5 Reasons Guy Friends Can Be Your Best Buds
Kaylee Haller

Obviously you can never replace or substitute good girl friends. But I could never imagine life without my best guy friends. They add a whole new dimension to my life that I am so grateful for. Here are some of the best reasons I keep my good guy friends around.

1. They bring out my silly side.

Some of my best laughs have been with my guy friends. Their goofiness and rowdiness is contagious and it makes things that much more fun.

2. They can minimize the dramain my life.

They are upfront with issues and will go with the flow most of the time. You can talk to them about anything and it tends to stay with them only.

3. They can show me that brotherly love in hard situations.

Sometimes guys just have a different aura about their supportive and protective side. Even as a friend, they can look out for you when things seem to be going wrong or you're emotionally spent. They are good at hard conversations but also with lightening the mood.

4. They are activity oriented.

I have noticed that at least in my guy friends, they always want to be doing something..I like that! Whether its going to play racquetball or just taking a trip to McDonalds...its always an adventure filled with many belly-aching laughs.

5. They often givemea hard time and tease me, but it is all out of love.

This only works if you have a good sense of humor. I personally love teasing the people I love, and guys do not hesitate to give that back. It is an ongoing badgering that is actually just hilarious. Some people don't really understand that form of humor or they don't know how to give it back. Maybe thats just me, but I love it. (I swear I am not a mean person haha)

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
