The Perks Of Having A Guy Best Friend

The Perks Of Having A Guy Best Friend

Yeah, some people might think you're dating, but you just laugh at them. Having a guy bestie on your side is a whole lot different than having a gal-pal.

He will actually tell you when you look "fat."

Alright, you might not look fat, but the outfit or picture may not be as flattering as you thought. Let's be real, most of the time when we post a picture on Instagram, it's to impress our followers. If this weren't true, then we wouldn't be posting pictures of ourselves all the time. A guy BFF will straight up tell you whether the picture is ā€œInsta-worthy."

He can tell when the guy you're interested in has the right intentions.

It's always hard to tell the intentions of others, especially in college. Girls and guys will barely ever really get each other, and that's just unfortunately how it is. Girls don't understand what goes on in a dude's head, and we probably never will. A boy-biffle will always tell you what he thinks a guy's true intentions are, no matter how much it might hurt.

He's a great listener.

Guys usually don't enjoy gossiping to the extent we girls do (which, we all know, is a lot), so you can tell your BFF basically anything, and he'll just listen. It's hard to vent to a girl sometimes, because they just interrupt you with their own problem or gossip. My guy best friend always listens to me rant about the same stupid thing every day. He's the only guy I don't mind waking up at 3 a.m. to tell him something I think is so important for him to know that can't wait until the morning (even though 95 percent of the time it could have waited until the morning.)

I never feel judged by him, because he knows the real me.

People make stupid mistakes sometimes, but I know he never judges me by those mistakes. Girls can be very judgmental, so when I need advice on an issue where I know I've messed up, he's the best person to ask for help and advice.

A best friend is a best friend. Just having someone to call your best friend is so reassuring.

Yeah, everyone has their BFFs, but to have such a strong, mutual friendship is a great feeling. Knowing that I mean as much to him as he does to me (which is a lot), just helps us get closer. It allows us to be completely ourselves with each other—making life so fun and easy.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
