*Facepalm* I cant believe i know you

[Hellz_Barz]

I'd like to make two examples, one like the OP wants... I know guy A and guy B. I can't believe i know guy A who actually said, "i can't believe guy B is dating my ex.(of over a year broken up and 9 months out of communication). He should have asked me first."

I shit you not.

Eh I'm with guy A, its part of the bro code, if hes your friend you ask.

...Are you kidding me? You think you have some kind of right to your ex? That you have some kind of say whether or not a guy can date her? News flash. You don't own her. You don't have any stock in her life, let alone any amount of controlling stock.

Most of what i've heard about the "bro code" seems like childish rubbish invented by teens to satiate their puberty driven jealousy created by their scorned attempts at relationships based on sexual urges.

Learn to control your dicks gentlemen, and you'll learn to control your dick-headedness.

you'd usually ask your friend not because he has rights to the girl or cause he deserves some control over her, you ask to be respectful. For instance your friend might hate his ex and would disapprove because he thinks shes a total ***** and perhaps would have liked to talked him out of it. Or hes just jealous or something.

So we are something that you need a permission slip for?
Excuse me but we can choose who we go out with regardless of who we went out with before.

Umm if you had read the rest of the posts you might have understand

Same thing could be said about a supposed "friend" who has to date his friends ex.

The minds ability to distort is quite fascinating. Sure, under those conditions i'd say dating Lucy Fur would be a dick move from your friend. So let me distort a situation the other way and see what happens.

Perhaps you and the girl just don't get along, people rub us the wrong way seemingly without cause. It happens. Now suppose she breaks up with you and wants a relationship with your friend, whom she gets along with like kiwi's and smiles. Should a past failure really hinder their opportunity at happiness? Definitely not.

As i've said, i haven't read the Bro's Code, but i don't think it should be a "code" or "rule". maybe it should be like a suggestion. "try and be quasi-sensitive about these sorts of things eh? You're just amateur kids after all."

I mostly think that way because I had a "friend" try that a month after me I had broken up with this girl(dated you year, worst break up I have ever had). ended up him with a broken nose and me with a headache(yea I headbutted him before thinking about it).

Ha haha ahahhahaaahhaaahaaha. No more bro chillin with him after that i'm guessing?
No matter. Blame it on evolution. Male rutting is wide spread in the animal kingdom.

lol nope not really, only thing thats good that came out of that was she cheated on him, tried to with me but i told the ***** i never wanted to see her again

Actually it depends on whose fault the break up was. If it was the guys fault. You dont need to ask. If it was her fault, you should ask him just to be respectful, like you put it.If he says no, then the 'Bros before hos' code kicks in.

wait... what?! you hae to be joking!

 

[Win Laik Pya]

wait... what?! you hae to be joking!

Crazy story: he was gay and had a boyfriend and was a furry (still is i think).

So then my girlfriend kinda-sorta-not-really-cheated on me with her and they started going out.

Whatever. I didn't blame him really, she was kind of a ***** and is kind of a whore. Though he did break the ever-sacred "bros before hoes" pact that all men hold true.

The reason we aren't close anymore is because he moves around a lot. heh. Not that we were ever that close.

Regardless, i'm cool with whatever people are into, but furry stuff? Yeah that's pretty gross man.

EDIT: ITS NOT HYPOCRITICAL IF IT'S JAPANESE PORN. ANYTHING GOES WHEN FAPPING.

well regardless of who was at fault, if it was me id at least make my intentions clear to see how my friends felt about it.

and also i forgot about the topic at hand

OT: My Friend since pre-birth(cause our mums were friends) ounce told me " I feel sorry for guys with huge D****"

also one time me and this friend were walking from one drinking session to another through a park. he was on his way to getting pretty plastered and i was tipsy and the hot chick of our neighbourhood was practicing soccer in this park. as we were walking by he says" hey you know who'd id like to F*** right now?" yells out said girl's name who was well within ear shot of the entire comment.

Well, that's how you generally test a statement or arguments validity after all. Twist it, distort it and put it through every concievable (but reasonable) situation that it might be applicable to and just see how it hold up. If it doesn't then the argument or statement in question is most certainly invalid or hypocritical. If it holds, then it's something one can safely agree with.

Perhaps you and the girl just don't get along, people rub us the wrong way seemingly without cause. It happens. Now suppose she breaks up with you and wants a relationship with your friend, whom she gets along with like kiwi's and smiles. Should a past failure really hinder their opportunity at happiness? Definitely not.

So you don't get along with a person at all, but still decide to date and become an item with that person? :S

Sorry mate, but I can't really relate to that type of situation. I don't get together with women I don't like (or who just clearly dislike me for some inexplicable reason). And even if I were to be daft enough to actually attempt it I would most likely be the first to admit that it's my own damn fault for not showing better judgement than to get together with her in the first place, and in that situation I'd be happy for the sake of my mate if he and she manage to become a happy couple. Who knows? Perhaps her inexplicable *****-attitude towards me might subside because of it?

Of course, im not gonna stand for him becoming completely whipped by her and then refuse to socialize with me just because she doesn't want him to (not an entirely unlikely scenario if we're talking about inexplicble animosity here after all). But him being happy with a girl who I might have dated before and the relationship between her and me was basically doomed to begin with due to that wierd animosity is by far a lot more acceptable than the type of situation I brought up.

So it's still not really about controlling who your ex is dating, but rather a case of friends being loyal and respectful towards friends. Loyalty and respect means asking and basically checking out what happened between a friend and his ex, and saying that you might have a thing for that ex but that you won't pursue it if it means making your friend uncomfortable, and especially not if the relationship ended due to her being an utter **** towards your friend. There's an addage that goes: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend", it can also reasonably be said that "The enemy of my friend is my enemy too" in most cases. And if a friend can't grasp that concept, then that person isn't much of a friend now is he?

As i've said, i haven't read the Bro's Code, but i don't think it should be a "code" or "rule". maybe it should be like a suggestion. "try and be quasi-sensitive about these sorts of things eh? You're just amateur kids after all."

Not all of us on this messageboard are amateur kids, just so you know. Also I can't say I've actually read the "Bro's code" either, im just saying that in this particular instance I can definetly see the reasonability of how to act as a friend/bro in relation to a friend/bro's ex. And also to illustrate that it's not really about controlling who the ex is dating, but more of you being loyal to your friends and your friends being loyal to you. Because that's what friends are supposed to be doing.

I have a friend who don't know when to shut up. He has a tendese to talk a bit to much and I have to make sure that he thinks BEFORE he say annything. It's really annoying...

 

[Fire Daemon]

I can't think of any real stand out ones, there are a couple but I didn't think to facepalm, I'm rather understanding and patient with my friends. I remember once that a friend of mine revealed that he watched all of a pirated District 9 without the alien subtitles and said that it was kind of hard to understand what was going on. I still can't believe he didn't figure out something was wrong early on but maybe it would have made some of the scenes more interesting, maybe.

I'd like to make two examples, one like the OP wants... I know guy A and guy B. I can't believe i know guy A who actually said, "i can't believe guy B is dating my ex.(of over a year broken up and 9 months out of communication). He should have asked me first."

I've got to kind of agree with your friend, Guy A. While he shouldn't control her or your friends life by saying who they can or cannot date, it's rude for a friend to date another friends ex, especially if there are complications between the friend and the ex. Say that they broke up on shaky grounds, the friend still has feelings for the ex or they just plain hate each others guts, whatever, by Guy B going out with the ex Guy B is giving Guy A an ultimatum stop being my friend or put up with this person who you hate (or still love which would be worse).

A good friend wouldn't want to put another friend in that position, they would stay clear of dating her or ask how Guy A feels about the situation early on. It's really just putting your friends feelings ahead of your own and looking after the friendship. A good friend will also do the reverse and try to get over whatever problem there might be for the other friend to be happy with the ex but sometimes this might be impossible. That's why it's a good idea to talk about it carmly.

Well Canadian's do come down here apparently to get health care, but Swine Flu was just a media story blown out of proportion, and infection has nothing to do with health care. Facepalming was appropriate, but not talking to him again is a bit harsh. And unnecessary.

I was pretty sure my own country (Australia) had the best healthcare.

Wow.. well if i were you, i'd stay away..

Don't want to stay round his house one night only to find your tied to the bed in the morning..

My father's girlfriend has a son who has ADHD and a severe case of idiocy. At one point when he was 13/14 he called home and said that people were threatening to beat him up and that he needed to get picked up. The girlfriend lacks a car or even a license, so my dad comes in to my room and asks me to come with him in case things get ugly (the little brat hangs with junkies).
Anyway, we take the car and arrive at the scene, upon which we see shitforbrains walking toward the car carrying one large plastic bag in each hand. As he gets closer, we see that he's carrying two cases of beer.
Now, to summarize, he was bummed about having to carry home the heavy illegal beer, so he thought up an excuse to get picked up but didn't consider that two fucking cases of beer was something my father might notice, and thought that my father wouldn't tell his mother anything about it.

That was the biggest facepalm moment of my life.

Eh I'm with guy A, its part of the bro code, if hes your friend you ask.

ARGH!

Don't call loyalty "the bro code", and don't claim that he has anything to say about a woman he broke up with a year ago and hasn't talked to for nine months. It simply isn't his fucking business anymore.

My friend laughed for half an hour when my sports teacher said "We have to steal each others balls"

I laughed out loud, am i immature now?

Well I laughed now too so we are both inmatures.

OT:Well I guess I could be one of those guys.. if i wanted to.
But yes i have friends that can`t stop taking shit.
