Love You, Bro

0:01 Greetings and welcome to real men. Feel I am your host, Andy Grant. I'm an author speaker, coach and healer. Please visit V, Auntie Grant.com to learn more about me. I'm also a man and I love people now. I could not always tell people. I love them especially male friends, growing up. I had one friend who would always tell us how much you loved us when he was drunk? But he can do it sober now. So I know this is a learnable skill for everybody. Love you, dude. Love you mean it? I love you, man. Those are just some of the ways I've said and heard men expressing affection for another man, by the way, I love you, man, is a wonderful underrated Gem of a movie with Jason Segel. And Paul Rudd.

0:50 It is especially funny, if you are a rush fan too but I digress. I'm a fan of. I love you, man. I love you, dude. I love you brother, pal, Chief homie, I love you, buddy. I love you, chap. Fellow guy. All good stuff. Recently, I've been talking with and getting messages from lots of friends that I haven't spoken to for many months or even years. I noticed many guys signing off with love you bro. I've never been a fan of that phrase. I get that. It is short for brother and I don't have brothers I don't have siblings so maybe that's part of it but I adore it. When my brothers in the mankind project or the modern mystery School, say I love you brother.

1:38 Totally cool with that sentiment and phrase, but bro, it changes it for me somehow. When it seems strange to you, if your mom said, love you, bro. To me Bros are in bad. Zac Efron movies, commercial outtakes with anything. With Gronk in it are non-stop Rose. Reality shows are full of guys from Boston who have jet least three Bros / sentence The Urban Dictionary says, Bros are a type of white male between the ages of 16 and 24, they originated in Southern California, during the to early 2000s. But a now prevalent in most major cities throughout the u.s.

2:19 and Canada. They are characterized mainly by their frequent, use of the word bro, who describe other males or actually unrelated to them. But can be noted by many other distinguishing features including but not limited to a brightly colored Abercrombie and French Polo. Often pink one with the collar popped. A Livestrong, bracelet. A trucker hat worn either backwards or tilt it to the side, a pair of Gino's sunglasses. Most likely purchased from Armani Exchange for 39.99 often worn indoors in. Non sunny weather being overly tanned to the point at which it is apparent. They spend several days a week at the tanning salon hair with too much gel in it working out all the time and wearing overly tight shirts to make it look like they are more Jack than they actually are.

3:04 Frequent use of the words, chill and Sweet liking Family, Guy better than the Simpsons listening to a combination of soft rock such as Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers with a touch of rap. Ripped jeans for formal attire and track pants for informal attire and finally the excessive use of cologne and Axe Body Spray. Now they mentioned several bro, repellents available to the common North American man. First is listening to thrash metal. Grunge metal or classic rock second using words longer than six letters? Some sample, bro, exchange. Yo bro, let's go chill at Laguna Beach bro.

3:45 But first, we have to work on our Tans, bro. Sweet, bro. Sounds chilling, bro. Let's Do it up Ro. Maybe this is a generational thing and this is all an early indicator of impending. Grumpy old man, hood for me, I don't know but I wanted to open the discussion my most academic attempt at stating why this bugs me? Is this to me adding bro is this frat house? D escalation of Love due to latent. Fears of homosexuality. I love you but I ain't no homo. Is that kind of nonsense can't we just say Say, I love you. Period.

4:25 Or if you are a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I love you. 3000 is also acceptable. Now, I've recently asked for the guys in the private, real men. Feel Facebook group. If love you bro, bug them at all. Jeff shared that, you know, really nothing to be bothered by to me. Bro, is short for brother so they're really just saying you are as close as a brother to them. I don't read that much into love being sent, I just appreciate it. Fantastic sentiment. Anthony said, I guess it depends on the intent, but I see where you're going with this. Some might add in the bro as a way of saying no homo and again it bro feels like a deflation Airy term it could be for another reason but it makes me think of, you know, the girl you long for she found this.

5:10 I love you as a friend. Right? Any to me any that anything I met comma, I love U comma and then there can be a d escalation, it can be a phrase of term that just takes the air out of that love Malcolm shared. I'm okay with brother but not so much with grow. My take is people generally think the cool kids say, bro, so they want to be seen as cool. Matt said, I'd rather hear the love, you with whatever sauce on it, than not at all. And I completely agree. I please, Don't think I'm trying to get men to stop. Expressing love for each other. I'll gladly take, I love you. You fucking douche bag over any man. Being afraid to say that they love someone out loud. Gabriel said mixed feelings on this one as assayer and receiver of the phrase It's endearing yet. Casual it can add warmth is equally as take away depending on the who one went and if I'm not trying to say this is good or bad, I'm just wondering if other people feel that that Bros somehow Waters it down.

6:07 What is that notion of Love down? If only Jeff shared, I prefer to sign off with a hearty but you drink victoriously from the skulls of your vanquished enemies, bro. So does the provocation of male communication bother you at all? I would love to hear your thoughts.
