BFF.

Best friends are tough cookies.

Especially when they are of the female persuasion.

If you have ever liked a guy whose best friend is a girl, allow me to applaud you because it is not easy. Women are territorial and that level of leaving your mark only increases when they guy is a best friend.

Why are female best friends so protective of their guy best friend?

I do believe men and women can just be friends. However, I think girl best friends are ultra protective of their guy friends because they understand how women operate and consequently, they do not want their friend to get caught in a situation that they might have easily created themselves with another guy. Women understand one another and they understand that some women can be manipulative and deceiving.

OK, OK. Isn't that a great benefit of the doubt synopsis? Now, on to being real.

While men and women can just be friends, some women do subconsciously want their male best friend to one day be their groom. And, to some extent, can you blame them? After years of bonding with a person, those feelings are only natural. Also, some women are naturally very caddy and jealous. Unfortunate and sad, but true. So, it is instinctive for them to despise their boy's new girl because well, the new girl is not them.

In the end, harboring negative feelings for your boy's boo is counterproductive. Unless you can prove that she is an ax murderer, chances are he will take your opinion into consideration without letting your word be law. He will still think she's hot, cool, and possible gf material.

Everyone deserves a fair chance. No point in holding anything against the poor girl just because your guy friend has maybe seen her in her skivvies. So, stop trying to mark your territory and because then, you'll just be known as a female dog.

Love freely,
