Anyone that knows me, knows that I have two incredible best friends that would do anything for me, including tell me that they know I've been skipping out on the gym. But that's just how we've been, and always will be. We tell each other straight up- no sugar coating. I think everyone needs a person like this, I was lucky enough to have two. Incase me saying you need someone to insult you on the daily doesn't convince you that you need a guy best friend, here's 15 other reasons.

1. There's always someone to grab food with, no matter the time.

2. Break up with your boyfriend/girlfriend? There's always someone a phone call away to get Cinnabon with to cry out the night or to take a hike to scream off the cliff.

3. The phrase "I need your approval on this new prospective girlfriend/boyfriend" has been, and always will be a thing.

4. They're not afraid to tell you like it is. Whether it's "your hips look huge in those leggings" or you that are flat out being a dramatic b*tch. There is no limit to our madness.

5. You tend to figure out what guys look for in a girl. Your guy friends are going to give you a totally different perspective on yourself and others.

6. You also will learn something your going to wish you didn't know. Example: I really didn't need to know your last girlfriend was.. not so clean..

7. Just like any other friendship, you gain another mother. This mother will see relationship problems from the guy and girl side thus knowing exactly what you need to do. Sometimes this mother will forget who you are every time she meets you, either way.

8. One of my favorites is the look you get when the waitress finds out you're on separate bills. Man and woman can be just friends.

9. You like that guy? Think again. Having a view into the guy world gives you prime insights on the guy you thought you liked. Don't let them fool you, their gossip train is just as bad as a girls.

10. The gossip is awesome. So much to talk about, so little time.

11. There's always someone to say you're going to run a 5k with, then forget about running for a few weeks.

12. Need something heavy moved? Call the ones that think they can lift anything.

13. In the off chance that someone is actually going to hit on the "ugly female specimen" that you are, there's always someone to "fake a relationship with" for 5 minutes until they go away. Everyone already thinks you're dating anyway.

14. The tough love will make you a better person. I know they don't actually think of me as a ugly female specimen. But it makes me feel great when I can send them a screenshot of a text screaming SOMEONE THINKS I'M PRETTY! They keep me on my toes, and keep me working out- occasionally. I would like to think I'm not 500 pounds because of them.

15. They can actually be sincere and loving. I've had just about as many compliments from them as I have had insults, and I can dish everything back out to them. In way, I guess you could say they taught me to stand up for myself. Or fight back. Whichever works best.

We might not see each other everyday like we used to, but when we do get together, nothing has changed. Boyfriends have come and gone, but they've been here through it all. I couldn't imagine life without these two tough loving jerks.
