Guys, These are The 14 Things You Miss Out When You Avoid Having A Girlfriend

In This Article:

Tinder seems to have killed what relationships are really about. Yeah, I said it. These days, it seems that all guys are interested in is hooking up. When you ask for a relationship, all you get is the same old runaround.

"I'm focusing on myself right now."

"I don't want to be tied down in college."

"I don't do relationships, let's just hook up."

While not wanting a relationship isn't always a bad thing, guys don't realize all of the great things they are missing out on by avoiding them like the plague.

1. You could have your own personal cheerleader.

I'm pretty sure that under the job description of being a great girlfriend, being a guy's biggest cheerleader is a requirement. She will constantly hype you up, give you support and make you feel like you can do just about anything. Whether you are applying for a new job or taking a difficult exam, she's there to cheer you on. Who wouldn't want that?

2. And your own personal chef.

I don't know about the rest of the girls out there, but cooking for my boyfriend is one of my favorite things. Every time he comes down to visit me at school, I make him something new. Let's be honest, a girl that can cook for you is a girl that is worthy of just about anything.

3. You always have a standing movie date.

There's nothing that sucks more than wanting to see a movie but not having anyone to go with. Get yourself a girlfriend and you'll never have to miss out on a movie again! Horror, comedy, action, we love it all.

4. You always have someone to text.

Bored? Don't fear, your girlfriend is here! In an awkward situation and need something to do? Text your girl! Lonely? She's only one blue message bubble away.

5. And send stupid but funny memes to.

I can't tell you how often my boyfriend and I send memes or funny Insta posts back and forth. Don't want to annoy your friends with another meme? Just send it to your girlfriend instead.

6. She's almost always down to play with your hair or give you a massage.

As long as you return the favor, of course!

7. You have someone to share your hobbies with.

Whether it be collecting something cool or going to the driving range, she will most likely be interested in sharing these things with you. Plus, you'll get to try some of her hobbies too!

8. She will be your personal stylist.

What girl doesn't love walking into a store and picking out clothes for her boyfriend? You could be the best dressed guy around!

9. You always have someone to complain to.

Annoyed by that person who cut you off on the way home from work? Had a shitty day? Call her up and vent. She's bound to make you feel better.

10. She can be your excuse for getting out of things you don't want to go to.

"Sorry Alex, I can't go to your Pokemon fan club meeting. I have to spend time with my girlfriend." What a relief.

11. She can be your new gym buddy.

Working out alone can suck. Need a spotter? Get yourself a girlfriend.

12. And your cuddle buddy.

Admit it. Cuddling is great and you know it.

13. You can have stupid inside jokes together.

Laughter is the best medicine, you know.

14. You now have an endless support system.

There is nothing that makes a girl happier than supporting her boyfriend and being by his side. She will always be there for you, even when no one else is. You couldn't ask for much more than that!

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.

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.

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.
