5 Reasons Why Every Guy needs A                         Girl Best Friend !!!!

For some strange reason, many people believe it is impossible for a guy to be best friends with a girl without some hidden agenda. Well, I am here to break that stereotype and bring to light the reasons why every guy needs a girl best friend.

1. New perspective

Yes, you may have a general understanding that men and women see things differently, but to actually hear about their experiences and how it affects them is life-changing. Like when a woman holds open the door for me and I immediately say sorry because I was supposed to hold it open for her. To her, it was just a natural thing to do, but I felt it was my obligation to a man to hold it open for her. Does it really matter who holds the door open for who? Ask your GBF (Girl Best Friend).

2. Being Emotional

It sounds ridiculous, but if there is one solid thing that I've learned from my GBFs, it's that allowing yourself to acknowledge what you're going through and experiencing those emotions that make you feel exposed is necessary. Maybe it's just me, but I believe that men are encouraged to shut off emotions that make them seem vulnerable for the sake of masculinity. News flash: rarely does that work out for us in the long run. I have also discovered that wine helps get you through it.

4. Food is ALWAYS Involved

I kid you not, that most of the times I get together with my GBF, there is some type of food. Seriously, guys, girls like to eat -- a lot, and so do I, so why not be friends with them? You are missing out on some serious binge eating because when they want to eat, NOTHING gets in their way. Just get behind them and hold on. Fastest food service ever.

5. The Little Things

This part is hard to explain, and more so one of those experiential components of the friendship. When you find that GBF that you can always call, or if you don't talk to for a while and she sends you a nice (nice is a synonym for Molly Weasley style reprimand right?) little reminder to do so, keep her around. It means she is not afraid to knock you down a couple of pegs and that is the sign of a true friend.
