I know this is a silly thread. But I was thinking often guys are portrayed as loyal to each other in the recent slew of movies and media with the "bromances." Wouldn't it be cool for women to have their own code among each other to protect each other and maintain the friendship without resorting to catty behavior and competitiveness. I'm just saying. There is nothing for women. A whole lot of us with XX chromosome never unite as our gender intended and just seem to be so competitive against each other. I'm just saying. It seems like... we need an unwritten or written rule of women's friendships with women's friendships.

What do you think?

Okay, for all you negative types or uber competitive ones, keep moving to another thread.

When single women see a "hunque" they are after, they get the knives out. No sisterly affection then.

If you want a "sisterly" relationship. get married and they you'll have something to get together and complain about - your husband!

No matter if you are a guy or girl the only time people are truly non competitive with each other, especially when it comes to the opposite sex, is when one person doesn't want what the other has or one person isn't in the same league and can't compete anyway. I mean, to be non competitive otherwise is like saying another persons happiness is more important than your own, which is pretty hard for anyone to do because we aren't wired that way.

I was never competitive with my girl friends though so I can't relate.

Have no idea. I don't have catty, competitive female friends. We all have each other's backs.

Maybe it's an issue of just finding decent people to hang out with.

Uhm...there is. You see it in movies all the time. Women have a bond and code when one of them is hurt by a bro.

Bro-code is fading with this generation. Guys are just as catty as girls now. All the boys are being raised as vags, look at Justin Bieber...

I don't think that's the case. I do think movies and TV (i'm thinking of How I Met Your Mother right now, lol) play up the bro code and bros before h*** a lot even though in real life, women often have the same kind of friendships.

Right on...It depends on what kind of friends you have. I never had them and I don't want those kind of friends. It's call drama and I don't like drama. The only "unwritten rule" I know is "friends don't date friend's exes".

For men the rule is not to move on your buddies girl. Some other guys girl is fair play.
If the girl is a ex of your buddy she is fair game.
