GirlsGuideTo | 20 Reasons a Best Friend is Better Than a Boyfriend

Feeling a little blue about a bad breakup or the guy who hasn’t called after your third date? Well, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and grab you best girl friend – you’re probably better off with her than that scumbag anyway. How can I be so sure? I have twenty good reasons why your best friend is better than a boyfriend.

1. A best friend doesn’t care if you haven’t shaved your legs or painted your nails today. Chances are, she hasn’t either.

2. A best friend doesn’t make you watch boxing on TV. Oh, hell no. Real Housewives is on? You know she’s in.

3. A best friend is equally as literate in The Bachelor and DWTS as you are. Emily did what? You know you can talk for hours with your girl and she’ll never get bored.

4. A best friend doesn’t booty call you. Yup, I went there. She knows you like your sleep!

5. A best friend isn’t concerned whether you’re Julia Child or not. You burned the pizza rolls again? Whatever, she has the Chinese place around the corner on speed dial.

6. You won’t have to diet to meet your best friend’s mom. Chances are she’s an older version of your BFF, so she’s gonna love you too.

7. A best friend doesn’t talk about marriage just because s/he thinks it’s what you want to hear. No, she just wants to show you the amazing dress and flowers she pinned to her fake wedding board today! Or you know, gossip about your friends…

8. A best friend doesn’t spook at the word “baby.” No explanation needed. Did you see that cutie at brunch? Of course you did, you snapped a pic.

9. A best friend understands your issues about bangs, periods, bitchy bosses, push-up bras, straightening irons, and driving in heels, because she has the same issues. Yup. Nothing brings people together like shared suffering.

10. A best friend can listen to a complaint because that’s how we communicate. I’m pretty sure my BFF and I have had conversations where all we do is complain. And they were probably some of the best we’ve ever had!

11. When all the men have left, your best friend will still be there. You know she’s not going anywhere.

12. If a best friend puts his/her career ahead of you for even one night, you can tell the person to snap out of it, and s/he’ll agree with you. Put her in her place and get back to happy hour like you were supposed to!

13. None of your best friend’s Facebook friends will make you jealous. Enough said.

14. A best friend always puts the toilet seat down. Hell, she never puts it up to begin with. That’s true love.

15. A best friend will not only wait for you to get ready—she’ll help you get ready. You know she’s better at braiding than you are anyway.

16. You never have to suck in your stomach for a best friend. Isn’t that the best feeling? Second only to taking off your bra at the end of a long day…

17. A best friend is fine with you wearing a dress that looks like a tent. She understands you’re majorly PMSing and last night you ate every cookie in sight. It’s cool.

18. A best friend carries spare feminine products on her person at all times. Lifesaver!

19. On vacation, a best friend can work on her tan for nine straight hours, just like you can. No one to entertain, woohoo! Plus, who else would you rather look at trashy celeb gossip mags with? No guy understands your fascination with Kim and Kanye…

20. When you’re in the mood for chocolate, your best friend is also in the mood for chocolate. When aren’t you in the mood for chocolate?
