Women have the same thing. If your bestie is fighting with her partner...we diss that rat (within a set of parameters so when she loves him again, she's not mad at you for dissing her man). Or how you'll never poach on a guy that your friend likes. Or if an ex of a friend, regardless of how long ago they broke up, is interested in you, it's against the code to be with them.
I only experienced a female friend cheating on her husband who was also my friend once. I didn't necessarily break the code, but he was getting ready to come back from Iraq and I couldn't tell him while he was there...so friends got together for a surprise for his wife, knowing her boyfriend would be there. He guessed before we got back to the house. We manipulated ourselves out of the code for that one.
Yep, that would describe it well. It's your support group. Men and women do this, friends and family.
Sounds like a 'bro' thing. Not something grown men would do. If you have friends that need to be 'covered', they are fools and why would one want to be friends with a fool?
Your username interests me....... No one likes a "snitch"......
That is pretty standard across ANY close knit circles!
No you are not in the minority, most, if not all, guys I know are like this. There are a apparently a bunch of neck beard virgins who think snitching is cool. Then they wonder why they can "never get a date."
I've always tried to figure why you men have this so called pledge of the guy code.
Why do you cover for each other?
The most thing that stands out in this Guy Code is covering for a buddy cheating on his women.
Maybe the guy code is just a myth, just wondering.
I'll be honest, I stick to it because 1. It's their relationship and not my business and 2. I don't want to have to deal with any backlash from it and 3. It's my friend and I don't hurt my friends. They know that what they are doing is wrong, I don't need to tell them that.
Men and women cover for their friends, when cheating is involved. When my ex wife was cheating on me, all of her girl friends knew about it, and didn't say a single word to me. It's just something friends do. No code involved.
I think it has to do with, "It's none of my business what my friend's relationship is with husband/wife, thus I will not get involved." It's not about covering up something or a loyalty code at all.
A lot of responses "it's not my business" "I mind my own business"
Interesting.
Nothing wrong with that, just interesting.
