The headline is slightly misleading. We are capable of making and having girl friends too, but for the most part, being one of the guys is what we are known for. We have been accepted into the elite group where the guys no longer care what a girl thinks and we no longer care what they think. It took a lot to be able to get to this point, it did not just happen overnight.

Starting at a young age, not necessarily being a tomboy, but I always hung out with guys, I had more guy friends than girl friends, I talked to them at school more, well until about 4th grade. Then it became weird to talk to guys. That meant you liked them. Which was not true for me, guys were just my friends and it was easier to be me around them. For about 3 years, I tried the whole girl friends thing, but man is that hard. There's so much drama in trying to keep each other happy, there were so many mind games and talking behind each others backs. Granted it may have been the age, but still, no one wants to handle all of that.

Flash forward to now, college. Currently some of my best friends are guys. To me, makes the relationships a lot easier. Drama: minimal. Talking behind each others backs: nonexistent. Loyalty: 100 percent. Living a life full of drama is not meant for everyone and I am in no way saying being friends with girls is a dramatic affair. It just seems to me that whenever I try, I have a life full of dramatic events I did not sign up for.

These guys though, are some of the best people I have ever met. They are always there for me, they want to make sure I am having a good time, make sure I am not sad, let me vent when I am frustrated, put up with my girly fashion questions and ym advice about girls, but most of all they are some of the most genuine friends I have ever had. They pick me up when I need it, introduce me to new things, make me laugh and take me on adventures.

I may hear conversations, or see things that I could have lived my whole life without, but I would never trade these guys for the world. They have accepted me as one of the guys and that means that I have a solid foundation of people who will do anything for me and I am forever grateful.

I do sometimes envy those people who can have a bunch of girlfriends, like how do you manage that? I can hardly manage one or two girl friends. I give props to those people, but I am perfectly happy being the girliest "guy" out there.

Thank you to these guys. You guys are a special kind of perfect and I would not trade our friendship for anything. <3
