The DUFF, Every Girl Has One

Every time you go out and see a group of girls you can’t help but notice one very key element within that group of friends. This key element is a tactic that has been used by girls for years and will continue to be used until the end of time. Every group of girls has a DUFF.

What is a DUFF you ask? The DUFF is simply known as the Designated Ugly Fat Friend. Let’s face it; girls are very insecure about themselves whether they are smoking hot or not. There is always that little voice in the back of their heads where they ask themselves over and over again if they are pretty enough or skinny enough. That’s just the way it is. Therefore, they will always find a DUFF as a defense mechanism to feel better about themselves when going out in public.

This works in two different ways for the hot girls in the group. The first thing that happens is that it is an automatic ego booster. See the DUFF is also insecure and she is the only who is always telling the hot girl or girls how pretty they are. When girls get ready to go out they don’t give a shit what guys think. Girls get dressed to out do each other. That is how women are and everyone knows it.

Now after this happens the hot girls lie to their DUFF and tell her how pretty she is and how good she looks before they go out. This makes the DUFF feel like she is what one would call “Hot By Association”. Obviously, this is not the case, but as long as the DUFF is happy thinking this it doesn’t matter to the hot girls.

The last thing to remember here is that girls do not see it this way. Girls will actually never admit to any of this but deep down they all know that this is one thousand percent true. You will also notice that the DUFF is only with the group in public. When they have their “girls nights” of ice cream and stupid TV shows at someone’s house, the DUFF is never around. Some say this is because the DUFF is unimportant because it is not a public place, others believe it is because she will probably eat all the ice cream.

The final word of advice I will give on this matter comes from my friend, Frank Cipriani the one who gave me the idea for this. Always be aware of your surroundings and remember this quote, “The girl without the DUFF, is the DUFF.”
