Girls who have mostly guy friends are treated unfairly. They are often called demeaning names by those who assume they are only friends with men because the relationship is beyond platonic.
But it’s 2019! And in 2019, girls—and everyone else—can be friends with anyone they want. Besides, those who think there’s something suspicious about a girl with male friends is the one guilty of having inappropriate thoughts. Maybe this discomfort reflects more on them and their intentions. Some food for thought.
1. Girls who mostly have guy friends get a bad rap:

2. There are a lot of reasons men make for better friends than women:
3. For one, they always look out for you:
Having guy best friends is like having a bunch of brothers who always look out for you. They always have your back.#GuyFriends

7. Without spending hours figuring out where to go:
you wanna know why guy friends will always be 1000000% better than girl friends? 1.) they are soooo much better at coordinating when to hangout and are NEVER late. 2.) you never have to argue about where to eat because 9/10 times they want mexican.

9. Are the ones that are thinking inappropriate thoughts:
Girls who say girls with guy friends are sluts are the real hoes cos they can't hold down a friendship with a guy without sleeping with them

10. And the guys who behave in this manner reflect worse on themselves than anyone else:

11. In fact, having female friendships can and should be seen as a benefit for young men:

13. Besides, some girls have had traumatic experiences with other females:
“why don’t you have any girl friends?? girls rule !!”
me: girls are snakes, girls stab you in the back, girls have no problem talking to ur man when they know he’s w you, girls will praise you to ur face then talk about you an hour later, girls are petty. Should I continue ???

14. All that matters is the quality of friendship—regardless of gender:
to all girls out there with lots of guy friends, mind this! Friendship is way more important than people judging you..
