I committed a massive "guy-code" violation.
I got a facebook message from this great woman my buddy used to use for sex (No point tap-dancing.) She was such a sweet girl and I always told him he was being a fucking idiot. So, I got a message from her today asking a question about something related to my field and she asked if I remembered her.

I wrote, "Of course I remember you. You're that charming, cute, well mannered girl Josh used to go around with. I always told him he was an idiot for not treating you more seriously. How've you been?"

She's with some other dude now and doesn't speak to him. I remember when he told me, he actually had the gall to look for sympathy from me. Pretty sad, really.

I don't feel bad, I've seen him pull stupid crap I stopped doing when I was 18.

A friend of Little MB's dad (we have been divorced for 7 years and I have been remarried and again separated since then) chats with me.

2. He violated the rules first.
Therefore, he does not get the protection of the guy code.

17. That was nice of you!
Now if only that kind of thing were the typical "guy-code". Maybe it is, actually. My ex's friends still tell me he messed up a good thing. I know it already, bit it's nice to hear from his friends. Especially when I know they aren't saying it to get in my pants. They all live 2000+ miles away, so I am assuming it's not to get in my pants at any rate. Who knows with guys.

6. I'm not really seeing the violation here. You didn't prevent another guy from
getting laid, or get someone in trouble with his partner/family, or cause problems with his job. Outside of those situations, I believe that calling a douchebag a douchebag is permitted under the code...

7. Well, I may have approached it differently but I am a gal.
I think you could've said all that minus the not treating her seriously part. But I also wouldn't consider it a big deal either.

8. fuck "guy-code"
Real men don't need a team, ie: guys vs gals. There can't be a "code" if you treat women as equals instead of others.

11. Aw, never mind the "guy-code" nonsense
You responded very nicely to a young lady who you acknowledge was rather callously used by a friend. Good for her that she's moved on and here's wishing her well in her new relationship. I'm of the female persuasion and I say "no biggie, dude".

Fuck the "guy code" if you can't rag on a dude who's being a dick to a victim of his dickish ways.

19. The "guy code" exists to protect douchebags.
Not worth keeping, IMO.

20. If you wrote this with the intent of getting into her pants it's not a violation.
Harsh...but I didn't write the rules.

Someone call the Commissioner! History has been made here!

28. Yeah
I hope you are just setting things up to sex her in the future. If not, why bother making nice nice with your boys ex-girl? If your boy was "using"(as if she wasn't doing the same thing to him?) her for sex, then she is probably being used by the next guy. Some guys need to get off this 1950's mentality of the virtious woman and the evil man when it comes to sexual relationships. She probably thought your words were cute, but you might have put yourself in the "friends zone" which means it will be a hurdle to try and sex her. Good luck with that!

29. considering she has a BF, I don't care
Edited on Sat Dec-13-08 03:06 PM by HEyHEY
I can get laid easily enough without having to take advantage of my friend's ex-non-girlfriend. She was a sweet girl who deserved better. She was a 25-year-old virgin til him, then he just treated her like shit. The reason she likely remained celebit was hearing stories about guys like him.
