Most of my days are spent hanging out with my guy friends and they definitely make it interesting. Don't get me wrong, I love my friends that are girls I just have many more guy friends than I do girl friends. Here are a few things I have noticed about having guy friends.
1. You never feel judged when you are around them.
You can be as silly as you want. They may think you're weird and make fun of you but it is all in good fun. Depending on who I am hanging out with, I am not always comfortable being myself around other girls because of how judgmental some of them can be.
2. They can help you with your car if you have no idea what you're doing (like me).
Some girls know what they are doing when it comes to cars, I have no idea. If I need my oil changed, my tires/brakes checked or just have a question about my car I can have one of my guy friends take a look and they know what they are talking about, (I hope).
3. They understand "guy language".
If I'm trying to understand why a guy did a certain thing I can go to my guy friends and ask them to interpret the situation. It usually helps, and makes me feel better. They also know exactly what to say in certain situations. As most girls know, guys do not always know how to express their emotions (sometimes girls don't either). If another guy assess the message, they know what they are trying to get at.
4. You have support 24/7.
With a few of my guy friends they can just read a message I send them and they know something is wrong. They will do anything they can to cheer you up, no matter how much of a fool they make of themselves. They hate seeing you upset and will do anything to fix the problem. I've heard the words "Who do I need to beat up this time?" countless amount of times. On more than one occasion I have stayed up until 2am talking about what has been bothering me. I've also had times where either I pick up one of my guy friends late at night or they randomly come over and stay the night because they know I've had a bad day.
5. Their family is your family, vice versa.
Their family knows you almost as well as they do, and so does yours. It's not out of the ordinary to randomly come over without asking or to run errands with you and your family. If they have a child or children you're almost as attached to them as they are. Your family is always asking how they are doing and find it odd if they haven't seen them in a few days. Not to mention, these guys are your family, they are your brothers.
6. You can eat as much as you want.
It's perfectly acceptable to eat four slices of pizza. This is definitely a perk of having guy friends. Whenever you eat, you can eat as much as you want and they don't care. This is something I am self conscious about when I am hanging out with my friends that are girls. I am someone who can eat quite a bit of food. Now the guys might make remarks about me being able to eat a lot but they really could not care less.
7. It's plain and simple, guy friends are simple.
Just sitting around and watching a movie, or having a fire is entertaining for them. It doesn't take much to make them happy. They are okay if you just text them every once in a while instead of expecting you to text them every day. They usually brush most things off quickly and act like it never happened, not much seems to bother them. It makes life simpler.
8. You can be rough with them.
It's a fact that guys like to fight for fun. Sometimes it's fun to try and fight/wrestle with them. Especially if they grew up playing sports like football and wrestling, it makes it more intense. Even though they win every time it's still fun.
