Don't get me wrong, girl friends are the best. But there are just some situations that you could never get through without a guy friend at your side. Here are 9 of them:

When you’re having boy troubles...

When that picture perfect boy you’ve been talking to dumps you, your guy friend is the first person you should call. He is the perfect person to talk to because he understands the way guys think, but better than that, he can stand up for you. Nothing is better than being able to watch your guy friend put your ex in his place.

When you’re in a girl fight...

It doesn’t matter if it’s a fight about shoes or boys, your guy friend will talk you through it. Guy friends are the best at talking you through girl fights because they hate drama. Being able to openly vent about how rude another girl was to you and not have to worry about him going behind your back and telling the other girl is one of the best parts of having guy friends.

When you need confidence...

Your girl friends have heard it all before and continue to tell you the same thing. It doesn’t matter if he directly quoted what your girl friends said, hearing it from your guy friend will instantly make you feel better.

When you need a reality check...

His honest judgement is perfect when you’re stressed about a guy. Your guy friend won’t sugar coat his thoughts even if its not what you wanted to hear. We all could use a reality check when we’re panicking about a guy not texting back within a minute of your last text.

When you need a plus one...

Whether it’s a date to a wedding, formal, or dance you’ll be thankful you have your guy friend to turn to when you’re dateless. Not only will they put up with you for the event, but they will do whatever you want, even if it means color coordinating your outfits.

When you need to make some other guy jealous...

Your guy best friend is the best sidekick a girl can have. It doesn’t matter what the situation is, you can always count on your guy friend to help you out. The best part is, people are already under the impression you two are dating because of how close you are, so its really believable.

When you need to vent about life...

Anything and everything goes with him. You can go from screaming to crying and he will listen and help you every step of the way. There aren’t any boundaries when it comes to venting about your life.

Shoutout to all the guy friends out there keeping their best girl friends sane. Life would be a lot more stressful without you.
