Having friends of the opposite sex is wonderful and insightful and meenachis totally should have a macha bestie. Here are 6 reasons why machas make great friends and why meenachis shouldn’t miss on having a macha bestie.

1. He watches your back and protects you
As a macha, there is this protective instincts that kicks in when his bestie meenachi is tormented by another macha. He will go out there and challenge the macha who had been bothering you and fight him if needed. He watches your back and clears your path off obstacles. He’ll fetch you every time you call him, even during ungodly hours even though he says, “Podi, vara mudiyathu.” (Get lost girl, I won’t come) You’ll see that he’ll be there to fetch you nevertheless. He will do everything you ask him to do because he knows that you rely on him and he wants to be there for you.

2. He’ll identify all the bad news machas and help you steer clear off them
Your macha friend would always have your best interests at heart and he would want you to get the best bf/husband. So, he will analyze all the guys who approach you, do background checking or simply use his instincts to let you know whether or not that macha deserves you. On your wedding day, your macha bestie is the one who’d hug your husband and tell him to take good care of you.

3. He’ll teach you boys’ stuff
He will guide you to be more independent, urging you to learn to change a flat tyre, drive long distances alone and introduce combat video games. He will encourage you to embrace your bolder side and make you live on the wild side once in awhile when he thinks you’re getting too mundane. He’ll kick your ass and tell you to toughen up just in case he isn’t around to protect you or watch your back.

4. He will teach you all the bad words and laugh when you use them at him and you get rough with him
With girl friends, a certain prim and proper demeanor needs to be maintained but you can be profane with your macha bestie without being judged. Best of all, your macha bestie will teach you all bad words and when you use it at him, he’ll laugh and say, “Enekke va?” (A dose of my own medicine?). You can also call your macha bestie animal names like naiyi (dog), pandi (pig), kurangu (monkey) etc and laugh at his reaction. A macha bestie will readily accept playful beatings from you and go, “Adiyeh, vallikuthu di naiye!” (Girl, it hurts, you dog!)

5. He will never get jealous of you
There is this thing among girls - they easily get jealous of their girl friends but your macha bestie will never go green no matter if you overtake him in any aspect. He’ll be immensely proud of you and will always taunt you on your achievements outwardly, “Thoda, Sornakka PhD seiyarangelam, enthe cikai university ivala accept pannuchu nu terile, andava, anthe university govinda dhaan.” (See here, rowdy girl is going to do PhD, don’t know which lousy university accepted her, the university will become deficit) and swell in pride inwardly. Most importantly, he will never vittu kudukeran (let your worth fall) you at others.

6. He’ll double up as father or a brother
Your macha bestie comes in a package, plays the roles of daddy and bro - they will always look out for you and treat you special. You can even share very private stuff with him like telling him frankly that you’re on periods and that’s why you’re wearing that pained expression. In a way, this fortifies the friendship and at least your macha bestie knows that you trust him enough to share with him what is otherwise considered a shameful taboo. This in turn will make him respect all the women who are deserving of it.
