A popular "code" among groups of guys who are friends is, "Bro's before Ho's". While I don't necessarily agree with the term, "Ho", I want to know what you think of this philosophy. Basically it means that you should always make your friends a priority over girls/ girlfriends. Alot of my friends use this term, yet never actually do it. The thing agree with is that you should never abandon your friends for a girl because there is no telling how long you will be with her. Also, your friends like you just the way you are and (usually) have no further interests than friendship. The thing I don't agree with is that after being with a girl a certain amount of time you are going to have to start putting her first if you want any kind of serious relationship, right? What do you think? Bro's before Ho's, or not?

It really depends....i feel that to a point bros before hoes....i mean...when i first started dating this girl, if my friends wanted to leave and my girlfriend wanted to stay...i would have to part with my loses...i wanted to go with my girlfriend but didnt wanna abandon my friends...so i went with my friends. But later in relationship...like much later...i would spend a lot of time with my girlfriend and less with my friends...my friends didnt mind at all...cause my friends are awsome and we are cool but we dont really depend on each other...we're pretty independant. i feel as long as you aren't dilibertly avoiding your friends and if you have plans with your girlfriend....you should be able to see her instead....but also in real life it depends on how serious the relationship is...if serious...girl first....thats the end of it....i mean...still be with your friends...but in real life....it aint like that...

Chicks before d*cks - that includes chick dudes as well. My mates are the people who pick me up off the floor between/during fellas and they've been there for me so much, there's no way I could drop them for a guy. When my ex got the house repossessed, it was my mates who put me up, When another ex was throwing stones at my window, it was my mates who came round and sorted it out. Plus, I've known my friends so much longer - my oldest friend I've known for 19 years - and in that time the men have come and gone, but the friends remain. There's nothing wrong with feeling that your husband is your best friend - sounds like you have a very close relationship. For me though, it has to be my friends :-)

There comes a time when yes, you do have to put a girlfriend before a friend if you want the relationship to progress. Doesn't mean you totally abandon your friends. But if its the difference between a fun outing or a relationship crisis, the relationship should come first. However, if there is a friend crisis and the relationship is ok, the friendship should come first.

I think it's all about balance. You cant always be putting your buddies before your gf, or your gf before your buddies. Sometimes your friends will need you more than your gf needs you around, or it will be ok to prioritize them over her coz guys have that whole male bonding thing going on, but other times she will need you to be there for her instead of being with the guys. Because you're right, to maintain any kind of serious relationship, she will expect to be ONE OF your priorities, not just an option. ANd while your friends have a lot to offer, so does a girlfriend, if you're with the right girl. So both your friends and your gf deserve equal amounts of attention.

you got a good point. it's a pack mentality. once you spend more time with your "girlfriend", you are now no longer a part of a pack. your prority has changed. that's just the fact. you can't be 21 forever. and "bros before ho's" are the mentality of the type of 40+ years old guys in the club.

It means dont stop talking to and hanging out with your friends when you have a girlfriend. Even if you hang out w/ your gf more than your friends, if you abandon them when you have a gf, no1 will be there for you when you break up. Just keep that in mind.

It works in High School. But after that you have to join reality. You don't really know how long your friends will still be your friends. But your love first.

Nice philiosophy.
Unfortunately you guys are men.
All it usually takes is a wink and a swing of the hips and, sorry, but your friend won't be able to remember Your name.

That's why they just have Ho's and not a lady, girl or woman. Men don't respect ho's and ho's don't demand respect.
