist and she made sure that the male form attachments to the machine followed the decorations exactly.
One by one, the men came to life. It took them almost an hour to start moving and talking. They took the names David, Seth and Jason.
While the men were developing, the three women dressed in their best clothes, the kind that set off their figures.
They men waited while the women went out and bought them clothes so they could all go out to a nice restaurant and discuss what brought them there and what their futures would be.
