Of course, you have your go-to girls who you can spill all your drama to and have late night conversations about the cute boy from math class with but there is something a little extra special about having "boy-friends."

This group of guys are your go-to people whenever you need an effortless laugh, a shoulder to cry on or some unexpected advice. We females sometimes give boys a bad name, but once you find the ones who you can rely on as your best friends, you begin to see how lost we would be without them. They make the tough times easier, the heartaches hurt less and make the laughter grow stronger.

Thank you, boys, for always being there — I would be lost without you.

1. They're never on a diet and are always down for food.

The word "diet," isn't in their vocabulary. So if you're feeling those fries at 2:00 a.m., guarantee they are too.

2. They'll always be there to protect you.

It doesn't matter if he's Ryan Gosling or Channing Tatum, they'll never think he's good enough for you.

3. They always know the perfect time to make you laugh.

Considering they never take anything seriously anyway (unless when needed of course), they can effortlessly bring a permanent smile to your face no matter the situation.

4. Nothing is ever awkward.

They're boys, they never over think it. So go ahead, burp as loud as you want, they'll probably just try and compete with you anyways.

5. They're there when "he" isn't.

Of course, other guys are going to come and go from your life and possibly break your heart, but you always know you'll have your best guys by your side through it all.

6. They give the best advice without knowing it.

Sometimes you just need to see the male perspective to realize you've been over reacting the whole time.

7. You'll probably end up marrying one of them.

Let's be honest, they're still boys and will probably try to grab your heart in a more romantic way from time to time, and maybe you'll find yourself falling for one of them too. So go for it! What's better than ending up with your best friend?
