Having a girl as your best friend is the most amazing thing to happen to any guy. They are crazy fun and caring at the same time, and you get the best first-hand dating advice. But the best flowers have thorns too, and having a girl best friend can be a real pain sometimes. Here are five situations people with girls as their best buddies will relate to:
- She gets you in trouble.
- You have to maintain hygiene standards when she is around.
- Everybody thinks you are dating.
- All your potential girlfriends are scrutinized.
- Your girlfriend will hate her.
No matter what, you always need to have their back. Help her sneak out of the house at night, get the booze in a club, take the shots when she picks up a fight. You can never stop doing this because she is your best friend, but sometimes it sucks to be the responsible one, doesn’t it?
What’s the big deal about wearing clothes without ironing them? She just cannot stand it. She will barge in your room unannounced, and you have to not be in your boxers or have the room smelling of socks. No more gaming marathons with stale pizza.
The whole world, including your parents think you are together and when you explain she’s just your friend, they think “it’s complicated." The biggest casualty is when girls at clubs assume you are taken!
When you somehow end up with a girl who is interested in you, this best friend is going to judge her carefully and decide for you. She is too nosy, she is ugly, she was rude to her or the worst, “she is out of your league dude!”
The most heart-wrenching part: after all the distractions, you score the jackpot, and you still cannot ride into the sunset. Your girlfriend will either not like her, or your best friend will continue her life-long scrutiny. The two ladies will never be friends, for sure.
