Best Friends > Boyfriends
October 10, 2009 Posted in Relationships

I’m a senior in college, single, loving it, and have just as many girlfriends as random sexual escapades (almost). So maybe I’m not having as much consistent sex as I’d like, but I am still getting my fill of lovin.
I am absolutely in love with my girlfriends.
I feel more fulfilled from my friend relationships than I’ve ever had from boyfriends. Maybe that’s not saying too much about my ex’s, but the power of the female friendship amazes me, especially in college.
In high school, I used to be a boyfriend-girl (you know the type). Although I tried to split time between the BF and the BFFs, I definitely ended up sacrificing girl time for the boyfriend. But now, after staying single in college, I never have to make the sacrifice of feeling lonely just because I don’t have a boyfriend. I actually feel more loved, supported, and celebrated through my friends.
I always have someone to laugh with, cry with, and get bagels at 10 in the morning when I’m hungover with. My girlfriends are the perfect boyfriend that doesn’t exist.
Being a single, senior with my chicas is exactly how I want to spend my last year in college.
Besides, who wants to be tied down with a boyfriend for their senior year? Not me, that’s who. I’d rather drink with my girlfriends, hang out with some hotties, and have my nice full bed (and comforter) all to myself.
Tell us what you're thinking...

Lucky you that you can find such worthwhile friends. That's near impossible here.
I'll stick with my wonderful boyfriend and guy friends. Plenty of (awesome) sex, great conversation, and NO DRAMA!

No way – chicks before dicks any day! I love being single and being able to go out with my girls, have fun, and not have to worry about a bf who will get jealous if a guy even looks at me too long or something ridiculous. I hate those girls that feel like they have to have a bf to complete them – it's so pathetic.
Casey says:

Lindsey, I think you've been dating the wrong kinds of guys. My boyfriend doesn't get jealous because he knows I love him and no matter who hits on me he knows I'm coming home to him. And I don't "need a boyfriend to complete me" I need MY boyfriend because HE completes me. Maybe one day you'll know what that feels like.

Its totally pathetic. Almost as pathetic as a pack of women completely co-dependant on eachother as if they were newborn poodles.

Ok Casey, well let's hope for your sake that he never dumps you and you are then suddenly missing a part of yourself. That's the problem – these girls form their own identities and self-concepts and include in this being "so-and-so's girlfriend." In actuality they should just be themselves without dependence on others in the case that they lose this relationship and are forced to get by on their own. So many of my best girlfriends have become so wrapped up in their relationships that when when they get dumped (which let's face it, happens a lot since we are still young and don't know what we really want) their whole world comes crashing down and it takes such a long time to make them feel better and come out of their funk. It's just sad.

Well, I guess you never will have that feeling then, since you apparently don't believe in giving relationships your all. My boyfriend and I live together. And I've actually never been dumped (and I've had 5 long term relationships) By "my boyfriend completes me" I don't mean that I'm dependent on him. I'm my own person and am perfectly capable of standing on my own two feet. What I mean is he's my soul mate, the person I want to marry and "become one" with. I'm not "Chases girlfriend" Actually, everyone refers to us as "Chasey". We have our main group of friends, which is how we met, and then we each have our own friends that we go out with occasionally.
This is the kind of relationship you have with a person when you actually put your whole heart into it.

Oh, and I'm a very firm believer in "everything happens for a reason" so if I were ever dumped I'd realize the relationship obviously was not meant to be, and I wouldn't waste my time or energy being upset about it, because I don't want to hold onto something that's not meant to be anyway. It just inhibits me from finding something that is meant to be.

Then you're lucky. I've met maybe one or two girls throughout my entire life who have actually treated me well. Aside from them, all my other "girlfriends" have raked me over the coals and dragged me down. My best friend now is my boyfriend, and he's pretty much the only person I ever spend time with. And honestly, I'm absolutely fine with that. I don't feel like I'm missing anything at all. Except all the shit that girls put me through.
Miriam says:

By the way, Casey, I'm like in the EXACT same boat. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in the world who actually wants to give all of myself to someone rather than just settling for one night stands and girlfriends, but it's nice to know I'm not the only one.

I guess I'm in a good situation. My boyfriend is my best friend.
Casey says:

I know I shouldn't reply to the troll, but I just had to respond to this, "Casey- If everything happens for a reason, why would all of your terrible childhoods events happened to you? How the fuck does that make sense?"
They happened to me because without them I wouldn't be the strong person I am today. Because they are a part of me and who I am, and while I'm not glad that they happened I've made the best out of them and taken from them what I can.

My boyfriend is my BFF too (he hates it when I call him that lol) I'm like Miriam, I spend most of my time with him and I love it. I used to have a pack of girlfriends but they caused so much drama, I just stick to having guy friends now.

OK. In my time I have always had female friends. I love hanging with them and not for the sex, but for the interesting differnces we all have. I love a womens insight. That being said a lot of women I date tend to be jealous because I do enjoy my girls. Besides, who doesnt want to hang with beautiful chicas all day?

Really depends on the person. Everyone is different. Both guys and girls. Most of us have a preference on which sex we prefer to hang with and that reflects through who we're friends with.

Yes i agree with Darwin. Every one is a different person and also it depends upon the mood. Everything counts to some extent.

From experience I wouldn't choose friends over a -good-boyfriend. I have plenty of friends, we go out together have good times & share some "secrets"… but there always comes a point where they start ignoring others(me) once they get boyfriends/girlfriends… they only come back when things get messy.. I don't really hold it against them but I know better than to put them first.
There's just one girl who has been my BFF for over eight years who'd I choose over a boyfriend (not that she'd ever make me choose) & I make sure every guy I date knows how much she means to me… they get the idea

I don't think it is necessary for us to fight over which life is better to live. I've been with my boyfriend for 4.5 years and I go back and forth between thinking it is the best way to live and thinking i need to be alone nd independent. Lets face it, girls in relationships want to put down single girls because we are jealous of your freedom. Single girls want to put down girls in relationships because they are jealous that we have found a loving relationship (no offense -nothing like the relationship we have with our girlfriends). I'm just sick of this fight. I've lost too many girlfriends because of this stupid relationship girls versus single girls bullshit. I wish everyone would stop trying to justify their own position by putting down the "other side".

Both kind of women have good and bad things about them but the fact of the matter is that you refuse to love yourselves in many of your relationships which cuases problems for both of these prefrence types. love yourself and love others for themselves there is no need for change in a relationship becuase if you love them then you love everything they are asking for someone to change is greedy and leads to problems. if theres something about a person thats better of changed or nonexistant like drinking problems, gambling, cheating etc. and theyve told you they love you then theyll will change on there own. if you dont like something about a relationship never threatin to leave just leave any problems youve had with your relationships are not just the mens fualt like the media likes to popularize nowadays. give & take works but most people dont know what this actually means, this also goes for both women types that are bickiring on this post. now where the two women types fighting here to be women who were lesbian or bi my responce would vary but youve all made it very clear your straight[or at least have sexual intrest in men] so to all of you i ask you to learn to love youselves before others as hard as that may be for some of you.
|to the poster| it sounds like you are the cuase of all your unsuccessful relationships please stop blaming men for you greed and lack of selflove, for doing so qualifies as a type of women that leads men to think theres no such thing as love to women which makes them to hurt other inoccent women[out of thought that women dont care] later on…oh wait you are already this kind of women arent you, guess you better stop sleeping around with random men becuase noone wants a relationship with you. |to all women| you cuase men to sleep around and be as unattached as they are either from bad parenting, or single moms/dads[NEVER do this to your kid] or freinds with the first two or partners with the first two. men arent born as cheating jerks.
