During Yvonne Linโ€™s first pregnancy, she figured she would hand out a nice card to any man who offered her a seat, but unfortunately no one earned the card. So during her second pregnancy, she decided to up the ante and went out and designed a statue to give out.

According to DNAinfo, it took eight months into her pregnancy for Lin to hand out her โ€œDecent Dudeโ€ award. On Feb. 24 on the A train, Lin ran into Mr. Decent Dude.

โ€œHe looked up at me and looked super startled and embarrassed, and he immediately stood up and said, โ€˜Please take this seat; I just noticed,โ€™โ€ Lin told DNAinfo.

The anonymous man is a father of two, and smiled as Lin took his photo. Now, thatโ€™s a decent dude. Can we clone him?
