I know that:
"He's the very man you want." is correct.
BUT..
Is:
"He's the exact man you want." correct too?
It makes sense to me but I have to be sure it's correct.
Google found a few examples in American Sports articles such as "...he’s the exact guy you want on your team".
and in some girl ask girl sites:
"He might end up being the exact man you think you want him to be. ..."
and "You're probably not going to get the exact man you want..."
So..what do you think?
