Guy Code vs. Girl Code

Someone wrote something about the girl code recently and it got me to thinking...what is the girl code? To me it seems like women don't like when women disrespect other women for the sake of their own ego.

The guy code seems really different. It seems to me like guys have a mind your own business clause, which is more about not snitching on each other. Am I wrong?

I know that not everyone follows either of these, but some people really seem to and also if we're like other animals then it makes sense there are some subtle behavior signals that we may be mostly unconscious of that influences how we treat each other.

 

I don't follow a 'code', I just act like a decent human being and things seem to be going pretty well so far. I'm alive and have lots of friends and no enemies

 

I don't think everything is so dependent on gender. If it is, then it's kind of silly.

 

Yeah guy rule #1 stated that no guy shall rat another guy out, there are exceptions however.

For example: you catch a guy cheating on your sister. Even then you must consider all extenuating circumstances before making a decision.

Here's are some other guy code rules:

-When at the movie theater with another man, you must have one empty seat between both men

-No man may ever get a foot massage from another man.

-An anniversary is recognized on a yearly basis, under no circumstances will anything be celebrated in an interval other than a year

-When hanging out with your buddies and there's a game on. It's ok to ask "Whats the score?" It's not ok to ask "Who's Playing?"

-If a hot girl shall happen to pass by while you are in an arms reach of your buddy, you must, and will, tap him on the shoulder to make him aware of the babe

 

Generosity and respect.

 

I agree with this. I just try to do what's right. It has worked out pretty well so far.

I would rep you if I could. You made me laugh. :2thumbsup:

My husband threatened to take his friends "man card" today because his friend agreed with me about something while blaming my husband. haha.

 

Well I'll just wait for VG to show up and enlighten me.

 

culturally there have been these differences between how male and female demonstrate their ego. but its all ego stuff is all it is. which is just because people think other people expect it of them.

i'm not interested in sports nor soap operas. only in building. i'll leave the destroying to others, who seem to think its needed, which i don't.

same goes for excitement or trying to impress people either.

there are different ways different genders are, or used to be, "supposed" to do these things, but they're all nonsense as far as i can see.

 

no worries, it's the thought that counts

oh and I agree with your husband. thats def grounds for dismissal.

 

The only one I have a problem with is the first one. I sure hope that's a joke. Cause if I had a sister and someone was cheating her I would most definitely open my mouth about it.

 

I may be wrong but I think that was an example of an exception to rule #1.

 

Well...he said..."even then..."

What I'm saying is there would be no exceptions to the exception

 

Even though I'm a girl I think I would fuck a guy up pretty good if I caught him cheating on my sister. Then I would let him explain what happened while I stood by and watched.

 

Ok well imagine a situation where a guy catches someone cheating on his sister while he's out cheating on his own wife.

Typical guy code dictates this scenario is a stalemate. Meaning both parties keep quiet and nobody gets in trouble. I know women think different but thats why this is called guy code.

 

Yeah and I'd be super pissed off with my brother if he knew I was being cheated on and said nothing.

 

Ohhhh no. 2 wrongs don't make a right. Although it would be hard to rat someone out without them ratting you out in retaliation.

 

It actually happens a lot more then women think.

Dammit I better shutup because now I'm breaking guy code! =X

True Story:

Back in highschool a friend of mine ditched school to go drink beer and party at his house, (parents worked during the day). Anyways when he walked in the house he caught his step dad banging some chick in the bedroom. They both had this awkward moment and then were like "ummmm yeah it's cool", so mom never found out and and they never spoke about it again.

 

If you are stupid enough to bang some chick in your own house then you deserve to get caught. I don't know how someone could let someone treat their mom that way. That's sad.

 

I'm not very female but I know that girls don't date their friends' ex's but since I mostly identify with males I do understand the male code.

In my "male mode" I don't ever rat out a (male) friend, never admit I'm wrong, don't ask questions without researching them online first,
feel humiliated if someone helps me (what-am I helpless?),
feel insulted if someone buys me something (are you saying I can't afford it?), feel outraged if someone implies I'm a helpless female.
And my male mode doesn't talk much..except about sports and politics, and wants to talk about pretty women.
Except I don't say anything about women because I AM a pretty woman (in looks).

Apparently these things are hard-wired into our brains by the hormones. In my female mode I think men are hopelessly stupid,
most other women are shallow and irritating, and children are annoying. But in female mode I feel it's my duty to be perfect in order not to lose face in front of other women.
