Having a guy BFF is probably one of the greatest and worst gifts in the world. But, they make life way better and much more interesting.

1. You can be yourself with him.

Burping contests just sort of happen sometimes.

2. People always assume you're dating.

Nope. Nope. A million times nope. Yes, he's an amazing guy but ew. I know too much about him to ever see him like that. Eventually, you turn into a joke between you two.

3. You always have someone to be your date at an event, if you end up not finding a different one.

Homecoming? Check. Prom? Check. Random family member's wedding? Boy, you know I'll be there. But, it's understood that there is nothing going on between us.

4. Relationship advice.

I give the best advice to guy friends – however, be careful bringing your guy friend/best girl friend around your SO until they understand there' no competition. See #2.

5. He always has your back.

Creepy guy at a party? He's there. Girls being mean? Chinese food is already ordered. Bad break up? He'll be over with ice cream after punching your ex in the face. Despite you endlessly telling him, you're okay.

6. You probably are a bit more aggressive now.

Let's be real – if you haven't attempted punching him, are you even friends?

7. He's honest.

He'll be straight up about everything. He'll tell you if you're overreacting or being a bit psychotic. He'll also tell you if you look bad. But you do the same to him so it's okay.

8. Somehow they always have a new drinking game to teach you.

How? I have no idea. But it always ends up being fun.

9. They don't always want to go out on weekends like some of my girlfriends do.

Sometimes, you need a lowkey night over going to a giant party or club.

10. He'll put up with you even when you don't even want to put up with you.

Let's be real, he's the real MVP for that.

11. It's not weird when you guys get emotional and serious.

Sometimes, it's easier opening up to you than my other friends. So, I apologize for how many times I've had my mental breakdowns with you around.

12. You can both shamelessly admit to how attractive people are.

"Dude, that guy is so hot." "Girl, I know." - Typical conversation.

13. Life wouldn't be complete without him.

My life is a million times better with their presence. And for that, I'm forever grateful.
