I read your post, and to be quite honest, couldn’t figure out which “Man Code” it was that you broke.  So, I asked the WHH to check it out.  Maybe we’re just too damn old, but neither of us feel that you broke any codes.  OK, You’ve known those guys a long time, but you’ve obviously become friends with Beaner too.  So, you took her feelings into account wanted to let her talk it out?  I think that’s just being a compassionate human being.

is there more to this?  it ends at A few texts later, and I was going to pick her up from work that night to hear the issues she was having again. which leads me to believe there must be more because you didn’t get to the man code violation part.

PS:  You need to stay the fuck away from your friends girlfriends.  Nothing good will ever come of it.  You can’t help and/or support them without there eventually being some fallout.

I think what they meant isn’t on the list...you know, comforting a friend’s girlfriend.  Don’t guys get seriously jealous over that?

I’m not sure because it’s been proven that men feel betrayed when women are in any small way sexual with another guy and women feel betrayed when their boyfriend/husband feels an emotional connection to another woman.

In any event, I don’t get the code break and you need to suddenly be really busy when she calls you.

You set up the story so well that I knew he meant pick, not fuck, so I didn’t understand what the drama actually was.

And, man codes are for drunk frat boys.  Live life by your rules and if others wanna live it that way too then yay.  Life is short and happens one time, so live it.

#16 makes me laugh every time I encounter it.

#18 is very true. Very very true.

I’m thinking there should be a rule that says if you unjustly call a “Man Code” violation then the wrongly accused shall be able to call the accuser Princess for 48 hours in public, over a loudspeaker.

I couldn’t find a violation.

However I tend to agree with Miss Ann. Even if you are the teddy bear, sensitive, male perspective guy all the girls can all talk to, you have one major strike against you and that is you’re single. All men will see that as a threat eventually no matter how close of a friend you are.

I don’t see where the violation is.

I’m with Miss Ann though, I would suggest becoming extremely busy the next time she calls to cry on your shoulder.  Nothing ever good comes out of befriending the girlfriends of your friends.  The Steff not included, of course, since she was your friend before becoming the girlfriend of your friend.  Damn, that sounded convoluted, didn’t it?  LOL

Good luck, and I promise to only call you Princess until midnight.  Lucky you, we are in the same time zone now.  Otherwise it would be 3am EST instead of midnight

Sheesh, what a list.  I don’t think I could keep them straight.  But I do have to agree with #23, #24 and #67..Good thing I am not a man.

I see no violation. 

Ice cream in Novmeber is extremely acceptable.

You realize of course that almost every single rule on your list doesn’t apply to me.

How is it a man is supposed to remember this lengthy ass man code - but if given a list of more than three items from the store, it is completely expected that they will forget SOMETHING?

There are 69 items in The Man Code??  Please don’t tell me that means there are almost 700 items in The Woman Code

If #29 is the one KC thinks you broke, I think I disagree.  You weren’t ragging on The Terrorist with Beaner.  Maybe I’m misinterpreting, but it seems like you were trying to see if Beaner’s concerns were justified and trying to comfort her--though this may be perceived as excessive involvement with someone you’ve known only since this past year.

You said KC made the accusation.  Aside from giving you his perspective on the situation, how did The Terrorist react to your speaking with Beaner about it?  Did he see it as inappropriate?

Maybe you should do Cliff’s Notes for posts this long.
