Figured i would share this email i got today.


1. If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever! Unless you actually marry her.

2. When questioned by a friend's girlfriend, you need not and should not provide any information as to his whereabouts. You are even permitted to deny his very existence.

3. Unless he murdered someone in your immediate family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 24 hours.

4. A best man's toast may not include any of the following phrases, "one time in Montreal", "one time when we were all piss drunk", or "and this girl had the biggest rack you ever saw".

5. You may exaggerate any anecdote told to your friends by 50% without recrimination, beyond that anyone within earshot is allowed to yell out "bullshit!". (exception: when trying to pick up a girl, the allowable exaggeration is 400%)

6. Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.

7. The minimum amount of time you have to wait for another man is 5 minutes. The maximum is 6 minutes. For a girl, you are required to wait 10 minutes for every point of hotness she scores on the classic 1-10 scale.

8. Bitching about the brand of free beverages in your buddy's refrigerator is forbidden. But gripe at will if the temperature is not suitable.

9. A friend must be permitted to borrow anything you own - grill, car, firstborn child - within 12 hr notice. Women or anything considered "lucky" are not applicable in this case.

10. Falling on a grenade for a buddy (agreeing to distract the skanky friend of the hot babe he's trying to score) is your legal duty. But should you get carried away with your good deed and end up getting on the beast, your pal is forbidden to ever speak of it.

11. Do not torpedo single friends.

12. On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest.

13. Before dating a buddy's ex you are required to ask his permission. If he grants it, he is however allowed to say, "man, your gonna love the way she licks your balls"

14. Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to pick a Buffalo wing clean.

15. If a mans zipper is down, that's his problem, you didn't see anything!

16. No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another man. (in fact, even remembering your best friends birthday is optional)

17. You must offer heartfelt condolences over the death of a girlfriends cat, even if it was you who secretly set it on fire and threw it into a ceiling fan.

18. While your girlfriend must bond with your buddies girlfriends with in 30 minutes of meeting them, you are not required to make nice with her gal pal's boyfriends- low level sports bonding is all the law requires.

19. Unless you have a lucrative endorsement contract, do not appear in public wearing more than one Nike swoosh.

20. When stumbling upon other guys watching a sporting event, you may always ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing.

21. If your girlfriend asks to set your friend up with her ugly, whiny, loser friend of hers, you must grant permission, but only if you have ample time to warn your friend to prepare his excuse about joining the priesthood.

22. Only in a situation of mortal danger or ass peril are you permitted to kick another member of the male species in the testicles.

23. Unless you're in prison, never fight naked. This includes men who aren't wearing shirts. If your buddy is outnumbered outmanned, or too drunk to defend himself, you must jump into the fight. Exception: if during the past 24 hours your friends actions have caused you to think "what this guy needs is a good ass wuppin", in which case you may refrain from getting involved and stand back and enjoy.

24. Friends don't let friends wear speedos. Ever. Case closed.

25. Fives must be called at all times when getting out of your seat. If not, your seat is up for grabs. However, "house rules" may come into effect, in which case it is left up to the owner of the seat.

26. Shotgun can be called on anything where a shotgun applies., as long as you are in eyesight of the object, or it is at a reasonable time.

27. When picking players for sports teams it is permissible to skip over your buddy in favor of better athletes- as long as you don't let him be the last sorry son of a bitch standing on the sideline.

28. If you ever compliment a guy's six pack, you better be talking about his choice of beverage.

29. Never join your girlfriend in ragging on a buddy of yours, unless she is withholding sex, pending your response.

30. Phrases that may never be uttered to another man while lifting weights:
"Yeah, baby, push it!"
"Come on, give me one more, harder!"
"Another set and we can hit the showers"
"Nice ass! Are you a Sagittarius?"

31. Never hesitate to reach for the last beverage or pizza, but not both. That's just mean.

32. Never talk to another man in the bathroom unless you are on equal footing: both urinating, both waiting in line for all other situations an "I recognize you" nod will do just fine.

33. Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer than you are able to have sex with her. Keep a stopwatch nearby, hang up if necessary.

34. You can not rat out a friend who show's up to work or class with a massive hangover, however you may: hide the aspirin, smear his chair with limburger cheese, turn the brightness on his computer way up so he thinks its broken, or have him paged every seven minutes.

35. If you catch your girl messing around with your best friend, let your states crime of passion laws be your guide.

36. If your buddy is trying to hook up with a girl, you may sabotage him only in a manor that gives you no chances of getting any either.

37. Before allowing a drunken friend to cheat on his girl, you must attempt one intervention. If he can get up on his feet, look you in the eye, and deliver a "fuck off" then you are absolved from all responsibility. Later on it is ok that you have no idea what his girlfriend is talking about.

38. The morning after you and a babe, who was formerly "just a friend", go at it, the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no reason not to jump on her again before there is a discussion about what a big mistake it was.

39. If a buddy has lint, an eyelash, or any other foreign object on his hair or face, under no circumstances are you permitted to remove it. However an appropriate hand gesture may be made to make him aware of it.

40. An anniversary is recognized on a yearly basis, under no circumstances will anything be celebrated in an interval other than a year

41. When using a urinal in a public restroom, a buffer zone of at least one urinal will exist at all times. If the only empty urinal is directly next to an occupied on, then you are still required to wait. (Exception: at a sporting event where a line has formed to use the pisser)

42. When coming to a room which you know is occupied by your friend and possibly another girl, you must knock and wait for an adequate response. If no response occurs, and the door is locked, a 10 minute period is required before knocking again.

43. The only time dicking over a buddy for a girl is legal, is when the girl ranks a 8 or above on the 1-10 scale. (exception: a girl may rank from 5-7, as long as there is oral sex involved).

44. A mans gotta scratch what a mans gotta scratch. This applies to picking as well. Let the man be.

45. No man shall ever watch any of the following programs on TV:
Figure skating
Men's gymnastics
Any sport involving women (unless viewed for sexual purposes)

46. If you accidentally touch or brush against any part of another man below the waist, it is an understood accident, and NO apologies or any reference to the occurrence is necessary.

47. No man shall spend more than 2 minutes in front of a mirror. If more time is required, a three minute waiting period must be allowed before returning to the mirror.

48. Any dispute lasting any longer than 3 minutes will and must be settled by rock, paper, scissors. There is no argument too important for this determining method.

49. No man will ever willingly watch a movie in which the main theme is dancing, and if a man shall happen to view such a movie it is only acceptable if its with a girlfriend.

50. Only acceptable time when a man is allowed to cry:
when a heroic dog dies to save his master.
after being struck in the testicles with anything moving faster than 7 mph.
When your date is using her teeth.
The day Anna Kornikova chooses a husband.

51. If a bet is made, and the challenge is completed, then the bettor may recoup his money by immediately completing a more daring challenge. If he refuses the challenge or chooses not to propose one, then and only then, must the money be paid.

52. Masturbate often. (exception: if your roommate is due back within the hour)

53. If a hot girl shall happen to pass by while you are in an arms reach of your buddy, you must, and will, tap him on the shoulder to make him aware of the babe.

54. A man's shoes may not intentionally match any other article of clothing on his body.

55. No comment shall ever be made to a man about how much he is sweating. In fact, there is no need bring notice to any body part which he may be sweating from.

56. No man shall ever allow anyone to speak ill of The Simpsons or any Rocky movie. (Exception: Rocky V)

57. You have not made any mistake if you find that there are extra pieces after reassembling or assembling an object. In fact, you have just found a way to make that object more efficient.

58. There is never an occasion in which any shirt without buttons may be tucked in. (Exception: when you are participating in a organized sporting event)

59. Unless you are under the age of 11 or wearing a bathing suit,, DON'T wear whitey tighty's. It still escapes all reasoning as to why they even make them in adult sizes.

60. Any object thrown with reasonable speed and accuracy, MUST be caught.

61. No man shall ever keep track of, or count, the amount of beers he has had in a night.

62. Under no circumstances may two non-related men share a bed or anything which can be perceived as a mattress.

64. If you jiggle more than twice, your playing with it.

65. A man shall never help another man apply sun tan oil.

66. The guy who wants something the most is responsible for getting it.

67. If your friend says "Lick my nuts" as a way to put you down, don't try to be funny by saying "OK" and moving your head towards his crotch, two homosexual references in a row are just plain scary...

68. If you say ouch, you are a pussy!

69. It is the God given duty of every man to assist any other man that may be in need of assistance in obtaining every guys dream (threesome with two girls)

70. It is your duty as a heterosexual male to make your buddy aware of any thong sightings in the immediate surroundings, it is even permissable if the girl is butt ass ugly, hey nobody wants to go down alone.

71. There are only three times when its acceptable for a man to say "I love you" to any other man... 1. He's drunk 2. He's dying 3. He's in trouble and it's the only way out of it (which probably means he's drunk anyway)

72. At no time during a conversation with a buddy on instant messenger is either man allowed to send smiley faces to the other. This is simply too gay and it makes you look like a chick.

73. Under NO circumstances are two men allowed to ride together on one motorcycle/moped. (Exception - your ass better be on the way to the Hospital)

74. Never rent the movie "Chocolat" or "A Big Fat Greek Wedding" unless you know in advance that you will be getting at least oral sex in return from the chick you are renting it for. ( Sex is also required to happen)

75. If you are in the other room having monkey sex and you can be heard over the loud television and through a closed door, then every guy in the house is allowed to listen and laugh and use it against the other guy for black mail, extortion, etc. in the future

76. What happens in Montreal, stays in Montreal. Period. No questions asked.

77. It is acceptable to share a bed with another guy if and only if, it is a king-size bed and there are 2 blankets on the bed. The minute you touch in the slightest way, you are officially deemed a Homo.

78. If your buddy gets arrested and is going away to prison it is your duty to buy him soap on a rope.

79. It is perfectly acceptable to use a trashcan for a bong.

* with every set of laws, there are appropriate punishments. If any man shall happen to break any one of these codes, he will be found guilty, and will, for 24 hours from the time of the violation, be considered NOT A MAN. During this time he will not be referred to in any masculine way, and he shall bear the name Princess.

took me a year to read that but it has given me a greater insight to men now..

i always find that when i speak to a guy he always replies with a soft tone of voice... (generally this is bob that i'm talkin about) but then when another male enters the vicinty and starts to speak to the guy that i'm with, the voices turn deeper and alot of "yeah man" is exchanged, as opposed to the "sure hun"/"ok babe" responses that i receive

and I went in to the TeamSpeak server and fougth with a few guys.

Next thing I hear: "Hey Silent, in about 5 minutes a lady comes in, mind your language a bit alright?"

Was kind of funny :D

Hmmmm.
I broke that one! :p



That post is a load of Bullshit by the way.
It's sexist.
If your a man then you can do what you want. (Just like if you are a woman.)
Don't feel bullied by peer pressure.


it has given me a greater insight to men now..
It's is said that Men are the more curious of the Genders, because they do not like to talk about the way they feel, and they do not like to talk about *real* male issues.
We often hide behind things like this to avoid having to talk about the feelings of being a man.

Hmmmm, my gf always tells me i have NO feelings, so i tell her, "then there's no point in talking about them is there?"

Funny how women seem to enjoy tormenting us with the "weekly" emotions and feelings interrogation.

We men are simple, don't hold grudges for years and years about what a friend said to another friend about our new outfit, if there is a problem, we'll solve it without talking on the phone to all our friends for two days on end.

If we don't say anything, we're not thinking about how our relationship is going, we're probably just staring ahead of us, with a blank mind, it's called relaxation. (it's usualy then they start their emotional talk).

But it was pretty funny to read the list :-)

Benjie
15-06-04, 11:32
We men are simple
I'm not simple.
I'm like a man with constant PMT.
But then I prefere to do feminate things, and I'm attracted to other men. (aswell as women) I'm not a stereotype. I'm more of a stereo type mental illness patient that a stereotype Bi/Man etc. :p I have so many mood swings.

I don't care.
Codes like this are pathetic. Any real man will tell you that.

Ya, i think it was really meant as a joke email.... everyone has taken it seriously???

But ya, some is right, some is wrong.... noone has to stick to any sort of "gender role"... although society worked so much better when these roles were in the home... unfortunetaly, it was religion based and has gone to shit.

15-06-04, 11:44
Oh, you're talking about emancipation now?

Well, the thing is, a lot of women get emanciapation (same rights to do the same things) mixed up with (i HAVE to do the things a man does).

It's a fact women can do some things better than men and the other way around.

And i'm even afraid that women are better at more things than men.

But there *is* a gender role!

It's wrong, but there is a way that you are expected to act as a Man or as a Woman. (More so for men I think) If you don't abide by these gender roles, you become a label; be it Camp, butch, Tomboy, Transvestite, the list goes on.

The only way to fight it is to *not* abide by it, and to do what suits you. I personally have a thing for wearing girls socks. ^^ I hate man socks, there so white/black/boring. Girls socks have cool pink piccys, or individual toes. Much more fun!

If you have a thing against your hairy legs/Long Girly Hair... Shave it! Don't feel bullied by peer pressure. You have the right to do what makes you happy. The people who will laugh at you for it are both prisoners and there own wardens. Ignore and pitty them like I do.

Don't be a prisoner to Gender Role.

[EDIT]
Added pictures to outline my point.

1: My Socks
2: Some more socks
3: Habeeb!! I love you Habeeb!!! <3 (thats a yoga book on the left. V.good book)
4: A *very* dodgy picture of me that I took myself.

It is funny how as a guy you go into a restroom with lots of uranals and every guy will leave one open between them. If you go to one next to them they always look over to make sure you're not checking out their stuff .. lol.

Samhain
15-06-04, 12:13
while I don't find it offensive, I do find it sad that there's a huge portion of the males that live a life by these kind of rediculous 'codes'. the kind of guys that never shut up about "the game" and constantly drink beer, all that bullshit

Do you look at them if they stand next to you to see if they are checking you out?

I speak to people in the toilet while i am taking a piss, half the time it's in a club anyway and i am already well on my way to hugging the t-seat and you can't stand there silent if your mates there or something.

Personally i couldn't care less, i went in the toilet for a slash, not to check out blokes, so i will stand next to em if the space is free, rather that then piss myself.

And why do you find it sad samhain?
That's there lifestyle, they may hate yours and think it's sad, i know plenty of people who talk about the game, drink beer, but they ain't sad they ain't following no code, they just doing what they've been doing for years and enjoy doing.

That is why I posted it. I thought it was funny as all hell. I did not think someone would actually be pissed by this. If i offened someone by this please accept my apologies. And if you like PM me and i will have the thread closed. I did not want to piss anyone off with that post. Just thought it was funny with it's half truth.

Once again i'm sorry.

You didn't piss me off. Gender role is just something I feel strongly about.

Simply put, I was bullied at school into abiding by these rules.
For some people in some areas/social groups, these rules are very real indeed.

Well said Benjie.

Men say that women are total bitches once a month, argue about stupid things, talk on the phone for hours, bring up things from years ago, regularly go into in-depth conversations with you about their feelings when your busy owning some noob in UT2k4 or whatever. But the thing is, my current GF doesn't do any of these things, she doesn't get noticeably more irritable every month, she doesn't natter with her friends for hours, she doesnt complain if i gotta go check bash.org for the latest quotes (yes i actually did that once lol), etc etc. She's plenty feminine, but she just doesn't do many of the girly things we say are annoying.

The funny thing is, is that I miss it, I miss having my gf whine to me about her ex-bf/period pain/hair/make-up/friends problems i don't care about, i miss having a gf get pissed when i wanna play computer games, i miss her getting grouchy every month. I guess you kinda take some things for granted.

Hehe... that list is pretty funny.

There are about half, which most guys just do without thinking. Especially the Urinal Buffer Zone thing.

If you're offended... Chill. Its just a joke. :)

Though, I don't agree with the instant messenger one... Smileys can be manly. Sorry, felt a strange compulsion to put that in bold.

EDIT: Btw, RuButt... that is one sweet kilt dude. You ever seen 51st state?

i laughed my ass off. if you got offended pull the stick out your ass and realize its humor.

most of this crap is exagerrated to make ya crack a smile. none of this is real. its just an exagerration of how some homophobes act so we can have a laugh at it.

its not a crack at homosexuality, just hardcore male humor. if you didnt like it just say you didnt like it.

Your thread raises the subject of Gender Role; something which is discussable.
If it wasn't for that topic, this thread would be on the third page of the forums already. Besides, it's an interesting subject.

That's awesome, then could you say that you know everyone, because unless you do, then this comment was really pretty much useless, since I was talking about people who change themselves under pressure from peers or parents. If I say "I find it sad that some people commit suicide." and you say "Well, I know people that don't commit suicide!" what really have you added to the discussion of any relevance?
