6 Perks of Having Guy Best Friends

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WVU chapter.

Don’t be fooled, we all love, love, love our girl friends! But there is just something about having those guys around that bring a different, unique sort of friendship. Having some guys around you that you consider your best friends can be life changing. Try it out. You’ll see it is the best decision you could make.  

 

1. You’ll always have a guy’s point of view along with his honesty  

What should I reply? What should I wear? Do you think I was being annoying? The guys will always give their two sense when you ask for advice. They won’t hold back either, the best guys never have a filter. You’ll always know what to wear/say/do in a matter of seconds.  

2. You can express that part of your humor you never knew you had 

Have you ever laughed so hard your stomach hurts? The guys know exactly what kind of humor to pull out of you. Jokes and puns you won’t be able to repeat without laughing for 5 minutes. The guys will laugh with you for hours and those are the memories you’ll never forget. 

3. You will experience life different 

Food, jokes, movies, books, sports, etc. will become so different. You’ll understand one day. I promise.  

4. You will never be let down 

The guys are around you too much to put themselves through the hell you give others when they let you down. The guys will always be by your side, they will always give you a shoulder to cry on. They will care a lot more than you would think.  

5. The guys are PERFECT wing men  

Picking THAT guy when going out can be quite an experience. The guys will have your back when making this decision. Your guys will make sure THAT guy is 100% perfect for you. After that, your wing men might even lore him in with a helpful pick up line.  

 

6. Late nights are not a gossip circle (as much as we love those from time to time) 

Video games. Extreme pranks. Eric Andre Show. The League and of course, food. So. Much. Food. 

Having guy best friends makes you feel at home. They will be your forever friends if you give them the chance. The guys are one of a kind so do not ever miss an opportunity to make amazing memories with them.
