Girl Code?

So, there is this imaginary thing called girl code that apparently every girl was born into on account of having a vagina. Now maybe Im just being niggnorant but I never really delved into the specifics of girl code. But I after pondering and theorizing have come up with I believe may be some popular tenets.

The Myth of the Girl Code consists of the following:
1. Thou shalt not talk to anyone I thought at one point was attractive
2. Thou shalt not date anyone I was interested in dating
3. Thou shalt not date anyone I hooked up with regardless of whether or not I liked him
4. Thou shalt not date anyone I have had sex with, dated or was in love with

So, of course NO ONE wants anyone's sloppy seconds, but I have a problem with rule number 1, 2, and 3. Why do you ask? Because there are attractive people that more than one person on earth is going to find attractive. I hate when females "pee on their tree" "mark their territory" by simply stating "ooo, I like him"...So the fuck what!?!? Cause you're the first to say so, does not mean you're the only person thinking that the person is attractive. And im sorry as an adult we (you nor I) shouldnt be claiming people. Its so elementary school.

Here's one of my perspectives: If I dated someone, briefly, and it didnt work out, Im not gonna scold or chastise my friend if later on she and him click and they wanna date. Im not God and I dont know who will click with who. Who the heck am I to tell her or him that they are not afforded the same opportunity to see if they click that I was given. He and I DID NOT work out. I can let the isht go. Can you?

Now dont get me wrong, I would never mess with someone that my friend has slept with, or was in a serious relationship with but thats my own personal boundaries. Everyone is different. I rather "fresh meat." But I reserve the right to talk to whomever I feel like. Just cause a dude flirted with me and we exchanged numbers back in 1999 does not bar my homegirl from EVER talking to him. I dont feel the need to say dumb shit like "you're breaking girl code!" If I dont give a funk about him and if thats the person she thinks might make her happy then I say go for it.

Really the issue is that this dumb girl code nonsense is what causes females to backstab and lie to eachother over a man. It also breaks up friendships. If we keep it honest, open, and mature and stop trying to CONTROL other people then I have a slight suspicion that 75% of all this girl drama in this world will subside. Short of rule number 4, my general rule of thumb is dont cockblock and fall back.

IDK, what do you think?

  2. well said. Especially if dude was not feeling home girl like that and they did not hook up on a sexual level, they were just cool, then why can I not just be cool with dude too? Why does it have to be "oh, I was cool with him first so no you can't chill with him"?

    see that's why I don't have a lot of females in my circle it gets to caty. So JR High.
