Man's Best Friend - The 5 Types of Women Every Man Should Befriend

Having female friends can be beneficial on many levels. The inside information they can provide is only one of the many perks, giving a whole new meaning to friends with benefits. And yes, it is possible to share an emotional bond with the opposite sex without being sexually attracted to each other. Try it! Here are the 4 types of woman you should befriend?

Your Girlfriends Best Friend: You have no idea how important it is to befriend your girl's bff. This is the girl who can make or break your relationship. Tread lightly at first and don't jump to conclusions. She's going to be skeptical of you because that's part of her job, but if her friend is happy, she'll want to like you. Contrary to popular belief, best friends won't get crazy jealous and hate you out of principle unless they're not a very good friend (or you're a lousy boyfriend). She has your girl's best interest at heart, so she'll be able to give you priceless insight.

The Wingwoman: This is the guys' girl, who's always been a part of your man crew. She drinks beer with the best of them and knows more about fantasy baseball than you could ever dream of. This is the girl who meets hot girls at the bars and introduces you to them with glowing recommendations. She may even shoulder the burden of shopping and brunching with your girlfriends. A warning: Don't even think about trying to sleep with your wingwoman.

The Nurturer: This is the girl who always has a place set for you at Thanksgiving dinner, can't help but clean your apartment when she's visiting you, and will gladly pick you up at 4 in the morning after you've had too much to drink. She's also the one who most likely wants you to settle down, but also knows how picky you are, so she'll set you up with only her very best girlfriends.
