10 Reasons Why Having Guy Best Friends Can Be Better Than Having Girl Best Friends

Ronnie Schoen

I love my girl best friends. They're amazing and I wouldn't trade them for anything. However, I'm lucky enough to have two of my best friends be guys. Guy best friends have advantages that girl best friends just don't have, so here is 10 reasons why guy best friends can be better than having girl best friends.

1. They listen to your problems and can give objective advice

While girl best friends have been hearing about this problem from the beginning and have some emotional investment in the matter, guy best friends will be able to give you advice that is more objective and will know if you're being completely irrational.

2. They give really good hugs

If I haven't seen my male best friend in a long time I will run and jump on him with a big hug. If I tried to do that with my roommate she'd probably fall over.

3. They know you'll get your way

You want a rom-com and your girl best friend wants a drama? You won't end up watching everything. You want a rom-com and your guy best friend wants an action movie? You watch a rom-com.

4. They'll always walk you home

Walking back to your dorm at night when you're a small girl is kinda scary. Luckily my guy best friends will walk me back from their place, no matter how far away it is.

5. You'll always have a date to any formal*

Even if you don't have that special someone, you'll never have to worry about going alone.

*This also applies to Orthodox shabbats.

6. You'll always have someone to watch football with

My girl best friend barely knows what a touchdown is, and refuses to watch football even when her family are huge football fans. But when I'm with my guy besties they're always down to watch football or hockey with me.

7. There's nobody who looks better in these festive Christmas vests... And although they may not like this pic, they still let me post it

The best part is they're Jewish!

8. They can always make you laugh, even when your female friends can't

Even if it means pieing them in the face, they'll do anything to make you laugh.

9. They'll be your wingmen if you're their wingwoman

Hey ladies, they're single!

10. They've always got your back

You never have to worry about them being fake friends. You know that they're your true friends and they'll always be there for you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
