In the process of getting rid of unnecessary drama in my life, I ended up with mainly guys as my closest friends*. I constantly heard girls in middle school talking about how having guys as best friends is so much easier.
*I'm defining closest friends as the people I tend to talk to on a daily basis, even if it's through texting or Snapchatting
One of the main reasons usually given for this is that guys have less drama. I, however, have found this to not always necessarily be true. I have been friends with guys who gossip more than my friends that are girls. If I would tell them something about someone, they would stir up drama.
A perk to having mainly guy friends is they can (possibly) give you better advice for your guy problems. They also may be thankful for your advice for them about girls. Some of the best advice about guy problems came from guys that I'm close friends with.
Sometimes people ask you if you and your best guy friend are dating and both of you get disgusted. This is something that annoyed me. People would always assume I was flirting with my guy friends or they were flirting with me. Occasionally this was true, but it wasn't all the time.
My favorite thing about having mainly guy friends is you have a whole group of big brothers (even if they are younger than you). They constantly will protect you as if you are their sister. I grew up with no brothers so this was nice to know that my guy friends had my back.
I honestly, despite some of the downsides, do greatly appreciate my guy friends because I wouldn't be able to get through life without them.
