So that boy you've been texting non-stop and snapping your cutest selfies to has disappeared without a trace. Although you're probably upset, feeling down, and feel as if everything is falling apart, I am here to tell you that you don't need him. Whoever he is, you do not need him.

What you actually need is pancakes. Not just any pancakes, but the cinnistack from IHOP. Trust me, this is what you need, not a boy to waste your time. Here is a list of reasons why these particular pancakes are better than any boy you'll ever encounter.

1. They're sweet

And by sweet, I mean REALLY sweet. The tasteful blend of cinnamon icing, vanilla icing, whipped cream, and maple syrup embracing four fluffy pancakes is so sweet that after just one bite you'll be happy in a diabetic coma.

2. They're warm

Who needs a boy to cuddle with for warmth when you can have all the warmth in the world right in front of you? Not you. You don't need to cuddle a silly boy who will try to make a move on you when you have a fat stack of warm pancakes staring at you lovingly.

3. They're fluffy

With the "dad bod" trending recently, you can't go wrong with wanting a fluffy thing in front of you. whether that be a guy whose body resembles a typical dad or a stack of pancakes. But trust me, the pancakes are so much better to hold than a boy. Trust me. This isn't to say that dad bods aren't a good thing, I mean I am all about a good dad bod when it comes to guys. But when guys break your heart, you need pancakes to hold.

4. They're pleasing

OK, this isn't to say all men aren't pleasing. However, I have yet to encounter a guy who is equally as pleasing as these pancakes. Sorry guys, but you don't give me diabetes or send me into a food coma. Pancakes are always there for you at any time of day, which makes them that more appealing.

5. There is so much more variety

If you haven't been to IHOP, there is much more to their perfect pancakes than the complete and utter deliciousness of cinnamon pancakes. You can have birthday cake pancakes, red velvet pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, or even just plain jane pancakes. The best part? You can try as many different kinds as you want and nobody's going to judge you.

6. They don't complain

Pancakes can't talk, therefore they won't complain when you want to take a million photos with your perfectly photogenic pancakes. Everyone loves a cute "candid" of a girl devouring her soul in pancakes with a cheesy caption like, "My favorite pancake topping is two additional pancakes." for the gram.

7.They pay you back

Not really, but some IHOPs do actually give you 50% off of your final bill if you order a drink on Thursday's. And that's better than any guy that's ever walked into my life.
