The SL Bromance. Does it exist?




Bromance: "Describes the complicated love and affection shared by two straight males."


Yes, I am actually blogging on Bromance. Blogging on a word, I never thought I would utter out of my mouth in my lifetime. But wandering thru SL, I kept wondering "Why is it that men don't seem to have groups of guys to hang out with"
Meet any man in SL and do a profile pick check. More than likely you are going to see at least 2-3 friends of his listed......and they will all be girls. You'll really see alot men with other groups of men hanging out in SL. I think in the two years that I have been here....I have seen two gatherings and those were both bachelor parties. I do have a few male friends that have male counterparts in SL, but it seems that only happens with some kind of business venture (clubs) or when they are building something (houses, bikes, cars....etc). Your never going to hear a man in SL say "Hey.....I just got done hanging out with Bob......we went to a park". Nope.....your never going to see male bonding on that level in SL

Another thing that I notice happening ALOT, pertains to men who are either partnered or married in SL....is the ball and chain effect. Yes...I am guilty of this too. It's like "Well, this person is with me....and I expect them to be with me 100% of the time". Let me tell you....this does not work. This is where the Bromance should happen. Find male dudes to hang with....make a friend. Find a subject you can bond over.....like tits and pussy. Apparently all men like these things.

So men....get out there, find a friend! As Martha Stewart (that whore) says "It's a good thing"

See I'm hearing ya but I think most guys are in SL to pretend to being 'more man' than RL. LOL.

Almost every guy dresses like his a biker or at least from the set of Easy Rider.

That just can't be cool ... like me! Can they?

I've bromanced (shivers) but it's just lame.
