10 Reasons Why Having Guy Best Friends Can Be Better Than Having Girl Best Friends
Ronnie Schoen

I love my girl best friends. They're amazing and I wouldn't trade them for anything. However, I'm lucky enough to have two of my best friends be guys. Guy best friends have advantages that girl best friends just don't have, so here is 10 reasons why guy best friends can be better than having girl best friends.

1. They listen to your problems and can give objective advice

While girl best friends have been hearing about this problem from the beginning and have some emotional investment in the matter, guy best friends will be able to give you advice that is more objective and will know if you're being completely irrational.

2. They give really good hugs

If I haven't seen my male best friend in a long time I will run and jump on him with a big hug. If I tried to do that with my roommate she'd probably fall over.

3. They know you'll get your way

You want a rom-com and your girl best friend wants a drama? You won't end up watching everything. You want a rom-com and your guy best friend wants an action movie? You watch a rom-com.

4. They'll always walk you home

Walking back to your dorm at night when you're a small girl is kinda scary. Luckily my guy best friends will walk me back from their place, no matter how far away it is.

5. You'll always have a date to any formal*

Even if you don't have that special someone, you'll never have to worry about going alone.

*This also applies to Orthodox shabbats.

6. You'll always have someone to watch football with

My girl best friend barely knows what a touchdown is, and refuses to watch football even when her family are huge football fans. But when I'm with my guy besties they're always down to watch football or hockey with me.

7. There's nobody who looks better in these festive Christmas vests... And although they may not like this pic, they still let me post it


The best part is they're Jewish!

8. They can always make you laugh, even when your female friends can't


Even if it means pieing them in the face, they'll do anything to make you laugh.

9. They'll be your wingmen if you're their wingwoman

Hey ladies, they're single!

10. They've always got your back


You never have to worry about them being fake friends. You know that they're your true friends and they'll always be there for you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
