Your friend's pissed, lost and scared and just asked you for a lift but your girlfriend's telling you to blow him off. What do you do? Ditch her, of course. This trope refers to the concept of putting friends before a romantic interest, with the idea that love is fleeting, but True Companions are forever. Although, this is ignoring the fact that friendships can also be fleeting and can have the same problems that romances could be plagued with. A sub-trope of The Bro Code. "Pals before gals" is the G rated version. "Mates before dates" is an Australian version. "Chicks before dicks" is picking up steam as the feminine version; "sisters before misters" or "Bows before bros" works too. Compare with True Companions, Friend Versus Lover, and Two-Timing with the Bestie. |

However, when Marinette wants to take part, Nino is adamant that it should be guys-only, much to Adrien's confusion. | |

Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade is a very dark example, with Fuse having to choose between his brothers-in-arms in the Wolf Brigade (Bros) and the Mysterious Waif/double agent he is falling in love with (Ho). It turns out he already chose Bros, having known the Ho was The Mole the whole time. It still pains him deeply to shoot her for the sake of his friends. | |

Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Invoked/referenced where Liu Bei stops Zhang Fei from committing suicide over a failure with "[b]rothers are as hands and feet; wives and children are as clothing. You may mend your torn dress, but who can reattach a lost limb?". Though this could also be credited with how he 'justified' tossing the rescued Liu Shan to the ground just because it endangers Zhao Yun... Another story or variant of the novel features the three brothers almost breaking the code, and then realizing in time that they should have kept their code together: After the defeat of Lu Bu, Cao Cao hands over his lover Diao Chan to the three brothers on the purpose of breaking them up. Initially the plan worked, with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei occasionally bickering on who gets to be with Diao Chan. Guan Yu, however, smells a rat about how many powerful men fell due to the wiles of a beautiful woman and deduces that they're falling for Cao Cao's trap. So one night, he took Diao Chan for a walk alone and then kills her. Henceforth, the three brothers never argued again and Cao Cao's plan is thwarted. |

Umi from Kindred Spirits on the Roof practices a variant of this, since her Love Interest Sasa is her friend rather than a relative stranger. Umi accepts Sasa's Love Confession, but puts friendship above all else, and gets Sasa to agree that they'll break up if their going out makes things awkward with their mutual friend Nena. Fortunately, Nena, who is a Shipper on Deck for Umi and Sasa, calls them out on even considering breaking up for her sake and insists that they stay together. | |

Throughout their lives in My Love Story!!, Gentle Giant Takeo has seen the girls he likes prefer his buddy Suna, only for Suna to always reject them. The reason: All those girls would badmouth Takeo behind his back. Takeo would frequently return the favor, in particular going to be with Suna when his father's in the hospital, even though it meant abandoning a birthday date with his girlfriend (after Suna had insisted he go). The aforementioned girlfriend later shows up at the hospital as well, having made a garland of origami cranes for Suna's father. | |

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War: During the Culture Festival arc, Kashiwagi forgoes dancing with her boyfriend Tsubasa at the bonfire to spend time with Maki instead. When Maki asks why, Kashiwagi simply responded that she cares more for her best friend than him. Likewise, while Maki may have had feelings for Tsubasa long before Kashiwagi started dating him, she never makes any serious attempts to steal him away because she cares for Kashiwagi too much as a friend to break her heart like that. And when Kashiwagi tries to dump Tsubasa so Maki can date him at the end of the series, Maki actually gets angry that Kashiwagi thinks she'd want to do so at the expense of her friend's happiness. |

Inverted in the Seinfeld episode "The Stranded". Jerry explains the Male Code as not only putting women over your friends, but that your friends must accept it without question and are obligated to do whatever it takes to help you hook up with the woman, no matter how much it screws them over. In the episode, Jerry allows George to take a woman home from a house party in the car, leaving him and Elaine stranded there for hours. When Elaine complains, Jerry says there was nothing he could do. "It's part of the Code." | |

There's a song by fictional rapper Gangstalicious on The Boondocks called "Homies Over Hos", which masquerades as this trope but is actually very much in favor of "ho" as in "Ho Yay", making it something of an inversion (as it prioritizes romantic / sexual prospects over friends, just with a different gender component). A Pimp Named Slickback inverts it more directly, saying that there are many, many things he will put before a ho, but a bro is not one of them. In fact, a bro is pretty much the only thing he won't put before a ho. (In case his name doesn't make it obvious, in this context he means "hoes" as in literal prostitutes whom he profits off of.) | |

Blue Flag has a rare opposite sex friendship variant. Mami Yagihara, a girl who was tired of romantic drama and wanted a solid platonic friendship with guys, ended up fast friends with her classmate Shingo. One day, he was found beaten up by the guys in class, one of whom decided to confess to Mami. While she's initially touched, she puts two and two together and realizes those boys found Shingo a romantic threat and bullied him so he'd stay away from Mami—and rejects the boy wholesale, decking him in the face for it along the way. | |

Rong Guang wins the fight over the opportunity for revenge but decides to accept Pei Ming's heartfelt apology instead. | |

She responded by putting three arrows in Jon as he rode off. Fans promptly dubbed this a case of Crows Before Hoes With Bows. | |

Saw 3D has two men in a trap with a woman who's been bedding them both and having them steal to get her what she wanted. One of the three will be killed by the trap, while the other two will survive. The two men initially compete against each other to get the other man killed, when the woman makes the fatal mistake of cheering one on and saying she never loved the other... and then reversing it and cheering on the other one when he seems to be winning. At that point, they both realise she was playing them for fools and decide she's not worth it, before letting the trap kill her. Bros before hoes, graphically portrayed. | |

The female-solidarity version happens twice in Adventure Time with Fionna & Cake: Card Wars. First Cake upsets her adopted sister Fionna by failing to respond when a member of her otherwise all-male gaming club insults her. Later, when Cake is playing Prince Gumball, one of Fionna's potential love interests, Gumball suggests that this might create a conflict of loyalty for Fionna, but Fionna absolutely denies this. | |
