Over in the Tyra Show Community, Rebecca found a list that she wanted to share. It's a "Man Code" and it's chock-full of goodies like:

Thou shall not rent the movie Chocolate. The universal compensation for buddies who help you move is beer. A man must never own a cat or like his girlfriend's cat.

Crazy, right? So what about you? Do you have your own code?

Tell Us: Do you help a friend no matter what? Are you saving up a dollar a day for your dream house? Do you refuse to date people who wear the color orange? What's your own personal code?
