Seriously though, why can't we?
One of the most frequently asked questions by all of us when we meet someone with serious potential to be a great friend but they want more.
From a woman's perspective, it's so hard to find guys that we mix well with and view as more than a friend. It seems that guy friends are always in abundance and the boyfriends-to-be's are not.
Now don't get me wrong, we are an extremely picky breed but for good reason. No one wants to be with someone whose only with them because "He's really nice, I can look past everything else". Or, "We get along really great, I can talk myself into being physically attracted to him". Who would honestly be happy knowing they've been settled for??
So here we are, remaining picky and getting a bad rap for friend-zoning guys who don't put the butterflies in our stomachs.
What these guys don't know is all the things they're missing out on by remaining platonic with us:
1- I Can Get You Laid
We travel in packs. Do you know how many friends we could hook you up with?
2- You Look Like Shit & I Still Love You
You're sick in bed and bored out of your mind? Guess who could come over with a care package and watch a Fast and Furious marathon with you? Also, you probably look as sick as you feel and we won't care because you've held our hair back a time or two. No judgement here.
3- Fluent in Girl Code
You have a crush on the girl from your summer internship and can't tell if she's into you or not? We can help, we specialize in reading between the lines and decoding the "I'm bored, what're you up to?" or "I may not be able to come but I'll try" girl jargon.
4- Know What Goes Great With Your Tux? My Dress
You have your cousins wedding to go to and no date?.... Hi! Your family loves me and we both have no problem dancing like idiots knowing theres cameras everywhere, lets have fun! no expectations - no disappointments. Also, when you look back on those pictures in 10 years you don't have to complain about why you took your now ex-girlfriend to the wedding. You can point and laugh at the silly pictures with me because yes, we're still friends. Best friends don't break up.
5- Meet Your Free Therapist Who Keeps The Beer Flowing
Need someone to talk to and don't want the guys to rag on you and don't want your mom's advice? Hello again! I'm a great listener because I genuinely care about you and will give the best advice I can.
6- Thank You and You're Welcome
Lastly, we will benefit from this friendship just as much as you because there is no guy in this world whose opinion we trust more than our fathers, brothers, and our best guy friends. We shoot it straight and protect each other.
Lets be friends :)
PS- That handsome man featured in the picture above with me is the greatest guy friend a girl could ask for. He's my favorite knucklehead who picks me up when life knocks me down
