5. We know "bros before hos" is euphemism that stand for mens' allegiance to friendship over women. However, the synecdoche "chicks before dicks" is not a fair equivalent. All men would say that have dicks; few women would say that they're hos. Also: How do men still get away with uttering this shit out loud?
1. The bro code was never intended to be shared with women ...because then we would look at the bro code, roll our eyes, rip it up, and make our bros take out the garbage. Because the bro code is dumb! It's idiotic! It was created for grown men who refer to each other as Broseph! Come on now.
2. Bros only believe in the bro code when it's convenient for bros. Bros say that they're not supposed to hook up with another bro's ex — but If the girl's hot, the bro code goes out the window faster than you can say "beer me."
3. Okay, this one is 100% true. Believe it or not, just like boys fighting over shotgun in a car, bros actually call dibs on the opportunity to talk to a woman first. How does this work? Well, all bros know how attractive they are compared to their friends. So if the less attractive bro calls dibs first, the more attractive bro will allow his unattractive friend to go make a move — knowing full well that his bro will fail, and in fact he will have been the patsy to a well-played wingman move the entire time.
4. The term was popularized by Barney Stinson on "How I Met Your Mother." You know, the scheming sex-addict character ironically played by (spoiler alert!) Neil Patrick Harris on that tv show? You can find a copy at your local bookstore — or you can even buy the audiobook!

6. All bro code rules unrelates to women seem to involve beer. This includes rules about not drinking the last beer, not letting their beer get warm, and grabbing a beer for their bro-friend when they get up to get their own beer. What bros don't understand is that there's nothing more unattractive to women than the bros in beer commercials who abide by these rules.
7. Outside of shunning the cock-block, the bro code doesn't really exist. Seriously, dudes these days can't even stick to the ten commandments, how in the hell do you expect them to pass up sex with some attractive woman his now-married friend dated eight years ago?
