There are so many perks of having guy friends when you're a woman, and most of mine I happened to meet early on in life. I can confidently say that they are the least troublesome or picky people, and it's always helpful to have them around. There are three that I have in particular, and I love being able to not only call them my friends but my brothers. Scott, Arlis & Travis, thanks for putting up with me when I whine, cry, treat you like you're one of my girlfriends, talk about guys with you even though you're so not interested in hearing me call males attractive, call you at three in the morning, and for toughening me up and treating me like one of the boys.

Reasons why they're awesome?

-They're protective of you

-They are far more laid back

-You probably won't ever fight about guys with them

-You know they have your back

-Built in wingmen.

-They put me right in my place if I'm ever in the wrong

-Having a male point of view for me to decipher others more easily

-Always having a pool or drinking buddy

-Help me move heavy objects... duh

-The "I told you so" moments are unparalleled

There's many more reasons why having them around is pretty great, but I can't list them all here. Scott, thanks for putting up with me since we were both born. Arlis and Travis, you might not have come into my life until high school but still beyond worth every moment.
