The best thing you could probably ever do for yourself is have a guy best friend. There are countless reasons on why you need to incorporate one into your life ASAP, but here are just a few reasons of the many, inspired by my own experience and portrayed by Parks & Recreation.
1. You can eat like a normal human being around him without feeling judged.
Forget the
2. He is always there to go on random adventures with you when all your girl friends are being lame.
"I'm going to my boyfriend's house
3. You can get all philosophical on each other sometimes without it being super weird...
4. But then he can also make you laugh so hard your stomach cramps and you forget how to breathe.
Girls tend to play the comfort card when you're upset, but honestly, sometimes you just need a good laugh to forget everything for a while.
5. You can just go places together and judge the crap out of people and not feel any shame whatsoever because it's a regular occurrence.
A simple trip to Walmart can lead to intense battles of who can spot the freakiest person in the store.
6. He understands and accepts your problems without attempting to give you a life lesson after you're done complaining about your life.
Sometimes you don't want loads and loads of advice, sometimes you just need someone to listen, and contrary to popular belief, boys are actually really good listeners, when they want to be.
7. Need a date to something and you're still completely unprepared? No problem. He can be your go-to date.
At this point, you don't even attempt to find a real date because you don't want to run the risk of having a horrible time, and bringing your bestie is a sure fire way of knowing you will have a great time.
8. They don't gossip with everyone else about you, and will always hold your secrets dear to them.
You can tell him the most embarrassing stories with confidence that he's not going to joke about you to his friends later.
9. He's always going to be there to protect you and back you up when someone had a glass of Haterade for breakfast.
It's like having your own personal
10. He can set the standard of how a guy should treat you: with dignity and respect.
He will also tell you straight up if the guy you're talking to is a major loser/creep and that you should probably stop talking to him immediately.
So here's to all the guy best friends in the world, forever benefitting their girl best friend counterparts in countless ways for all eternity. Bless your souls.
Also, if you don't have one yet, you're only cheating yourself.
