For Ladies – 4 Reasons You NEED a Guy Friend

When gals are having issues with their boyfriends, fiancés,
husbands, boy-toys or one night stands… who do they turn
to?
Women seek out advice from their best girl friends or their
best gay friends. Not a bad move, but perhaps not the best
move. Why? Because your girlfriends don’t know what they’re
talking about and your gay friends, in all likelihood, don’t have
the same experiences as their straight counterparts
Reasons You NEED A Guy Friend
1. We know what we’re talking about. I’m always amazed at
how much awful advice is served up to women by other
women. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat down with a
female friend who followed the council of one of their
girlfriends regarding a relationship with a guy, only to have the
whole thing blow up in her face. Let me say this in no uncertain
terms: SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT SHE’S TALKING ABOUT. In
much the same way guys need to admit that they don’t know
women the way they think they do, women should do the
same. Problems with your guy? Talk to another guy.
2. It’s an easy friendship. Your relationship with your guy
friend will be much less dramatic than one with with your lady
friends. I’m aware of the incredible bond between female best
friends and the sisterhood of women. But I’m ALSO aware of
the myriad pitfalls inherent in those relationships. Feelings get
hurt or someone gets offended by a perceived slight, which
then turns into a far bigger deal than it needed to be. With
guys, even when there’s a big disagreement, it usually flares
up and gets resolved quickly. Listen, there’s a reason there’s
no show on Bravo called “The Real House Husbands.” Think
about it.
3. You learn about men. It’s like watching an animal in its
natural habitat. Many times you can simply watch and learn
more about guys buy simply hanging out and being “one of the
guys.” Those of you who have already experienced this know
that we’re not always the most mature creatures, but you
also come to understand and appreciate the straightforward
simplicity of the way most guys communicate just by being a
part of the gang. Understanding how guys deal with each
other will absolutely help you with your other experiences
with men.
4. It’s a great way to meet guys. If you’re a single woman,
there’s no better way to meet men than through your guy
friends. Your guy friend is going to be one tough screener. He’ll
be happy to hook you up with one of his buddies if he believes
the dude is decent enough for you.
