What the **** is a "bromance?"

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

I have never heard the term until this thread.

 

[Metal Spidey]

From what I understand it's suppose to be a strong friendship between guys. The term may be new but what it represents isn't. It's like a girl-crush or man-crush. It's not sexual at all, it's friendship.

Before anyone asks, no I don't have a bromance nor will I ever.

 

[Spade]

The only time I hear it said in real life is on college campuses, by guys who don't seem very comfortable with their sexuality.

 

[SapphirePrima]

I hear on reality tvshows all the time. I like the term. I use when two guys become like best friends really quickly.

If it wasn't at least somewhat sexual it would just be a friendship, the word romance wouldn't be involved. If one or both guys in a friendship describe it as a "bromance" there's some definite sexual tension between them. It's like the term metrosexual, just another way to say you're gay or bi without coming out of the closet.

Funny...I just got done reading Teen Titans 66, where Paco uses the word on Jaime (Blue Beetle) and Jaime's all like wtf?

 

[imdaly]

Y'know, now that I think about it, Harry Osborn and Peter Parker are frienemies with a bromance...

 

[Spade]

frienemies with a bromance

Reading these words in the same sentence makes me wish neither one existed.

Hearing either one separate should make you wish neither one existed.

No, no, it's not a best friends thing. It's different. And it only applies to a certain kind of friendship. About the only two I can think of at the moment are J.D. and Turk from Scrubs and Shawn and Gus from Psych. Both of those are perfect examples of the bromance.

 

[Sky Captain]

Booster Gold and Blue Beetle.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

I really have no problem with the term.

I don't let words bother me.

 

[Captain Planet!]

I Bromanced a person to death once. It was pretty sick and messy... Like, "Storming the beaches of Normandy" sick and messy.

 

[chaseter]

A bromance is when another *****ey, rich, pratty ***hole spawned from the Hills wants their own tv show.

 

[The Senator]

Bromances don't work out well for me... for various, somewhat obvious reasons...

 

[chaseter]

Heidi wants her own show called Hoemance

Forget that. I can't wait for the VH1 show "Joemance" where Joe Pesci and Joe Piscopo live together under one roof and try to revive their careers.

I can't imagine that being any worse than the Two Coreys

Forget that. I can't wait for the VH1 show "Joemance" where Joe Pesci and Joe Piscopo live together under one roof and try to revive their careers.

With guest appearances by Joe Schmo, Joe the millionaire, Jo from that Orange County House Wife show, and Joey Lawrence

Don't forget Joe the Plumber.

 

[chaseter]

Don't forget Joe the Plumber.

He is too busy trying to make more money before Obama takes it all away from his non qualifying small business.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Man, I'm sick of these shows. That dude from The Hills should be ashamed of himself for doing this.

Of course, I could go on forever about people like this... tabloid trash, famous for doing nothing. =\

 

[imdaly]

Anyone wanting to stab forks in their ears right now? No?




How about NOW?

Yep same here. I then proceeded to call them gay for using MTV slang, and they get defensive or quiet. Since then a couple of them have come out of the closet.

If it wasn't at least somewhat sexual it would just be a friendship, the word romance wouldn't be involved. If one or both guys in a friendship describe it as a "bromance" there's some definite sexual tension between them.

Exactly.

No, no, it's not a best friends thing. It's different. And it only applies to a certain kind of friendship. About the only two I can think of at the moment are J.D. and Turk from Scrubs and Shawn and Gus from Psych. Both of those are perfect examples of the bromance.

No, that's called being best friends.

Forget that. I can't wait for the VH1 show "Joemance" where Joe Pesci and Joe Piscopo live together under one roof and try to revive their careers.

I'd watch this show for the hilariously awesome hot mess it would become.
