Recently, a friend of mine shared a surprising story: he returned home to find a 6 foot 4 inch guy in his bedroom while his wife was giving him an eye-full of her bottom.
Even more concerning is his apparent indifference. However, this isn’t just any guy ogling at his wife in her underwear; this is a…well, somewhat of a cuddly bear hunk…a GBF.
You may wonder, what exactly is a GBF? It stands for her Gay Best Friend, her confidant.
This individual can provide support in ways my friend could only dream of. For instance, he can sit through Hollywood gossip shows without feeling nauseated. He can genuinely express excitement about shoes without flinching. Unlike her female friends, he still possesses insight on Justin Bieber’s hair.
These are merely a few reasons why having a GBF is beneficial in any relationship.
Men, there’s no need to fear GBFs…rather, welcome them. Of course, not in a literal sense, as that could lead to various relationship complications.
Consider this example showcasing the brilliance of GBFs: while the wife is upstairs trying on something atrocious, he remarks, “You look like you wandered into K-Mart blindfolded and coated in glue.”
His comments might sting more than I could ever manage, yet she appears unbothered.
In my view, men are supposed to enjoy pipe smoking, build sheds, and refrain from providing fashion advice on demand.
It’s no wonder GBFs have become so fashionable; even Miley Cyrus once confessed that she’d prefer dining with hers over her boyfriend. Kelly Osbourne is rumored to be contemplating having a baby with her GBF.
I’ll admit, I might feel a bit sidelined in such a relationship. Even though I complain about being taken to see some dreadful romantic comedy, it doesn’t mean I’d rather have the GBF attend in my place.
However, the advantages surpass the downsides, so much so that I’m starting to think perhaps I could use a GBF of my own…a no-strings-attached lesbian friend to share experiences with…yes, that’s right, an LBF.
We could binge-watch Die Hard movies together, spend weekends enjoying drinks, fishing, and even watching strippers.
So, if anyone knows a lesbian interested in cultivating such a friendship, please reach out. Seriously, I would love for you to get in touch.
