The Guy Code.
Men live by it, Women hate it.
What is the guy code? The guy code is a list of guidelines men should live by in order to maintain manlyhood.
When reading it, women will either find it hilarious, or extremly degrading. The Guy Code is an unspoken set of rules for man, they don't necessarily have to own a set of rules on paper, then just know what is acceptable and what is not. Some examples of the Guy Code are ...
1. Honor your true friends
2. You are not allowed to be a source of information when the girlfriend/ wife is questioning you about your true friends whereabouts. Deny everything.
3. You have to ask permission before dating a friend's ex.
4. Women will be stereotyped as sports virgins unless proven otherwise.
5. If your friend is under the influence and you think he may cheat on his girlfriend, you must attempt to discourage him.
