And thirdly, the code is more what you’d call “guidelines” than actual rules

One of the bizarre traits I inherited from the C Family Clan is an ability to sleep with the tv on. In fact, I sleep better with a bit of noise as opposed to complete silence. Last night as I was falling asleep and re-watching He's Just Not That Into You for the 2938180938th time I started thinking about this quote.

Random Guy: A girl will never sleep with you if she calls you "cuddly" or "dependable", if she pops a zit in front of you, if her name is Amber or Christine, if she takes a dump in your bathroom, or if she takes leftovers on dates one, two, or three. I know it's not scientific, but I'm just saying, you were warned.

I actually have a similar standard set of guidelines as well.

Note To Women: If a guy is named Adam, Eric, Chris(topher), or has only 4 letters in his name he is more than likely going to be a jerk. If a guy farts the first time he is over at your house he will treat you badly in the long run. If a guy doesn't pay for the first 2 dates he is only interested in sex. If a guy wants to stay at his house more than yours he more than likely has Peter Pan Syndrome.

Now if only I could learn to listen to my own advice.

Chad there are exceptions to every rule! You are quite lovely.

Other than the name part, I think you have it nailed.

I agree with your rule.. unfortunately due to my own experience.

I definitely agree on the name part – Mike, Mark, Matt, Dale, Dave, Dean… all of em – JERKS! (and I’m sure I’ve forgotten some)

I’m not going to tell you which ones RV is guilty of.

I wholeheartedly DISAGREE. Mick is just lovely, and doesn’t fall into the 4 letter jerk category. Didn’t you just list off all your ex-boyfriends too? Of course you think they suck. I’m sure you have some jerky ex’s that don’t have 4 letters.

I date 3 Adams, 5 Erics, 4 Chrises, 2 Joshs, 3 Marks. I’d say 99% of my exes have 4 letter names. Though there are exceptions as Chad, RV, and Mick are all lovely human beings. Like I said…these are just guidelines

Four letter names mean you’re a dick, without question, no excuses Lauren. ;o)
I think her “guidelines” were just as arbitrary as the original ones from the movie, but if enough rings true, it’s easy to hop on, yes? (I know a Christine and she TOTALLY puts out – so see?)
Maybe this is just because most nicknames tend to be about that many letters? Andrew, Michael, Matthew and Christopher all shorten down quite well and are super popular. I myself have dated some dickheads with these names/nicknames, but really, I just stopped by to say I agree about the farting.
If a guy farts in front of me early on he is clearly done trying to impress or woo me. What kind of fun is THAT? I may as well go poop in his bathroom while I pop my zits.

Adam, Eric, John, Evan, Hugh… this completely wipes out all Anglo-Saxons and a few Germanic chaps
