    In this episode, host Elle dives deep into a hot topic - the ethics of girl code, friendship boundaries, and women’s misplaced anger. She uses a recent TikTok drama as a case study to discuss the implications of breaking girl code by showing interest in a friend’s partner. Elle also highlights the importance of genuine female friendships and how they should never be jeopardized for a romantic relationship. She discusses the cultural shift in social norms and the consequences of an “anything goes” culture. Additionally, she provides insight into the role men play in such scenarios and emphasizes the need to hold them accountable for disrespecting boundaries. The episode ends with a firm reminder to women about their worth and the importance of maintaining their peace.

As much as you trust her judgement, you don’t feel the need to meet him. You’re glad she’s happy, and that happiness can be kept sacred between her and him. That’s totally healthy. You love your bestie and love having girl time with her. If she doesn’t get it :/ might have to distance yourself sadly :( because then she’s letting her mans get between you two. We don’t want that

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@AdriannaMindfreak16 my ex bsf would do this a lot, despite knowing her good intentions of me wanting to be friends with her bf and hanging out together. It was never going to work anyway because of my own feelings and insecurity, I just felt like I was missing out on youthful and milestone experiences of what was and is still is expected of some teenagers. I would never get why she would want to push me to the idea of the three of us hanging out cause THE IDEA felt so wrong. Cause I also knew my feelings towards her bf and I felt like I just didn’t need more of this hatred or jealousy to uprise into wanting, needing a bf because I felt soo left out. It felt as if I could not relate to her anymore because whatever came out of her mouth would be ironic.
      I don’t know why but I have also had this fear- not only breaking up the friendship but that my friend would disagree of me just existing and her bf would too. I kid you not I was actually scared of breaking up my friendship even before she had a bf, when her bf came into the picture it was like now I can’t say certain things cause they will take each others side and now Who The Fuck Am I Left with. Like there is no one to back my opinions, thoughts and feelings when these fuckers gang up. There was also feelings of embarrassment and regret to losing my friend to like I just want to talk, BUT YOU DONT HAVE TO BRING UR BF INTO IT. I know people want others to take their sides but really it’ is just biased. Like wat BF for once actually doesn’t have a biased opinion and agrees with the friend and is not accusing the bf of cheating and a friend’s loyalty. I had conflicts between myself due to leaving the friendship to because “if I were to leave my friendship, her bf is going to think I am a bitch and she will too bc she doesn’t understand my own insecurities and self esteem issues I have when it comes to being single” and there is this other side of regret of leaving my friendship/ friend group where “if I don’t leave now it’s going to get worse for me cause I’m drowning myself into people pleasing her to maintain the relationship we have of each other and her bf is not going to know where I coming from, as if they don’t know where I’m coming from because if I have been left out in other friend groups and this weird relationship we have with each other. This dynamic is weird, I should leave”

I didn't realize how much they noticed things like that until I started wearing my favorite ring, and they would actually say it out loud. I get questions and comments like: "How long have you been married?" "That's a big wedding ring." "So what does your husband do?" I'm not married yet, but I love responding to that last one with a quick: "Me, that's what" 😏

    Girl #2 is giving, 'It's-not-that-big-of-a-deal' when she's clearly disrespecting boundaries, I will never be on her side.

      They always say they're not doing anything wrong when in reality, she doesn't even have to come onto her man. But she's definitely trying to give him the idea that SHE IS AVAILABLE if they break up, go through some trouble in their relationship, etc and that's tea nobody wants to really think about.
      Edit: Because I bet you she never asked her if she could add him to her close story to begin with.

      Girl #1 is male centered though, just as girl #2. They're just on different sides of the male centered spectrum.
      One the boyfriend in question is his own person, with a brain and two eyes. He is responsible for setting boundaries with other women...not girl #1. Girl #1 need to learn some self respect and ditch the man too, instead of only blaming girl #2, because girl #2 couldn't get away with behavior if the bf didn't allow it.
      Girl #2 is clearly male centered, she loves instigate drama to then play "not like other girls". She craves male attention, and enjoys feeling superior to other women.
      Both girls are wrong for different reasons.
      I am married, one thing I don't worry about is who or where my husband is. If he's dumb enough to cheat that's his fault, not mine, I would be losing nothing but my time in such a scandal.

      you know what, good point☝🏼 I agree especially with the last paragraph. As someone in my late twenties (nearing 30) worrying about where my partner is at or who with, should be the furthest thing from my mind, because they (partner) are expected to have the required self awareness and rebuff advances.
      At these girls ages though (early twenties I assume), I would expect this level of conflict from them, because they're still fresh in the world-of-adulthood.

He claimed he didn’t want to date me anymore because he wanted to get himself together mentally. A few months later he started dating her. I’ve already seen her cheating young over him and sending paragraphs explaining herself to him…same thing I was doing the entire time I was with him…..I feel betrayed, however, I am not surprised. As women, we KNOW when a girl is being a pick me towards our boyfriends. Our intuition does not lie. Lean into that and don’t feel sorry for these men!!!!!

    I’m a former model that dated and was engaged to male models. Almost every single female, young and old, would try me (and my man). One particular girl was an old group friend from HS. She would always lurk on the fringes and the second my man stepped away to, say, go to the bathroom or run to the bar to get us drinks, she would corner him, alone! I would tell him to watch out for this girl but he was like “baby, she has nothing on you, we’re all friends. We’ve known her since HS” and I would say “of course she has nothing on me and we were friends since HS but she has been lusting after you since HS and is trying to come after a HS friend’s fiancé. That’s not ok. She’s disrespecting ME and our relationship.”…
    He would laugh it off, reassure me and brush it under the rug. I’m not the jealous type, he knows that so if I’m bringing up that something isn’t right was a female, he needs to move different. Either step back from said female, cut her off or remove her access to him. But he didn’t. He would chuckle, reassure me the like 3 times I mentioned it and then brush it off. All while I see her blatantly disrespecting me and creeping on my fiancé.
    No problem! I dumped him and obviously cut her off completely and told mutualism she was always trying to roll up and steal my man. Well, now see can have him cuz I’m done- oh, wait, she still doesn’t have a shot! 🙄 My ex-fiancé would crawl back whining and crying about I’m the best thing he ever has (for YEARS after I dumped him) and how this HS old friend did indeed shot her shoot but he “never saw it coming (?!?)” and saying that I was right and he never should have doubted me. Oh well! Too late!
    You don’t get to keep clowning me and brushing my concerns under the table while a woman blatantly disrespects your fiancé! No, no! It doesn’t matter if “you don’t see it”! The fact is that YOU FIANCÉ does! Her feelings are valid and girls can pick up on girls’ shit. Recognize it. And treat it seriously. Make moves to remove yourself and protect you woman and your relationship. Period. Because that’s what real men do.
    Any man who laughs off your concerns or ENTERTAINS OTHER WOMEN’S ATTENTION is “the co-villain” and needs a serious convo. If after that convo he doesn’t adjust his behaviour, DUMP HIM! He’s trash and welcoming of this drama. He loves the attention and feeling women are fighting over him. He’s in his divine feminine era. 🤮 Kick him to the curb.
    I had been blocking my ex fiancé but he’d pop up and mutuals’ events or slide in my DMs via mutual contacts on social media, etc, etc. I had to drop a lot of people who would allow him to still have access to me. No problem. The trash was helping me take itself out. I learned valuable life lessons from this and really saw who my true friends were.
    A real man and real partner wouldn’t put you in a situation like that. He would have told her to talk to you and removed access to himself. He would have suggested you (Kelly) give your sweater to the friend (Joanna) and he would have given you his hoodie (Kelly). The only person wearing his hoodie and posting in it for weeks would have been you (Kelly)!
    He would have removed himself from the “close friends” list because she can communicate to him via you (Kelly), no need for that especially if he caught wind of any thirst/attention traps 🪤. He should have asked if Joanna had also brought Kelly a sandwich because Kelly helped with the TV too.
    He should have told Kelly about it immediately and asked Kelly to pick up the sandwich and eat half with him. But he didn’t because he loves the attention and the drama.
    Avoid males like this at all cost. They are catty females in what’s supposed to be men’s bodies. They think they are the prize and love all the female attention.
    They will always disregard your feelings, gaslight you and downplay the issue while eating up all the attention. They are toxic AF and will never have your back. You can’t trust them.
    I only date very attractive men, so I know that females like this will be throwing themselves at my man but I sit back and watch how he behaves. If he doesn’t shut it down, I get rid of him- and cut off any female “friends” that tried it because they weren’t real friends to begin with.
    My life is so much less drama because of it and I know who my real friends are. 👏

Wouldn't you know one of the little town Joanna's starte trying to not only flirt with my man but tried to get him to leave with her while i was in the bathroom. I found out because when i came out, he had moved and looked very uncomfortable. I asked what was wrong and he brushed it off, saying he was ok. Then a friend tells me what happened. I asked him why he didn't tell me and he said, "because she's trying to ruin your night and i wasn't about to let that happen". Eric was a sweet man. Unfortunately, drugs. RIP.

      People can not be stolen this but they can definitely be seduced even if they were not initially attracted. I know a woman who was really beautiful and had an average looking shy girl friend. Because the shy girl didn’t have many friend, the married woman decided to bring her along any time she went out with her husband. In the beginning the husband wasn’t thrilled at all and had to be persuaded by his wife to accept her company. Well, that same, average looking, shy girl who didn’t have many friends managed to seduce the husband and break up the marriage.

      I don’t fully agree with this. One of my best friend groups we had a lot of couples & we were all good friends with each other’s significant other & had our own relationships with each other & there was nothing sneaky or negative about it. I think what this convo hasn’t covered is when you have real friends you can trust you don’t need to worry about that. I’ve loved my girlfriends being close to my boyfriends & having their own relationship. I definitely get there are boundaries but just saying your friend can’t ever have a personal relationship with your significant other is just really immature to me. In this particular story I get the suspicion to some degree. I do agree with her that she should’ve gotten food for both of them & I would’ve done that bc it’s like “you had your boyfriend help me so you helped me too.” type thing.

      I don’t really think it got to the point where there was a real “overt” advance to decline. And that’s why Joanna did this the way she did. With these types of women , they do a lot of seemingly innocuous things that in isolation look like nothing, but in totality paint a different picture. She would do enough to make an advance , but have a dash of plausible deniability. (For example: She added the guy to her “close friends “ list , but she presents the defense that “Kelly is on my close friends list too!”) Then she gaslights the girl once she is suspicious. The next step is making everyone one else believe that the other girl is crazy and jealous and eventually get the guy to believe that as well.

    As a girl that unfortunately grew up with boys, it took me a long time to give up on friendships with men and built friendships with women. It was always very easy for me to talk to boys/men and I realised my efforts to make someone feel welcome were often misconstrued by other girls, even though I have never done anything with a taken man. It made me so stressed out I just started borderline ignoring them and I almost never see or talk to the men my friends date/are married to now. And even in my most stubborn delulu era of men are just people, you can be friends with whomever, it doesnt mean anything dont be weird, I cant imagine acting like this girl described.
    However, in the grander scheme of things, that "friend" did her a favor of revealing what kind of man shes dating. He couldve handled things VERY differently and he choose to do this. Yeet that man. I was never angry at girls that tried to hit on my partner, it gave me a nice window of seeing how this man handles himself and how he treats women.

      Men are in fact just people, and you can be friends with whoever you want. Those are not false much less delusional statements. Mature people understand that boundaries are important and not all friends are treated the same.
      If you don't know how to maintain healthy social boundaries, and believe all your friends regardless of gender and relationship status should be treated exactly the same...then yes, you will have problems.
      My husband and I share the same friend group, majority of them are men. We're an online group of older gamers, and even in such a setting I don't hangout with any of the men alone. Most of our irl friends are also married and I spend more time with the wives... doesn't mean I'm not friends with the husbands, as I tend to have more "masculine interests" I just treat them differently, and have strict boundaries.
      Heck my girlfriends know my husband comes first, I don't care who I offend with the boundary of putting his comfort first. So no girls night out, or girls trip etc.

    Also…the hoodie. If Joanna borrowed the hoodie when Kelly and her unnamed bf were not dating and during those two weeks Kelly and bf started dating, why couldn’t Joanna just give Kelly the hoodie? They literally live together. Kelly and her boyfriend, who I’m guessing visited often, could have easily asked for it back at any point. But I’m guessing that Kelly and her bf didn’t want to make a big deal out of it by demanding it back, assuming Joanna would give it back especially now that the two became an item. But then Joanna kept wearing it and posting pictures in it and said she kept it because she’s “bad at giving back hoodies and it’s cute.” Girl, what? I think she was just waiting for either…1) Kelly to get fed up with Joanna constantly posting in the hoodie and not returning it on her own accord. This allows Kelly to look like a pyscho for making a big deal out of “just a hoodie” in such a new relationship. This discredits Kelly and possibly makes her look bad with her new bf, and maybe in Joanna’s mind it makes her look comparatively better. 2) An opportunity for the guy to reach out to Joanna. Joanna borrowed the jacket the night they all met and became friends, before Kelly and her bf started dating. This gave Joanna an opportunity to naturally speak with and connect with the guy if Kelly and him did not click, without making it seem obvious to either the guy or Kelly that she was into him too. Even after they started dating, Joanna still did not return the hoodie. Why? Not because she didn’t forget, but because it still gave her OR HIM an opportunity to speak to him on the DL starting off the convo with returning the jacket.
    This is just a guess, it wasn’t clear if the hoodie was acquired that same night or another night after Kelly and bf started dating - who knows for sure what really happened. But this is why you should NEVER ask your girl friends to get a guy for you. 1. Those guys ain’t shit. You want someone who wants to put in the effort to get to know you. You’ll be stuck initiating everything important with guys like these. 2. Girls who talk to a guy for their friends are not as kind-hearted as they appear.
    Crappy boyfriend. Crappy friend. Kelly can do better.

      I just assumed they both did ask for it back but she kept coming up with excuses to not give it back and he maybe thought it'd be easier for the GF to get it back. I don't wanna assume the guy did wrong bc I haven't heard every single detail of this conflict to know how involved he got. From what I heard they both met him at the same time when he was single so adding them both on social media isn't a big deal and I think it's only weird if he still hasn't blocked the old friend. I feel like the only thing I could side eye him about is the hoodie but if they were at his place and she was cold I don't think he saw it something would turn out to be a big deal and was probably just trying to be nice to the friend of the girl he liked. I think it was an awkward situation the old friend tried to put him in where he is trying to make a good impression on the main girl by seeming like a gentleman but the old friend tried to take advantage and swoon him over to her. Which obviously didn't work bc I haven't heard of him doing anything that should've made the old friend think he liked her. At some point men realize they want a real relationship and not just flings and when they find a girl that they want to settle down with will treat them with love and respect so as long as he wasn't playing into the weird behavior at all I don't think ppl have a reason to look down on him.

    There are people saying that girl code is mate guarding, and that people who agree with Kelly are insecure, but y’all need to remember something. Most of these relationships are to eventuate in marriage, and Marriage is primarily to ensure that children are raised by two parents as to ensure a stable upbringing. In which the man should provide materials and protect. Yes, you want to save the provision from a good man for your children and you are not wrong for that.

    The eyes always give a person away. The first girl has really kind eyes, she is a nice person. The second girl has dead eyes. She is dead inside, a psychopath. People like that always want to see how far they can go, what they can get away with. They want to gain this knowledge to know to which extent each person can be manipulated. Also, they live in hell and want to drag you to hell with them. The second girl cannot stand seeing the first girl happy and fulfilled, because she herself can never be, and becomes very manipulative as a result. To downplay the manipulation, the gaslighting starts.

    When I met my ex ten years ago he introduced me to his friends, two of them were very attractive women and one of them clearly there was mutual attraction between her and my now ex. Me and her hit it off and got really close, the closer we got the more distance she put between herself and him. So I only knew this girl for a few months and she chose our relationship over her getting to sleep with a cute boy so it is amazing to me that someone who considered themselves close friends would do that type of stuff. That being said had that old friend had hooked up with him she would have left two months in. I made it ten years. I think he also knew that which is why he never made moves either because if I'm honest she was better looking than me. Idk why I'm sharing. It's show and tell I guess

    It's always girl vs girl. The guy should also put up boundaries. He gave her the hoodie, he showed up to get the sandwich, he helped her move. Sounds like he was low-key reciprocating whatever flirting she was doing. I doubt she would have done as much as she was doing if he shut her down but he's laying back unscathed probably enjoying the girls fighting over him.

    • @jayceyallen7745
      @jayceyallen7745 Před 6 měsíci

      Idk I think it depends on the specifics, he gave her the hoodie in the begging of knowing both girls when he was single and may have not expected it to turn into something so serious. And every other time he saw the old friend he brought the current gf with him. So he knew to never be alone with her. I don't think he did anything to make the old friend think he was into her but she probably thought he wasn't dedicated enough to the main girl that she could easily convince him to choose her. He must have been pretty sure about his decision on which girl he liked bc there's really no instance of him going back and forth with the girls. Ppl keep saying he let them fight over him but I don't think there was anything he could've said or done to make that girl stop the weird behavior so he made sure not to contact her or be alone with her. For at least good few weeks the two girls were still friends while he was getting to know the main girl so he may have been trying to not seem rude in front of the girl he was pursuing. If the main girl was blind to her friends behavior and he made the wrong move it could've made the main girl think he was a bad guy, esp with the old friend trying to manipulate the situation in her favor. I feel like there's not enough info about things from his perspective to judge him negatively.

    I don't know if it's out of naïveté for the "ghostee" but this happened to me when I was in college... one day a friend told me laughing that her boyfriend thought I was hitting on him because I always greeting him with a smile (I was seen as distant and "snobby" ), I was floored. My friend was reassuring and she told him that I was just "acting normally" because I knew he was her boyfriend and I'm very warm with people I know. Since then, I decided to never talk or even greet "normally" someone's boyfriend or husband, I've learned my lesson.
    Another case was with a male friend, I noticed his girlfriend became cold when I was around so I decided not to hang out with them, cold turkey, without even talking to them. When my (male) friend made the remark, I told him, listen I'll hang out when she's not around, she's clearly not comfortable with me around. he solved that issue with her without my knowing until a few weeks later, she was the one who told me to come, as she has seen that he asked the other time and I was like "nah, I have something else to do".

      I mean, if he’s her boyfriend he SHOULD choose her before you. No questions asked. If you were uncomfortable with your partner having a female friend, you have all the right to ask him to distance himself from her. If he doesn’t want to give her up, there’s something going on (not necessarily romantically) and it’s time to run. A man who doesn’t have his priorities straight is not dependable. I don’t know if you watched Elle’s video about female/male friendships, but I highly recommend it.

    She knew what she was doing, and a man that can be “stolen” isn’t worth it. A lot of men will take just general politeness from women as flirting which is something I learned a lot later than I would like to admit.
    I eventually did learn to ignore my friends’ boyfriends. I used to try to make my friends’ boyfriends feel included in our group by trying to find ways to include them in our conversations when we would all hangout. This was apparently the worst thing I could do because I had two of my friends’ boyfriends (now exes) try to message me on messenger with those dreaded “hey” messages. I instantly blocked them because eww. The gay men in our group told me that guy friends aren’t usually that nice to each other and take polite behavior as flirting. They also told me it wasn’t my responsibility to make grown men feel included. They should be making that effort themselves. That was an eye opening conversation for me. I hadn’t even realized how much I was catering to men before. 🤦‍♀️

    One thing not mentioned was that she approached the guy at the bar for the eventual GF. NEVER approach a man on behalf of a friend. Would love a video on that from you. Either approach yourself or wait for the man to approach. But there is a classy way to be a wingman or wing woman and that is childish.
    I think they weren't dating at the time she added everyone. Which- okay. The hoodie thing speaks to not respecting boundaries and using it as leverage to gain a message from him. It's impolite to use a thing you've borrowed for more than it's initial use. I have a coffee mug that I borrowed from a friend of mine who made me a cup in exchange for a favor- and It's washed and waiting to return to her. I DONT use it.
    Then by the time she got a sandwich from a fancy bakery they were together and that's the real over the line moment. But the gf knew the Vibes before that and knew this girl was circling like a shark in the water before she made the move.

Girl 2 didn't just cross her friend's boundaries, but she disrespected Girl 1 relationship. She said they mounted the TV together, and getting the sandwich showed her gratitude. If I was her, I would've gotten two sandwiches. Last point: when she said she didn't return the borrowed hoodie, tells me she was an irresponsible person. She uses this as an excuse because she is forgetful and doesn't take accountability for her own actions. It's not just borrowing Girl 1 boyfriend's hoodie. Girl 2 disrespected the boyfriend too. It's his hoodie, and you shouldn't hold onto something that is not yours. Girl 1 should've addressed the issue to Girl 2, but I get a sense that Girl 2 has done this not just once or twice, but multiple times. I don't know these girls personally, but Girl 2 uses "It's not a big deal" to defend her unlikable behaviour.

The second you say you have a boyfriend or a man in your life, a man will leave you alone. It’s all you have to say. Then they know they have to contend with another man and they drop it. It’s the opposite for women, they don’t mind encroaching onto other women’s territory, I’ve noticed. As for me, I have zero desire for someone else’s man, I’m possibly also territorial too haha
