7 Pros And Cons Of Having A Guy Best Friend

It is ridiculous that in this day and age, a girl can no longer be just friends with a guy. I mean there is a definable difference between boyfriend and boy friends.

It's honestly sad and funny when some people cannot tell the difference. I have one boyfriend who has been just my friend for 11 years. Throughout all that time we never dated we were and always have been extremely content with being just friends.

Of course, with every relationship/friendship there are their Pros and Cons:

1. Pro: Good fashion advice

What better than getting advice from a person who knows exactly what a guy wants? This way, you get it without all the sexual tension you would get from any other guy.

2. Con: They are always jealous of other guys.

When it comes to having other guy friends, you have to a make sure they all get along. Otherwise....well, you will have WWIII everyday.

3. Pro: You always have a fake boyfriend.

Boys will be boys, so if they see you are in trouble they will do everything to protect you. For instance, if you had a creepy guy or girl (whatever you fancy) who you want to get rid of, a guy friend can play the part to get them to leave you alone. Even if, say, you have an event. They will do that, too, only because you would do that for them as well.

4. Con: People always believe you're dating.

My friend and I last year started working together, and now all our co-workers always think we are together together. It can honestly become extremely annoying because if you hug for too long, if you hi-five and your hands are touching for too long...if anything happens for too long, you're "dating" and it's tiresome to keep repeating that you're not.

5. Con: You always run out of food.

Trust and believe I have never understood how boys eat for 1 like they're eating for 20. I mean I've hung out with plenty of guys just to hang out. If you order take out you better order extra everything.If you don't, you will have nothing for yourself.

6. Pro: You are never alone.

Boys will always say they're so macho and strong, but just like us they get bored very easily. So if they truly are your #bestie they will always be down for movie night and pizza.

7. Pro and Con: You will always have to play activities that you may or may not want to play.

I'm always down to try new things -- growing up with guys, I am bomb at football, but when they want to go into all the technicalities, I'm Just like who are you talking to??? It can't be me?!?!??!?!?!

All in all your Best Friend is your Person, whether they be a boy or a girl.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
