6 Reasons Youngest Sisters Make the Best Friends

Jan 13 2016 - 4:30pm

If you've met a lady who says she's the youngest sibling, you better win her heart now or you'll end up with a serious case of regret. Everyone knows (besides perhaps the older and middle siblings) that the youngest sibling makes for an amazing better half and woman. Listen up and choose your next woman wisely and make sure she's known as the "last in the family."

1. She Appreciates When You Remember the Little Things

The youngest kid? Our mothers didn't fill out our baby books — in fact, she probably didn't even buy one or if she did, one of our older and supposedly "wiser" siblings ruined it by scribbling all over it with crayon that it never got filled out. No one remembers our first steps. Actually, neither of my parents is completely sure what my Hebrew name is because I'm number four out of four girls! (OY VEY!) as long as I was breathing, all was OK with the world.

Your youngest sibling girlfriend will go gaga if you remember her full name (that's first, middle, and last) simply because she was most likely called by her siblings' names for her whole life.

If you can tell her anything about her childhood — like her favorite boy band or cartoon growing up — she might make you dinner for a month! This is a good thing unless like myself, her older siblings cooked for her and now her domestic skills are less than subpar.

2. She's a Lot of Fun

In order to be heard above the masses (i.e., our family) we had to be funny and colorful, lest someone forgot we existed. Your youngest sibling girlfriend is going to be the life of the party and it will never be a dull moment with her by your side. Get ready for a lifetime of fun!

3. She's Pretty Much Impossible to Defeat

The youngest sibling is the best spy ever, hands down! We grew up snooping through our older siblings' things (sorry sisters) and watching them live their lives, make their mistakes and hit some big victories. Nothing gets past us. We know what's going on before it's even in motion. This makes us an amazing girlfriend because you want a woman who is smart, resourceful, and on the up and up! No one will ever mess with you when you've got the youngest sibling by your side because we are well equipped with comebacks and information before your opponent will ever bring you down. You are unbeatable with the youngest sibling by your side.

4. She's a Trailblazer

The oldest sibling is typically the more overachieving or the one sibling that follows in the family footsteps but the youngest sibling goes against tradition and the grain by doing whatever she wants! This is incredibly sexy: a person who goes for what she wants and doesn't care about how others feel or what they expect of her is a confident and independent partner that will not only inspire you in your own life but will also teach you to take some worthy risks.

A youngest sibling as a partner is dynamic and ambitious. She is not one to sleep on her laurels. You will feel proud pointing and saying — "That's my woman!"

5. She's Not Afraid to Invest in Herself

People say "Oh the youngest child or the only child is so selfish," but I think that's an unfair stereotype. We aren't selfish but rather we invest in ourselves. We care about everything from our mental health to our career trajectory. We take time to see friends and take time to enjoy breaks. We know how to work and when to play. A youngest sibling is a partner who will enter the relationship with a full life and self-care attitude, which for you as a man, is amazing. If you want a girl who looks to be your shadow, the youngest sibling is not your match! If you want a woman who's got a lot going for herself, than sign yourself up with the youngest sibling.

6. She's Probably a Social Butterfly

As the youngest, we often tagged along with our older siblings, begging to be a part of the "big kid" scene so as adults, we've made our own scene and social life. Wallflowers are rarely the youngest siblings. If you want a woman who can hang with the boys and the girls, you need a youngest sibling for your best mate. If you want a woman who's not requiring you to complete her, than you want a youngest sibling.

She will be comfortable in almost any group and social situation and she will never rely on you to coordinate her social calendar.

Youngest siblings rock! I may be biased — OK I'm completely biased here — but I'm here to tell you gentlemen: drop the myth of the selfish, irresponsible youngest child and realize that your youngest sibling ladyfriend is a trailblazer with a zest for life that is unstoppable. Snatch her quick before she runs away!
