Let's Be Friends

Ms. Mishmaoul August 20th 2008

Ladies ladies ladies – and guys too of course -– where do I begin?
I was all set to write about the Olympics this week – you know, guy athletes, jocks, the whole appeal, the six-pack, Michael Phels, etc … except, I just got back from a dinner and a more juicy topic has reared its ugly head!

THE GUY BEST FRIEND.

Wonderful in theory of course:
So much more compatible than your girl friends. No competition. No drama. No PMS. Won’t go out and get the exact same Chanel ballet flats that you bought (yes, you know who you are!). More over, He says what he means. He won't stab you in the back. He's rational. Oh, and most importantly, he is not skinnier than you!

Any girl would love to have a guy as her best friend. In fact, my best friend used to be that fabulous guy. We were like 2 peas in a pod; always smooth sailing, inseparable – until he broke my heart that is.

Maybe it's biological. Who knows? Who cares! It is what it is.
We’re no longer in elementary school where girls and guys can be “just friends”.

Or can they? Lets be honest, women are not exactly innocent in all this. We covet male attention and we love the flirtatious innuendo. We can, and always will, push our limits.

So if you truly want a real close friendship with a guy, then be mature about it. Avoid the confusion, have the talk. Set the guidelines. Protect your heart, because believe me, guys are not going to protect it for you.
