Carrie Bradshaw shops with one and Grace Adler confides in one. ReallyRich.com was inspired by the notion that every girl needs one; so here are the top reasons why every girl needs a gay best friend…

The Insight

Despite an array of differences between straight men and a gay men, the fundamental way their minds work are the same. To put it bluntly, while women struggle to understand their partners, gay men know just how men tick, because when it comes down to it – they are a man themselves. This gives women with a gay best friend, an invaluable insight into how men’s minds work; which often results in you having the upper-hand when faced with romantic dilemmas. Questions such as; “Does he like me?”, “What should I wear?” and the age-old favourite – “Why hasn’t he called back?” are answered  in seconds from a GBF.

The ‘Honest Gene’

Gay best friends always seem to have the honest gene. It can sometimes come across as rude, or brutal, but honesty really is the best policy. While your girlfriends can tell you look gorgeous, your gay best friend will enlighten you when you look like the back-end of a bus. And even better, they won’t be afriad of you looking  better than them. It takes time to build an immunity to offense but once you have, your GBF’s honesty will save you from a lot of nasty situations.

No Competition

When out with your single girlfriends, there is often an underlying competition to seek male attention. Women can be extremely vicious when it comes to competition and having a gay best friend means you’ll almost never flirt with the same man…unless to decide what team he bats for.

Protection

It’s a common misconception that gay men are weak and feeble. Just having a man to walk you home or escort you from bar to bar will often deter any unwanted attention. Most GBF’s play up to the stereotype but underneath, gay guys can be just as tough as straight guys. A gay best friend is basically a boyfriend you don’t have sex with. With no complicated feelings and the aggro that goes with them, he’ll become the perfect male companion.

A Two Headed Coin

Having a gay best friend only goes so far. I have friends who surround themselves with gay men and have little or no interaction with straight guys – or even women for that matter. This can be unhealthy as it ostracises them from dating and socialising with different types of people.  You should try to keep your social life in balance. A good indication is if you find yourself in a gay bar more times than a regular bar – you’re probably over doing it! Just remember to enjoy him like all good things in life…in moderation!
