Having a guy best friend is kind of like going to pick up food that you've ordered and finding out when you got home that you were given extra fries for free. It's exciting and it fills your heart with joy.
When you pick someone to be your best friend, it may take a while for you to get used to them. You have to find out if people know a lot of secrets about them, if they like the same things that you do, or if they will make your reputation look bad. If you pick a guy as a best friend, it seems like things get a bit easier. Here are 7 examples of what growing up with a guy best friend is like…
1. He won't tell your secrets.
A lot of times as girls, we like to gossip about everything no matter how big or small it may seem. Guys, on the other hand, could care less if Sally thinks Johnny is mad at her.
2. He will be completely honest with you.
More times than not, guys will tell you exactly what they're thinking, even if it may hurt your feelings. If you're about to go out to the bar and he thinks you look ridiculous, he will most definitely tell you that you need to go inside and change clothes.
3. You won't have to deal with monthly petty fights.
Let's face it, sometimes girls can get a little rough. We don't mean to, but one of us will say something to make the other one mad and we'll stop talking for a few days. This is way less common in guy friends. Unless he does something completely heinous, you guys will be smooth sailing all the time.
4. He will protect you.
No matter what, he will stick up for you in a fight and no one will be allowed to hurt you. You will always know that you have someone on your side
5. You can always get a guy’s perspective on a situation.
When we need relationship advice, it can be really good to get some intel on how the opposite sex might think in a situation.
6. You always have a date to any event you attend.
There is no reason to scramble to find a date to the prom, an athletic banquet or your cousin’s wedding.. your best friend will already have his suit and tie ready.
7.You will not stop laughing!
Guys always have jokes and they will keep you smiling. If you are ever upset, your first go to will be your best friend.
The moral of all this is that having a guy friend will change your life. He will be your rock when you are weak, your smile when you can’t find happiness, and he will love you in ways that you never thought you could be loved. Having a guy best friend is a blessing in so many different ways and once you get one, your life will never be the same.
