In Praise of the Male Gender

Disclaimer:

This is not a rant or a frustrated entry. What I write here can be taken at face value. It is only fair that I add this to what I wrote in my last note.

I am just so thankful for my awesome guy friends. While there are times that guys annoy me beyond belief and I just don't understand them, I think the good outweighs the bad. I am glad that I have so many great guy friends. They are loyal and trustworthy. I love hanging out with guys because they are so chill. There is no drama and other silliness to worry about. I feel like I can just be myself; laugh, joke and have fun. I have always had protective guy friends who watch out for me and make sure I don't get hurt. They will defend me if necessary, and I know they always have my back. They will take me to the store to get medicine when I am sick, stay up for hours on AIM or Skype to entertain me when I can't sleep. They fix stuff for me when it breaks and come pick me up when my car breaks down and I can't fix it. They offer me their jackets when I am cold. They give me hugs and cheer me up when I feel bad or am having a crummy day.They give me rides places. They will walk with me to class, then stand around and talk when they could be doing other things. They sit in class with me and tutor me in math. They play sports and video games and watch movies, etc that other girls don't like. They listen to music and take me to concerts that other girls don't like. They take me out to cheer me up when something sucky happens. They buy me food, drinks, or movie tickets when they don't have to. They open the car door for me and let me sit in the front. They say nice things (sometimes) and listen to me rant and rave when I need to vent.

Basically, what I am saying is that I have the best guy friends in the whole wide world and I wouldn't trade them for anything. I just needed to put that in writing because I don't think I tell them enough how important they are to me and how much I love them. Thanks guys.
