good guys

I was talking to my friend Chris tonight. I was thinking about what a great guy he is and all. Now don't misunderstand he has some shit, but don't we all? But all the shit aside he is what I would call a good guy. So now I'm thinking what are the characteristics of a good guy? I think for me it's like this;

a guy you can laugh with - easily.
one who stands up for you even when you might not be completely right.
a guy you can grab a quick bite with.
someone you think deserves to be in the greatest romantic relationship.
a guy who can talk about alot of shit and is interested in listening to even more.
somebody who likes being around you without expecting anything more than you can offer.
an honest guy.
somebody who wouldn't judge you - any harder than he'd judge himself.
a guy you wish you would have known longer.

I'm pretty lucky to have the good friends I have. My crew at the gym are an outstanding bunch of men and the same can be said about the boys at the clubhouse. They're not perfect...but they're good guys, damn good guys.
