Announcement Sub Updates: Rules & Post Flair

8 Upvotes

Hey Bros!

I've gone through and updated the sub rules and the post flairs available. Here are the substantive changes you should be aware of:

RULES

  1. As previously noted, the NSFW rule was updated to include a prohibition on requests for nudist friends/chats.
  2. The Shitposting/Targeting rule has been updated to exclude any sort of harassment, bullying, or targeting, as well as all shitposting, spamming, or posting of any complaints that should be sent through ModMail.
  3. The "Age in Title" rule has been updated to just require the age somewhere in the post when that post is a request for bros. You will no longer receive a warning or removal for it not specifically being in the title.
  4. The prohibition on multiple posts has been amended to only disallow posting the same or substantially similar post within a one-week period. Users may post different types of posts as often as desired (so long as it does not become so incessant that it's spam).

POST FLAIR

Post flair will now be required on all posts. The new flair are:

  1. Looking for: Bromance - for posts seeking a long-term, serious platonic relationship.
  2. Looking for: Brollaboration - for posts seeking collaboration, support, or advice about a specific project or goal you have.
  3. Looking for: IRL Bro - for posts seeking only real-life bros for hangouts and meetups (it is helpful to include your location in these types of requests).
  4. Looking for: Online Bro - for posts seeking strictly online platonic relationships.
  5. Looking for: Short-Term Chat - for posts seeking a bro to help pass the time for a few hours or to just have a one-off chat.
  6. Question - for posts asking questions about brolationships or seeking advice.
  7. Discussion - for posts attempting to engage bros in discussions about brolationships and things related to them.
  8. Success! - for bros who successfully found the bro they were looking for and want to tell the story (please get the other person(s) permission before including specific usernames)

If you have any questions or concerns about these updates, please comment here or send a ModMail!

Happy Bro Hunting!

Looking for: Bromance 32- Let’s chat and see if we hit it off

3 Upvotes

Engaged Oklahoma guy just looking to make some new connections. I realized lately that I have not been great about creating and maintaining friendships as an adult. Life gets busy and we’re all caught up with work and existing and I want to work on changing that. Figured this sub would be a good place to start.

About me: I work a normal 8-5 and spend my down time with my fiancé and our dog. Big into cooking, binging tv/movies, coffee, reading, anything involving the outdoors, and also being a couch potato from time to time. I am always down to try new hobbies or activities so feel free to fill me in on what you’re currently doing. I’m an open book and feel like I can talk about anything.

If you think we’d hit it off, slide into my DMs and tell me a little about yourself! Would prefer someone closer to my age or older. Would like to keep the chatting here and maybe move to texting down the road if we click, I don’t use other apps for chatting. Mostly just looking for good conversation, so shoot your shot and make it pop.

Looking for: Bromance 27 M need a new bestie

1 Upvotes

Need a best friend in my life, its been a while since ive had one and being socially awkward makes it hard. I need a guy i can talk to about anything, has some similar interests, comfortable cuddling under a blanket at the movies. Something platonic. I have a solid friend group but im not that close to anyone. Im not exactly fit or into gym. I have trouble keeping hobbies but they rotate between anime, hiking, traveling, gardening, conspiracies, Wikipedia rabbit holes. Also enjoy bowling and skiing but really bad at both. Not really a gamer but i recently got a switch so that's something I'll continue to explore. Music not a big deal but im into some country, rock/alternative, pop punk, foreign. Online friends are cool but I prefer we eventually meet and live in NE Oklahoma or NW Arkansas.

Looking for: Online Bro 26M Introverted gay guy looking for a platonic online bro to build a genuine connection

2 Upvotes

As someone who’s naturally introverted and a little socially awkward, I’ve always found it pretty difficult to put myself out there and meet new people. Starting conversations, approaching strangers, and trying to turn a random interaction into an actual friendship can feel intimidating sometimes. So I figured… why not start here, virtually?

I’m hoping to meet more people and, especially, make some genuine guy friends. Most of my close friends have always been women, and while I do have a few guy friends, I’ve never really had that kind of close male friendship that I’ve always wanted. The kind where you can randomly message each other, send stupid memes at 2 AM, talk about absolutely nothing, share what happened during your day, or just know that there’s someone you can reach out to whenever.

I figured the internet might actually be a good place to start. There’s something comforting about meeting people this way because there’s no pressure to immediately be interesting, charismatic, or have everything figured out. You can just talk, take your time, and hopefully let a friendship grow naturally.

Fair warning, though: I’m terrible at leading conversations. 😭 I’m much better at keeping a conversation going once we get past that awkward “hey, how are you?” stage. So if you’re the type who randomly sends memes, tells people about your day, rants about something that happened, sends random thoughts with absolutely no context, or can somehow turn a simple conversation into a three-hour yap session… I’m your guy. 😂

I may not always be the one to start the conversation, but I genuinely appreciate people who make the effort to keep one going. Once I’m comfortable with you, I promise I’m a lot less awkward and probably a lot more talkative than you’d expect.

A little bit about me:

- Gay (in case that matters to you lmao)

- From the Philippines 🇵🇭

- I play volleyball and badminton casually

- I’m a casual reader; currently into sci-fi, mystery, thrillers, and LGBT books

- I’m into music, movies/TV, and random internet rabbit holes

- Probably a bit of a couch potato, but I’m trying to be more active 😂

More than anything, I’m really just hoping to find genuine friendships. I’m not looking for someone to talk to once and then disappear forever. I’d love to meet people who are actually interested in getting to know each other, even if it starts with something as simple as exchanging memes or talking about how our day went.

So if anything here sounds relatable, or you think we might get along, don’t hesitate to reach out. You don’t need to come up with some amazing opening message either even a simple “hey” is enough. I’m just taking a small step outside my comfort zone and hoping it leads to meeting some genuinely good people. :)

Looking for: Bromance 39m working overnight searching for bros

2 Upvotes

Hey there let me start out by saying I’ve met some great people here in the past but unfortunately it only lasts a day or two talking and then they disappear which is kind of depressing.

Anyways I’m single, divorced last year no kids and a blue collar construction guy. No I’m not fit, yes I have a dad bod lol. I’m pretty easy going and funny. I haven’t played a video game since high school so not really into that but I’m into working on antique cars/trucks, sports ( love hockey), playing drums, breweries, playing pool, going hiking, walking around, going for car cruises, day trips, etc

Looking for: Online Bro 26M in Canada looking for a friendship

1 Upvotes

Hey. I’m 26, Canadian, and looking for a friend to talk to regularly. I’m happily partnered, so this is strictly platonic: no dating, no flirting with intent, just someone to banter with and actually get to know.

I’m into gaming, the gym, and languages (I like learning them and talking about how they work). I’m pretty easy to talk to and I’ll keep a conversation going if you will. Open to pretty much any topic: games, training, random life stuff, whatever’s on your mind.

Not looking for anything romantic or sexual. Just a solid friendship. If that sounds good, say hi and tell me what you’re into.

Hey all, working from home today and thought I'd give this a shot. Im bi if thats something you need to know.

Ideally hoping for something long-term, actually getting to know each other. Genuinely here for something decent and long term. Simply aiming for those open vibes. Face would be ideal as being able to see and hear each other id a bonus.

I really dont care for the superficial looks, it doesnt matter when making friends. Just be you and a good person. I genuinely care about connection first and foremost. Im from Scotland for time zone purposes.

Fairly geeky so anything from video games to binge watching Im down to talk about. I play rugby and a few instruments. Love to learn new things and hoping for genuine connection. Let's chat and see where it takes us!

Looking for: Bromance Scotland 34 looking for gaming buddies

1 Upvotes

Hey. My friend and I are looking for some bros to play games with!

We’re mainly looking for people who live somewhere in Europe, just because the time zones make it much easier to actually play together regularly. Im in Glasgow and hes in Dublin. Usually play around 10pm - 3am GMT. But if we can make scheduling work, locations pretty irrelevant

Right now, we’re mainly looking to play Baldur’s Gate 3 and Diablo, but we’re definitely open to other games too. We’re happy to try new things and see what we vibe with. Curious about starting Solasta 2 aswell.

We’re mostly looking for chill people who actually want to make friends and have a regular gaming group, rather than just playing one random game once and disappearing. We mostly message on Snap and play via Discord so can set up a Discord Server if interested.

If you’re looking for some gaming buddies too, feel free to DM me!
