During the younger years, we as women tend to think that being around a certain group of guys will make us have a better status and a girl. I'm here to tell you that there comes a point during the growing up years when you realize the type of people you want around especially when it comes to guy friends. Sure we all have those guy friends that are funny and try to be cute (let's be real they're friends for a reason).

But one thing that should always be important is how you see some of your guy friends treat other people. I've always been the type of person where if I know someone has bad intentions I do anything possible to make sure their bad energy doesn't come across to me. Believe me, though it is contagious. I used to see some of the sweetest girls in middle school and high school completely surround themselves with jackasses and assholes. It always questioned me as to why they would want to be around that. But it's plain and simple.

We as women often think that if we hang out with people who seem to be powerful in a sense or glorify themselves, we want to have the same type of energy right? Well not for everyone. For me, I could care less who I was around and whether or not they were the cutest and most popular guy in the entire world. Sweetie, I'm here to tell you NONE of that shit matters.

Eventually, most women realize that guys like that have no place in their lives other than to just be egotistic and need a pretty, athletic, or popular girl as a type of accessory. Count me out because I was never falling for that shit. Sure if I thought a guy was attractive of course I'm going to go on and on about him. But once I realized and saw how much of an a-hole he actually was, it's nothing but an instant turn off. So I ask this question to most of you, why surround yourselves with guys that do nothing but treat other people poorly and care about nothing but themselves? If you've already found an answer to this question I'm glad, but let's be real.

It's time to cut the BS out and start realizing that they're losers! Stop hanging out with these boys, yeah I said boys and start surrounding yourself with men that actually want to get somewhere in life by not being a douchebag. The saying 'nice guys finish last' doesn't always apply. There's a difference between being respected and being nice. For me being nice is always letting certain people say anything to you and just not reacting just off of that. It also means that you do not have a mean spirit in your bones.

Being respected is being nice, HOWEVER, it can also mean not taking other people's BS. So if that means showing a side that you don't often show, do what you must to make sure certain people don't take advantage of you. Hanging out with douchebags was and never will be cute. I can never respect a woman who clings onto guys like that.

No, I'm not here telling you who you should hang out with, I'm saying you deserve nothing but the absolute best and deserve to be around the best. So do yourself a favor and let these losers go for god sake. Your worth as a woman is more important than anything. Remember it always.
