It’s common place knowledge with young people who are woke, guys always try to live up to it and girls sometimes can’t make sense out of it. While some dudes don’t have a clue but simply try to match up. It has broken relationships and literally made some boys go broke, it’s a false sense of commitment that only lands you in trouble if wisdom isn’t one of your soft skills - You figured?
Yeah the culprit, the phenomenon, the principle popularly known as the GUY CODE.
Let me break it down, the GUY CODE is a compound set of rules that dudes who claim to be woke, sharp and trending must obey. It makes them hide under the umbrella of being sweet boys….such FalaZy, I hope you got the pun.
So what are these rules…. I’ll expose
Never let your babe tell you what to do.
Don’t let her go through your phone
Good hygiene + Exercise
Don’t date your friend’s ex.
Bros before babes
Always take one for the team
Never date your bro’s sister without his blessing …… The list goes on.
Sometimes the guy code helps boys with self esteem, but when it comes down to relationships, trust me it doesn’t work. You see the guys who actually promote the code still go home and are submissive to their babes. For example look at no. 2, what’s with that rule - If you’ve got nothing to hide, let her see it. Though I really don’t see the point of going through anyone’s phone (establish trust till it’s broken).
My point still holds that most guys who promote the code have probably gone through failed relationships where they were jilted by the babe and feel they’ve got to be sharp with others, we all know perfect relationships have no manuals and the absolute code is understanding. So even if you have to run errands for her, don’t say no because it doesn’t fit into the guy code… pick a better reason. Because even the celebs that promote the code are probably washing their babe’s clothes (nothing wrong with that either, but it’s no general rule) some guy codes literally promote cheating on the babe then bros have to cover up, just imagine.
So which codes are dope, No. 7 is very important, You can’t mess with your bro’s sister. Standard rule, but if you really like her shoot that shot. No. 3 (definitely), No. 4 is tricky but it depends on your guy’s feelings, so most times it’s too close for comfort. Maybe after a few years, just remember some of these codes were made up by guys who met bad relationship situation, so stay smart
Some codes are continually relevant while some are just over hyped nonsense. But there is one code a guy shouldn’t break. NEVER TWERK AT A FAMILY PARTY … lol unless of course your bros twerk with you.
Then I heard the girls have their own code, super hilarious, I can’t wait to write that article.
Stay safe.
