The Girl Code

So we've all heard of the girl code (you know, the unbreakable laws which govern female society) but I've never seen that code writen. Therefore, I decided to write my own adaption! :D Enjoy!

Chicks before Dicks -

• Don't drop your friends for a guy. You NEED a life outside of your man, because there's a high chance that you'll need your friends more than your guy at one point or another.
• Girl's night is girl's night! - digitally talking to guys is unacceptable and unallowed.
• If you and your friend want the same guy, establish a dibs system and be willing to accept defeat if he doesn't choose you.
• Never, ever, EVVVAAAARRRR date a friend's ex. EVVVVVAAAAAARRRRRRR. However, were there mitigating circumstances such as true love, a standard 6 month waiting period is required,as well as your friend's permission, before you are allowed to make your move.
• Contrary to popular belief, you DON'T have to be wingman to your friend if you don't want to. However, it's generally a fun way to keep an eye on your friend's love life so you might want to anyway.

• In high school, you are allowed to date guys at a maximum of 1 year younger and 2 years older. The reverse is true for guys. Outside the limit by one year is potentially acceptable, but go outside that and your relationship is shunned by the entire girl community.
• You MUST notify your friends of your relationship status before you post it on facebook.
• It's better to have no date than the wrong one - don't settle for anything less than what you deserve.
• Pity dating is pitiful and leads to trouble. Not to mention your friends have to put up with the guy until you break up with him, so don't do it.
• You shouldn't paint a detailed picture of your love life with your words and share it with your friends. That's way TMI. You are required however to share a murky outline, as keeping such things to your self is infuriating.
• Obnoxous PDA is a no-no. This means anything sexual or any kissing that lasts longer than one second, as well as super close contact (i.e. sitting on each other's laps). It makes everyone uncomfortable and they will ask you to leave.
• Don't talk about how perfect and wonderful your boyfriend is unless people ask. Otherwise it sounds like bragging and annoys the heck out of people.

• Don't say anything that will hurt your friend's feelings unless it's for her own good.
• There are only two answers to "does this dress make me look fat?" and they are "what? no!" and "it's the dress"
• Acknowledge when your girlfriends are embarassed by you. Apologize and desist accordingly.
• Any time a friend helps you through a hard time, pay them back - this can be by supporting them through THEIR hard time, treating them to a mocha, whatever.
• DO NOT smack down any of your friends behind their back. This is what diaries are for - if you don't have anything nice to say, say it to someone who doesn't have ears or a mouth.
• If you hear anyone badmouthing your friend, it is your obligation to stand up for them. Also, out of respect for their self-esteem it is not reccommended to tell your friend about the gossip unless it is very harmful and potentially bad for their reputation.
• DO. NOT. SPREAD. FALSE. RUMORS. Also, even if they are meant as a joke, it is still unacceptable and punishable by social pariah-ism.
• Anything borrowed should be returned within the month with interest.
• Mean girls are losers - and nothing on this earth requires you to put up with that.
• Volume control! You wouldn't believe how often talking too loud ruins friendships.
• Keep secrets until the grave. Breaking this sacred rule will result in instant antagonization.
• If a friend asks for a tampon you are required to do what it takes to get them one, even if you don't have one. Friends don't let their friends go tamponless.
• Pointing out your friend's flaws is not okay.

• There is NO EXCUSE for matching sweatsuits.
• Before any major event such as prom, you need to consult with your friends about your outfit and how to not clash with theirs (i.e. wearing the same thing, wearing bright orange when everyone else is wearing white, etc.).
• Sweatpants may only be worn once a week, if at all.
• In most girl communities, you can't wear the same shirt twice in a week.
• Don't buy matching clothes with ANYONE unless it's part of some joke or a uniform.
• Acknowledge your age - don't dress above it or below it.
