Do You Understand The Guy Code?

By Alan Bentley
Girls are often just really confused by the ways their significant love interest behaves. Not that we want to be too paranoid about everything, but it seems that just when you are getting to know them they behave in the strangest fashion. If you mention this to your girlfriends, they may also reflect on similar experiences that they have had with their guys. Could it be that there is an unspoken methodology here -- there is such a thing as the guy code?

We have done a lot of research and asked some pertinent questions and found out that there is a type of guy code, a subconscious set of rules that are adhered to by all men. It is set within their psychology and something that they have acclimatized themselves to as they grow up. This is the way they are supposed to behave and the code tells us how a man should interact in regard to his friends whenever a girl is around. They are required to act a certain way.

It's very difficult to understand what the guy code entails as it's not something which is generally spoken about, except by us girls if we're trying to get to the bottom of it! It is not spoken about because it is just understood subliminally and is contained entirely within the male subconscious. It hardly seems fair, does it, that we have to work out the hard way what it all means?

There are essentially three rules compromising the guy code and they are just accepted completely as they are in every man. Simplicity rules and it is more than expected that he is to stick to these codes without question. If he doesn't, the other guys are likely to take a very dim view of this altogether.

One of the main rules associated with a guy code is that he is not supposed to reveal anything about his best friend's significant other. This can be unfair to the girls, as it means that if the particular guy is cheating than the other guy friends will not tell even if they know something. I guess this is male bonding but it means you cannot rely on his male friends to tip you off if something is happening at all.

One of the good rules involved with the Guy code dictates that a man cannot go behind the back of his friend and try and steal his love interest. For the girls, this means that you can basically trust you guys not to mess around with one of the other girlfriends. This does not need to be written into a guy code, does it?

A big unspoken rule, contained within the guy code is totally unfit, we think. This rule says that male friends come in front of the girlfriend and this seems to explain why the Friday evening or Saturday evenings are always selected for going out with the boys to have a beer or something. This also explains why the Saturday afternoon football game is so important. Maybe we can live with this one.

Such an unspoken set of rules as determined by the Guy code seem to be very unfair. Girls just don't really understand what it's all about and can have difficulty cracking this code. It could be that if we just go along with the game then we might be able to convince them in the long term that there are better things to do and worry about the more attractive time to be had with us.
