discussion Straight guys calling you “bro”

I don't mind if they're hot

[Into The Void]

No that does not bother me in the least I'd prefer u call me bro over sis lol

I am not straight but I call people bro and dude. I am more bothered (annoyed by, rather than 'bothered') by being called "sis" or collectively as "girls" and "ladies" that seems prominent in more pop gay culture on forums. Thankfully I do not know any gays who actually do that in real life.

the word itself is just so cringy. I don't trust people who use it. like, who are you trying to impress? what's your vibe?

It's giving you really need to leave the house or your social bubble more. Men calling each other bro is not a shred different from women calling each other sis/girl which I've never heard anyone complain about. It's just being friendly/collegial.

I don't call people bro personally because it feels weird passing my lips. Most of my coworkers are Africans or Arabic speakers and they usually call me bro or habibi and that's fine by me. They're just being nice.

i hate it but in a it turns me on kind of way

[Kiss It Better]

it used to bother me, but now it doesn't and hell i even use it when talking to str8 guys now... i kinda like the word now

No one says bro here, I feel like that's more North American slang. The equivalent is probably "mate" which I don't really mind.

Bud is more annoying imo

[Frappucino]

Straight guys talking to me to begin with is annoying. 

[MonsterJohn]

It's very hot, especially when they are being flirty 

[modeblock]

It's a lil' cringe, but it's usually meant in a kind/loving way, so I'm good with it. "Boss," however is HORRENDOUS, and it makes me physically cringe 

 

I do usually call them "sis, girl, honey" back tho (if I know them), and even got some of my straight friends saying "Guurl"

I find the word bro annoying but I don't have a problem with people calling me bro or sis. I don't use the words myself. Saying Bro just feels weird as gay guy. I don't know why. I sometimes use "girl".
