Growing up, I always got along better with boys than I ever did with girls. I'm not sure why but it wasn't until my senior year of high school that I started to make more "girlfriends" than I did guy friends. Before having more girlfriends than I do guy friends, I met one of my very best friends still to this day. Having a guy BFF has its perks and downfalls but in the end, you always know they'll have your back and you're forever thankful for their friendship.

1. They'll listen to you complain about other girls and won't take sides because truthfully they could care less.

2. You can let your inner dude out around them and they won't think you're gross (well maybe a little gross).

3. They give the best advice when it comes to guys because they know how guys work and can help you pick the right ones.

4. They won't try to hook up with you because you're like a sister to them.

5. They are great listeners.

6. He's not afraid to put you in your place.

7. You learn so much about male species from them.

8. They act like your guy translators when you get a weird text from your crush.

9. They give you the most straightforward romantic advice than any of your girlfriends could give.

10. If you need a date to anything they're always there.

11. They don't care if you haven't showered or brushed your hair that day.

12. They're always down to take pictures with you... or of you.

13. He's your wingman when you need him to be or vice versa.

14. Your family has basically adopted him and made him their own.

15. You can ACTUALLY just Netflix and chill with them without things getting weird.

16. They have seen you at your best and worst and still love you at the end of the day.
