why do u hate it?

I may just hate the word “bro “ in general. I mean words matter and u are not my brother. Also I associate it with bro culture and toxic masculinity which may be why it’s off puttIng to me.

Similar to your reasons. I also have never felt super super masculine so it just makes me uncomfortable when someone refers to me as just "one of the boys". Also not a fan of "bud" or "buddy", though when my actual brother calls me these words I'm fine with it.

No it doesn’t bother me. I say it now too. They got me. Room full of women - “bro,” “hey guys.” Cancel me.

This is my exact prob with it, thank you for saying it 1st! Same with “fam”. Ppl talking to me with a degree of familiarity that they haven’t earned is disrespectful. My actual “bro” is an awesome person I’m proud to call family. No straight guy whose company I’ve ever enjoyed has called me bro, it’s only the weird 1s

 

ETA: No prob with dude. If you smoke enough weed, it naturally enters your vocabulary via osmosis or something, idk

In Mexico we don't say bro, we say "wey" but that's gender neutral because you can also call a girl "wey" and that's like the go-to word, so... :turkey: but I don't mind anyone calling me bro, I'm a MAN after all

Yeah no if a reasonably attractive guy calls me “bro” then I melt instantly, like my boss did it once and I nearly passed out

 

:clack:

I don't feel connected to masculinity so it's a little weird, but I don't mind. They mean well

No, it’s hot if anything. And like someone else already said I considered bro and sis gender neutral, personally

It's a term of endearment. If being referred to as sis/girl/gwwuoorl doesn't bother you, why would the counterpart that actually matches your gender trigger you? :rip:
