You probably have a close-knit group of friends you've known since high school, or maybe even branched out and made new friends in college. If you're lucky those friends are more like a family. You grew up without older brothers but now have eight who would trample any guy who breaks your heart. I'm not sure if it's my personality, my outlook on life or just my attitude in general but I just click with guys. Yeah I have girl friends but there's just something so appeasing about being with the boys. It has its ups and downs but I wouldn't trade being "one of the boys" for anything.

You know that being around guys just complements your personality, it keeps you in a good mood and there is never a dull moment amongst their lack of cleaning skills or girl drama and they're always making food. If you're like me you know that no truer words have ever been spoken then the 25 things I'm about to list.

1. Their house is your house.

You don't even knock, you just walk right in. Scream through the house and the the scent of sweat and hockey bags linger in the air as you walk past the mess they created and forgot to clean up. You probably spend more time over there then you do at your own place so you're wondering why you haven't moved in with them yet.

2. You didn't like beer until they came along.

I'm often told beer is an acquired taste and I can agree to that, before they bought 30-racks and were knee deep in kegs ya girl would not drink beer except for the occasional sip of my dad's.

3. "SHUT UP THE GAME IS ON!"

The second the puck drops my head is in the game whether they let me watch it on TV or I stream it on my laptop. Do not mess with my sports time, DO NOT.

4. You're immediately given "the look" by any girl one of the guys has taken an interest in

The second you guys are introduced you're surrounded by bad vibes, hatred and distrust from every female they bring around. Girl bye, get a grip.

5. "Ew, he's like my brother!"

Whenever one of your friends mentions the attractiveness of your guy friends you wanna vomit at the thought of her wanting to sleep with him. Or when someone makes the comment that you and him should date you get a sour taste in your mouth.

6. Wing-(wo)man.

You are the ultimate wingman, you see girls they're gawking at. You can introduce yourself and put her under your wing. You then bring her around them and whatever happens, happens. You can bring all of your girls over no matter what time it is.

7. Sorority events.

You'll never run out of options for dates to formals or date parties and you can always hook a sister up with one of them. It's a win-win situation.

8. They can see right through the guy you're seeing.

They'll be able to call his shit way before you do. It's like the douchebag radar is off the charts and it completely skips over your head because you've caught the feels. Quick, throw them up.

9. You always have a drinking partner.

If it's Friday or Tuesday one of them is bound to be down to drink, throw back a couple beers or a half gal in seven minutes, whatever. I am the drinking partner with no limits, no chase? Who cares. Give me another bottle. Jack and Captain? I got this. 26 straight beer pong wins, (cue Blue Mountain State's theme song) give me a HELL give me a YEAH!

10. You have thick skin.

Insults are thrown around like it's your job, sarcasm is a huge part of your friendship and you love that they don't try to spare your feelings. I can call your bluff and I would appreciate it if I got called on mine.

11. You'll never miss out at the gym.

Probably one of my favorite things of having guy best friends is going to the gym with them. I don't get gawked at because apparently a girl in the gym is like some forbidden territory. Wrong. Plus they can spot me and I don't have to worry about the bar being dropped on my throat.

12. You come off as intimidating

I'm already intimidating as a person and I'll have to credit the RBF (resting bitch face) for that, but when you roll up with your squad and you're the only girl guys don't know what to think and girls probably assume I'm hoeing out. Very false, stop being so judgmental.

13. You don't hate females, you actually have a few super close girl friends.

Yeah I say "I hate girls" but that's because I don't have the patience to deal with bigotry and middle school drama. GET OVER IT, we're adults. I have a close group of girlfriends who I love dearly but time away is needed at times.

14. Pure, genuine friendship stripped of drama, jealousy and bias.

Often said guys have no drama which is true unless its amongst themselves and I'm automatically nominated to be their therapist. Sometimes a night away from my sorority sisters is much needed because the boys put my mind at ease.

15. Eventually they don't even see you as a girl.

You've gotten past those awkward days of romanticizing each other, because ew no. You soon learn every raunchy, very explicit detail of their lives and they won't tone down their language or behavior just because you're there. No filter. And in that moment you know you've made it. Congrats, you're officially one of the boys. Pro tip: they often forget you have boobs so when you go out prepare for compliment galore.

16. The only chaser they have in their fridge is beer.

They argue over chasers all night until everyone drinks everyones and by midnight the only thing left to chase is.... beer.

17. If you look good they'll tell you, if you're looking rough they'll be sure to tell you that too.

Something really calming about being told you actually look like a girl because to them you're still a bro which is cool and all until you're going out and wanna look good. And no it's not just about boobs. But if you're sick or fighting off the world's worst hangover they won't refrain from telling you how much of a shit show you look like.

18. You can't sleep with them.

This is not a drill, abort mission. You can't be one of the boys if you're found on top or underneath any of them. The answer is NO. Just no. DO NOT DO IT. Your sexual encounter will be the next topic of discussion and I can imagine it would be painfully awkward while you, and everyone else, hear the raunchy details of your night from his perspective.

19. You tend to be their mom at times.

Maybe it's just me. But I spend so much time with them I clean their house, do their laundry because they STILL don't know the difference between lights, whites and darks.... Whenever they're sick I'm the one taking care of them. I'm the voice of reason. I never discourage their fun, by all means throw a banger but come morning I'll be cleaning it.. AGAIN. And you've probably saved their lives at least once.

20. You've seen each other at your best and worst.

This goes without saying. They're there as your shoulder to cry on or dragging your ass off the bar tops at 3am. Embrace friends like these. To all girls everywhere: if you ever get involved with them, I'll be around and I'll know everything and if you screw up I will wreak havoc. You have been forewarned.

21. FTB.

For anyone who knows you, they can honestly say you're for the boys no matter what they can always count on you. The best part is, you don't have to say it because it's pretty obvious during your interactions.

22. You're proof that guys and girls can be just friends.

Not everything needs to be over-sexualized. Not every relationship needs to be intimate and you are proof that girls can be just friends with guys and it's one of the best relationships you will ever form.

23. You take advantage of their closets.

Cold? You've got six closets full of oversized hoodies. Over your jeans? Sweats or basketball shorts, take your pick.

24. They accept you for you.

I LOVE YOU GUYS. Love love LOVE you and appreciate you more than you know.

25. As great as it is to be one of the boys, sometimes it's not so great.

If you awkwardly catch the feels for one of their friends you're automatically looked at as "one of the boys" and your chance of getting his interested is slim to none. But don't worry you can still get any other guy you want. Maybe. Pro tip: do not date inside the friend circle, it gets real awkward when your sex life becomes the topic of the house.

So to these boys of mine, thanks for making me your go to girl.
