11 Awesome Perks of Being the Gay Best Friend in Your Squad

Seriously, I've probably seen more boobs than newborns. I'm not complaining, though. Who doesn't love a little cleavage?

I definitely receive more d*ck pics from my girlfriends than I do on Tinder. To all you pervy guys out there, just know your unsolicited junk photos are being viewed and laughed at over lunch.

Yes, it's hard out here for singles. Between Tinder, Match.com, and Christian Mingle, a girl has too many options. I've had my fair share of bad apples so I can quickly weed out the scrubs before they arrive on your doorstop.

You learn so much about gay culture being friends with a gay person. One of them being how to read, which basically means being able to come up with comebacks to anyone who tries you. Also known as throwing shade. It's an art form, dahling.

Gay guys are hilarious. I don't know where this sense of humor came from, but we have plenty of it.

Women love shopping as much as gays do because we both understand appearance is everything. But let's be clear: I only like going shopping if I'm looking for a new wardrobe. I'm not your tag-along stylist unless you pay me.

Having a guy's point of view is always useful when it comes to tips for the bedroom because who else can give better suggestions on how to please your man than an actual man? Enough said.

Nothing says friendship like dancing in your underwear to Beyoncé without judgment. Oh and there's no awkwardness or sexual tension between the opposite sexes. It's great.

In gay slang, sharing gossip is known as "spilling the tea," and I'm always ready for tea time. From who's dating who to who's up for that new job promotion, I'm always in the know because, well, people just feel comfortable talking to me about such things, and who am I to stop them?

For some reason, people just expect gay guys to have no filter. Which is partially true. Don't ask me if you look bloated in those jeans if you don't want to hear the truth. But, I usually tend to skew on the side of giving honest advice over negative criticism.

At the end of the day, everyone just wants to be heard and feel validated. No one understands that better than a gay person. I find solace in the fact that I can always lend an ear or a shoulder to cry on. Empathy is such a rare trait these days.

Basically being the gay best friend is awesome, so if you don't have one, you might want to get one ASAP!
