Every year, your birthday suit sags a little more than the year before. That's fine. As men, we get better-looking as we get older. Someone even coined the term "distinguished" to refer to older guys. We have it made!

That's why we don't need plastic surgery. Women don't really need it either, unless you're attracted to chicks who look like oxygen-deprived dolphins, but men, especially, don't need our skin lifted, our bones cut, or our lips, chest and butt fattened up.

Sadly, some guys didn't get the memo -- like Mickey Rourke pictured above. (If only they'd watched "Girl Code" last night.) Getting plastic surgery is definitely against Guy Code, especially if you already have movie-star looks. Take a look at some famous dudes who, from all appearances, broke the Code and then their own faces.

In what is perhaps a violation of both Guy Code AND Girl Code, Washington state's Central Kitsap High School refused to allow one of its students into prom because of her large breasts. Brittany Minder, an 18-year-old senior, got turned away at the door -- until she put on a shawl -- for wearing a dress that revealed too much cleavage.

But it was nearly impossible for her to not reveal. She went as far as Canada to find the perfect dress to accommodate her curves. Her mother commented, "All women are not created equal, and you cannot compare a golf ball to a grapefruit. It ain't gonna happen."

Amen, Ms. Minder! Let the young woman be who she is! Prom was supposed to be the night of this girl's life, and the school made her feel guilty for something that she can't control. Video below:

We can't wait for this weekend's return of much-beloved cult series "Arrested Development." Aside from being hilarious, the show is a great morality tale, because the male Bluths -- family patriarch George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor), his three sons, Michael (Jason Bateman), Gob (Will Arnett) and Buster (Tony Hale), and his grandson George Michael (Michael Cera) -- get in trouble for breaking Guy Code in so many ways...

1. Sleeping with one another's women

Whether it's Michael making illicit moves on his brother Gob's sexy girlfriend Marta, or George Sr.'s relentless hippie twin brother Oscar carrying on a decades-long affair with George's wife Lucille (Jessica Walter), the Bluths don't put much stock in family fidelity.

2. Incestuous attraction

Then again, even worse than sleeping with a relative's girlfriend...is actually sleeping with a relative. Fortunately, George Michael never quite does that, but his attraction to cousin Maeby (Alia Shawkat) is endlessly creepy -- even if he does learn that she might not be his actual cousin.

"The Great Gatsby" World Premiere - Inside Arrivals
Credit: D Dipasupil/Getty Images

With today's release of the latest movie adaptation of "The Great Gatsby," young guys might finally pick up this 1925 literary classic, along with F. Scott Fitzgerald's other novels. No, of course they won't--that would involve actually reading something longer than a tweet--but plenty of guys will see the movie with their girlfriends. And they'll discover that Gatsby is one of the biggest breakers of Guy Code in fictional character history.

Spoilers coming, though if you didn't sleep through high school English, you would already know this stuff...

1. No pride in his roots

The larger-than-life Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie) isn't even Gatsby! He was once a penniless North Dakota boy named James Gatz. Ashamed of his humble beginnings as he tries to make a splash in New York high society, Gatz ditches his name, ignores his elderly father back home and invents a phony persona for himself.

There's nothing sadder than a guy ashamed of his roots and embarrassed by his family (unless he's a Kardashian). Though, admittedly, Gatsby is a pretty cool fake name to pick for yourself.

lingerie for men

Here's what you, as a guy, should wear to bed: A) pajamas, B) underwear or C) nothing.

Here's what you shouldn't: A see-through lace teddy with a bunch of hearts all over it.

Now, we're firm believers that it's OK for consenting adults to do whatever they want in the privacy of their own bedrooms, bathrooms, dungeons, etc. Everyone's a little freaky, and we don't judge. That said, no dude on earth should try to rock a "Fun Teddy" like the one pictured above. (Actual sales text: "Lovely soft fabric teddy for men. Full cut that stays in place, perfect sleepwear. You will wear this every night.")

Even if you're saying to yourself, "No thanks, I won't wear this any night," such garments--a massive hit at this year's Las Vegas International Lingerie Show--could become mainstream before long, according to alt-weekly magazine Vegas Seven:

"If the audience's reception is any indication, we might be on the cusp of a new era in men's underwear. I'm not referring to body-hugging boxer briefs that leave little to the imagination; rather, I'm talking about frilly thongs, silk camisoles and pink teddies designed with men's bodies in mind."

The co-founder of male lingerie company Homme Mystere adds that, "As with women's lingerie, some [guys] will want it all the time, some for special occasions and some will be purchased by wives or girlfriends for the men in their lives." Yes, wives or girlfriends, because the majority of his customers are straight guys.

Count us out. The FAQ claims that men's lingerie is "fun, it feels great and it makes choosing underwear each day a little more enjoyable," but we'd rather go commando.

It's a given that dudes are gonna lie to women, whether it's "That dress looks great on you" or "I'll come right home after work" or "I don't think about your friend that way" or "Of course I don't watch porn--where do people even find it?"

While those lies might not be right, in the 10 Commandments sense, at least they're understandable. But why, why, why would any guy fake an orgasm during sex?

Yeah, we'd never heard of it either, but studies have found that 25% to 34% of guys have counterfeited their climaxes. A new book, "Why Men Fake It: The Totally Unexpected Truth About Men And Sex" by Harvard urologist Abraham Morgentaler, takes a deeper look at this baffling phenomenon. He explained to Salon.com that, besides physical reasons (some guys just have trouble ejaculating), there are social/economic ones:

Quentin Tarantino's movies are pretty much for guys. Sure, "Kill Bill" and "Jackie Brown" feature badass women, but Tarantino understands the male psyche like few other filmmakers. Such is the case with MTV Movie Awards nominee "Django Unchained." But even though it's geared toward guys, not all the characters follow Guy Code. Here's an inventory of who upholds it...and who completely breaks it.

1. Django (Jamie Foxx)

The titular slave is a fiercely courageous man able to overcome his brutal past while keeping a cool head and still seeing the good in (certain) white people. Sold away from his beloved wife Broomhilda, Django's one goal is to make it back to her…though if he rights a few wrongs along the way, all the better.

2. Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz)

This German dentist and bounty hunter is a deeply moral follower of Guy Code who earns his living from rescuing slaves and killing wrongdoers. (Yeah, he hasn't exactly made a buck from dentistry in awhile.) When the good doctor hears Django's sad tale of Broomhilda, he becomes determined to mentor the man and help reunite the lost lovers. What a guy!

On the sixth season premiere of "Mad Men," Don Draper didn't commit a mere misdemeanor against Guy Code; he became a first-degree felon. We've always respected Draper--he lives by his own rules, makes a fortune, and knows how to rock a suit and order a manly cocktail--but we just can't condone his actions last night.

Consider this your spoiler alert, and read on for more about this shocking, unforgivable Code Breaker. (Well, maybe not that shocking. This is Don Draper we're talkin' about.)

"Guy Code" is saving one guy at a time, but we were too late to save the above British lad. (The one on the left, to be specific. You're not seeing double.) Just yesterday we explained how Ryan Cabrera broke the Code with a Ryan Gosling tattoo on his leg. Little did we know that, across the pond, a tragically misguided young man was getting his friend's face tattooed on his buttock.

In a YouTube video titled "Bros Before Hoes," now deleted for violating the site's terms of service (it also violated male friendship's terms of service), the two buddies unveil and celebrate the ass-terpiece. Good luck sealing the deal with a female ever again, mate...with the bedroom light on anyway.

As we previously mentioned, it's OK to get some guys' faces inked on your body (Jesus, 2Pac, Abraham Lincoln, your own face if you're Steve-O), but this goes too far, no matter how much a bro he is. Click below for more NSFW Code-breaking photos.
