I did this when I was in high school. Eventually learned that people who betrayed their SO are not very good to their friends either(when they no longer need them). I haven't been in the situation since, but if it happens again, I'm dropping said friend and sending their SO an anonymous notice.
I think guys just pretty much don't open their mouth's when it comes to other guys and women. If that is a guy code, so be it. I just think of it as a no drama code.
You know I find this whole thread pretty damn hypocritical, women do this same stuff, don't act like this is a guy thing. Woman can't keep secrets between themselves and gossip like nobodys business
That said, I tend to not be friends with scumbags who cheat on their SO's...

Why of course some Women gossip and can't keep secrets. I do not think anyone has said that they can't. I am curious about Guy Code. Some good responses here explaining it.

That is pretty much what I am gathering it is. Interesting Side bar, is that why maybe there is alot of corruption? We need more Women in there to gossip and not keep a secret
Like seriously if you would tell a friend's girl about improprieties the night before you are a piece if s*** of the highest order, and the fact that anyone would even think this is remotely acceptable explains a lot about certain people on this message board.

It's because we're guys and there's a code. I'd like to say there's more to it, but there really isn't.
Absolutely right. The guys saying "cheating is wrong and I'm so appalled and disgusted by it to the point that my righteous self can't take so I'm going to tell his gf/wife/whatever are pieces of ****. I'm so glad I don't have [mod cut; offensive/sexist] like those as friends.

Wow, you couldn't be more wrong. This is a purely moral issue. I would tell anyone if I knew their SO was cheating, but only if I was asked since I don't like to lie. This is diff than going around telling people as soon as you know something.
What kind of person would lie for their friend when he/she has done something morally terrible? A dbag, that's who. It's like up is down and black is white here with some of you: Don't understand how the person who's telling the truth is the bad guy while the person lying to someone's face to cover up a friend's terrible behavior is the saint?
If you don't want me to answer honestly that you cheated when I'm asked, perhaps you shouldn't do the crime in the first place.

This is what I meant by birds of a feather flock together. I have a feeling that covering up for a cheating friend is something that happens among friends that cheat on their SO's and don't think twice about it. Someone that thinks cheating is wrong is probably less likely to cover for someone or to have a friend that would ask them to cover for them in the first place. I know that I wouldn't cover for a cheating friend and I can't imagine any of my friends would even ask me to do so in the first place. Granted, I'm a woman - but I don't really think that things are that different in this respect among men and women.
While both are about loyalty, the big difference is man code encourages decent and supportive behavior, while guy code is a way of ensuring that you and your 'boys' can go around abusing people and acting like a s*head with minimal repercussions.
