8 Awesome Things About Having A Guy Best Friend

Written by Shivani K  • 

When you’re best friends with a guy whom you are not even remotely attracted to, you feel incredibly at ease. In fact, every girl out there knows her life becomes easier with a guy BFF around.

Well, he might be someone you’ve known since school or someone with whom you connected almost instantly. Or he could be someone with whom your conversation started off with a boring “Hi there” and has now transitioned to “Hey, let’s go check out the new restaurant down the lane.” Irrespective of how you started your friendship with him, you know you can count on each other. Be it a session of serious conversation in the wee hours of the day, or an absolute nonsensical conversation during the happy hours of chugging that beer, you’ve got each other’s back.

But, the society has this stereotype that two individuals belonging to the opposite sex can never be “just friends.” (Blame the Bollywood movies, maybe?) Well, they have no idea about how your life gets perked up when you have a dude by your side.

So, this post is for all those guy BFFs whose existence we seldom appreciate. Let’s take a look at how unbelievably happy our life could get with them around!

1. He’s Honest To A ‘T’

From your wardrobe choices to your boyfriend choices, they will only tell whatever is on their mind. They don’t sugarcoat! Completely honest views are what you get out of them. And you will never find them worried about being mean to you because they love you, the tough way.

2. With Him Around, It’s Only Minimal Drama

He will never let you don the crown of a drama queen, nor will he ever become a drama king. If there’s something that’s bothering you both, he will sit you down and talk it out. Gossiping, backbiting, and jealousy will never be the foundation of your friendship with him. And the best part is, by listening to his advice, you save yourself from all the masquerades.

3. You Can Be Yourself With Him

He is never going to be judgmental about you. You don’t have to worry about your etiquettes when you’re with him. You can unleash your demonic thoughts to him, and he’ll probably laugh his heart out by calling you cute. No matter how your mood is and what your behavior towards him is like, he’s there listening to you and is going to make sure you smile at the end of it.

4. He Is The Best Secret Keeper

You could call him your treasure trunk! If you have a boyfriend and you want to talk about how obnoxious he is, your guy best friend comes to your rescue. When it comes to sharing your dark secrets, you can blindly trust him. He might safeguard your secrets a notch higher than you yourself could.

5. He’s The Best “Guy” Advisor

Only a guy can help you out understanding other guys, right? He’ll help you find the right guy to date! With him around, decoding your crush’s messages is a piece of cake. And the next time when guys use a bro code, you will know exactly what it means. And if you are having major relationship problems, he will work with you in solving them. Or, if you are behaving like a possessive cat with your boyfriend and are on the verge of being a paranoid woman, he’s going to rescue you and probably stuff some reason into you.

6. He’s Your Pretend Boyfriend OR Your Auto-Default Date

If you find yourself being disturbed by a creepy guy, your guy BFF becomes the savior! He rescues you by playing your boyfriend, which makes creepy guys take a U-turn and leave you alone. Also, being single can never get boring with him around. When it comes to partying at places where couple entries are obligatory, he becomes your default date choice. Both of you end up with a free entry and oodles of fun together.

7. He’s The Best Entertainment Partner

He introduces you to the coolest mixes of the trending songs – he’s your personal DJ! And he will never mind singing tracks of Justin Beiber or boy bands like the One Direction. You both sing and dance at clubs like no one’s watching you. Neither of you is good at it, but that’s what makes it the best!

8. It’s Easier To Make Plans With Him

You don’t have to let him know in advance that you want to go out for a dinner with him. All the last-minute calls are accepted by him and he’ll be there to pick you up at your doorstep. You don’t have to wear makeup or look your best when you hang out with him either. It’s almost like enjoying all the benefits of having a boyfriend without any commitment issues.

So, it’s okay! Let the world judge. But you know how much you love your life with your guy BFF around. Let him know how amazing he is for loving you and being with you through everything. (Or just how lucky he is to have you!)
