If you're like me, you can count on one hand how many boyfriends you've ever had in your entire life. That being said, you need every phalange on your hands to count the amount of guy friends you have. They are the best even when they are being the worst and here are the 15 things girls can relate to when they have guy friends.
1. They give the best guy advice.
Sometimes it may be a bit blunt, but you can always count on them to be honest with you about how a rejected call means "he's just not that into you".
2. They are the brother(s) you never had.
I grew up with one sister and adore keeping my guy friends as close to my heart as she is.
3. You can be your true self.
No makeup, no bra, no problem for your relationship. You love being able to chill, burp, and swear as much as you want because they're doing the same.
4. They will buy you beer and wings because they want them too.![]()
Preferably a nice IPA, but Busch and Coors will do just fine. Also, any type of junk food on game day is always an option for your guys.
5. They are always down to see the latest James Bond, DC Comics, or Marvel films.
These films involve hot guys, action, killer music, and did I mention hot guys. Throw in some Bond girls and you have a winning combination for a movie date for you both.
6. Sports and your guy friend go together like PB&J.
7. They can encourage you to talk to any new guy at the bar.
They are your Yoda and give you all the confidence to talk to that really hot stock broker at the end of the bar.
8. They introduce you to new drinks (Hello, whiskey!)
9. Heated arguments are the best.
Politics, sports, and even fashion can start off calm and turn into a level-5 storm in less than a minute.
10. Your grudges last about as long as a commercial break.
You fight just like brother and sister but you can never be mad at them for longer than a day.
11. Your parents can't seem to understand why you won't date them.
They're attractive, you're attractive, so why can't you guys try dating? Mom and Dad, us dating would be like my dating cousin Bobby..ew.
12. That reason being: You have already dated and it never worked out.
One of my best guy friends and I dated briefly when we are freshmen. Luckily, feelings were never established enough for us to hate each other after we ended things. We found that even though it didn't work out romantically, we still liked each other on a platonic level.
13. You want them to set you up with their cute friends.
What better way to be un-single than to have your bestie set you up. You trust their opinion and if they're already friends, you know he's a good guy.
14. And they want you to set them up with your cute friends.
Just because you guys won't date, doesn't mean you're friends can't! When it's successful, you're the one who gets to speak at their wedding and tell all the incriminating stories about them to the wedding party!
15. Finally: They're the best shoulder to cry on.
They are always there when you need them and though they may speak a few words, they are the words you need to hear.
All the guys out there who have girls that are friends, let me be the first one to thank you for all the hard work you do for us. You are amazing and we love our brothers from another more than all the beer and wings in the world combined.
