What would you feel if a girl calls you “bro” if she is not your sister/related to you?

1. My fiancée does to me on occasion and I hate it.

2. Love it. I call every peer I can bro, but I know a fair amount of women don’t like it, so it’s always a relief when they start the broliferation

3. Must me an age thing, I don’t like being called bro. I’m 40 and i grew up with “dude” and “man”. Nowadays the kids don’t even say bro, it’s bruuuuuuh. Now get off my lawn.

4. She like one of the bros for real. Comes with its own prestige.

5. I mean as an Aussie bro is literally everywhere, as an older brother I wouldn’t even care, when I allow you to call me cunt, bro is gonna be fine as well

6. I’d be indifferent.

7. You get used to it when your crush do that all the time

8. I don’t live in the US. Anyone calling anyone else ‘bro’ is weird as fuck and annoying.

9. Not a fan.

10. I’m so glad I’m not in my 20’s.

    Bro is code for “i am not at all interested in you, go away”.

11. If a woman says it, I view her in the masculine and it’s a turn off. We used to dump on people who used it, as it was something associated with stoner culture.

12. I actually don’t line being called bro by anyone but my actual siblings. There was a few exceptions that felt natural

13. Fine.

14. it probably means she’s a ‘social experiment’ YouTuber, time travelled from 2013

15. Don’t care either way. Some people just talk that way – could be fun, could be a bit irritating, all depends on the situation and context they use the word in.

16. My wife calls me bro all the time. Everyone is a bro. Just like everyone is a dude. It’s a complement.

17. I hate when romantic partners do it. But anyone else I don’t care.

18. Calling me “bro” immediately makes think less of someone unless they are my brother.

19. I’ve had a girl grasp my forearm before (when I went for a handshake) and say, “Brethren.” She was pretty cool actually.

20. Neutral. It’s like saying man, dude, bruh, etc. If anything, I think we’re only friendly terms.
