I grew up following two cousins who are guys, then I was followed by my brother. I am a true blue daddy's girl and most of my childhood friends were boys. It didn't change even when I entered high school and college.
There are perks and downsides of being a girl with mostly guy friends A.K.A. "one of the guys". Here are a few:
When they see you, you’re either greeted with a loud “What’s up man?” or “Yo dude!”
|
I could have sworn I have two X chromosomes. |
Followed by a high five or a fist bump.
|
Or some weird ass handshake. |
Your swear word vocabulary is two times broader than most girls.
|
It's so broad that if your grandmother heard you, you'll be eating soap for a week. |
Which are useful when you play video games with them.
|
And you couldn't help think you're turning into a female Gordon Ramsay. |
You have become immune to green and bathroom jokes.
|
Hohum. |
.
You lost count on how many times you’ve been called a tomboy.
|
Surprise, surprise. *rolls eyes* |
Because they talk to you about girls like as if you were a boy.
|
Say what? |
That's why when you're all dressed up, they majorly freak out.
|
It's like they saw freaking ET. |
People assume you're dating all, if not, at least four of them.
|
Puh-lease. |
.
And because of that, it takes months (even years!) to convince their girlfriends you're just a girl[space]friend.
|
It's like discussing quantum physics. |
When the guy you like texts you, you don’t have to over analyze because your guy friends can translate it for you.
|
Oh. Cool. |
They demand to meet the guy you're dating.
|
So they can make sure he treats you properly. |
You know that they will always have your back.
- And they know you have theirs.
Because, you know... you're family. :)
