My best male friend is my best friend until he crosses me. We're all protective of the self.

But even with a character like Cary who is relatively outlandish, at the end of the movie he's in a place where I wouldn't have expected him to be - taking on the responsibility of a woman who is pregnant and who used to be his best friend's wife.

My best friend is my husband.

My body's my best friend.

Popular culture has made it okay to yell "I want a man!" from the rooftops, so why are we still embarrassed to say, "I want a best friend"?

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
