We've all got our groups of girl friends, but boys offer a totally new adventure that is both fun and needed, and here's why:
Boys will tell you how it is straight up; there are no boundaries when it comes to the truth.
You want to truly know how you look in that dress? Ask your guy best friend. He'll tell you when you're being a bitch and when you're being too nice, and we need people like this in our lives to keep us level-headed.
It toughens you up.
Naturally, guys are aggressive, and when they are aggressive with you, it teaches you how to fight back. He'll also make jokes about stupid things you've done or the way you looked in your past, but you learn how to stand up for yourself.
There's no drama.
It's the oldest one in the books, girls love drama and guys could care less. Everyone needs that drama-free friend, and a guy is the best option.
It's like having a body guard with you 24/7.
I like to think that I could defend myself in a fight, but if the time came I'd probably have no chance. That's why we keep our guy friends close, because there is no one else that cares enough about you to risk his own safety for you.
What better way to get guy advice than from a guy himself.
From relationship advice to reasons why boys can be so stupid, your best friend has all the answers.
There are no judgements.
Whether you just accidentally burped super loud or you are singing like a dying cow, if he even notices, he won't care at all. Most of the time, he'll just laugh and join you.
He accepts your bitchy side.
When you're overwhelmed or annoyed, he'll be one of your few friends that will sit with you even though you are being a bitch.
When he comes over, he hangs out with your brother almost as much as he hangs out with you.
Your best friend is your brother's friend too, and once they start to talk about sports and girls, you might as well just leave. But you'll never have an issue if your brother needs to tag along with your friends because your guy best friend will be more than happy to have him join.
He's a positive role model for your little brother.
Since he is your best friend, chances are he's a great person. You can count on him to show your little brother how to act and give him advice when he needs it.
He'll always forgive you.
If he even cares about the fact that you just insulted him or were rude to him, then he's sure to forgive you in a few hours. Guys can let things go pretty easily.
He doesn't worry about anything.
Whether you're stressing out because you broke the family boat or the fact that the car is smoking, your best friend will know how to take care of the situation calmly. He'll call for help while you have a mental break down in the corner.
He is active.
When the group is together, he is the one who wants to go outside and play a game. He also spends half his life at the gym, which is really kind of annoying, but it's also motivation.
Secrets actually stay secret.
Most likely he probably doesn't even really care about what you've told him, but you can vent to him without worrying about if he is going to tell anyone else.
You always have a date to formal.
If you're too scared to ask that guy you've had a crush on for years to your sorority dance, you never have to worry because your best friend is always there. And you know you've got a good date who isn't awkward and won't ditch you.
He teaches you how a guy should treat you.
He will show you what it's like to have a guy care for you and all the random stuff that you talk about. He'll make fun of you when you're acting stupid and pick you up when you've fallen down. Once you've had a best friend who is a guy, you learn what it's like to be treated well and you'll never look for anything less.
