This reader's dilemma a few days ago got me thinking about how much more frequently I'm the hater BFF than the girlfriend. Or, let's put it this way: I'm always the Judy Greer, never the Jennifer Lopez.

Anyway, I've been having a hard time dealing with my friend's boyfriend lately. We got off to an OK start, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the dude is sort of a complete juicebox. So, on behalf of the pissy BFF, here are some reasons your female friends may dislike your boyfriend.
He makes you sad. Derp. If he's treating you bad, we're not gonna act like that's OK.
He thinks his ish don't stink. Acting "over" everything is not the way to endear yourself to people.
He says negative things about me to her even though they'll doubtlessly get back to me. Ah! What? After a poorly-executed slip by my best friend at an eyebrow waxing place, now I know I'm "the kind of girl who needs validation all the time" and "he wouldn't put up with it, if it was him." Thanks, bro.
At least one or more of his friends suck. Seriously suck. Like: womanizing, pretentious and manipulative.
Social moodiness. Ruining nights out with his inability to act human around large groups of people. I can't remember the last time my friend hasn't turned to us and been like "Sorry about X, he is in a bad mood." Which always culminates with him dragging her home early.
JUICEBOX!
