I like your question. I do not call girls 'bro' but I will often refer to them as guys.
It relates to the acceptance factor.
Ice hockey is still a predominantly male sport, but in the adult league I am the old man but we have lots of girls playing with us. I always make sure that they are in the locker room with us* so that they feel part of the team.
When we talk on the ice or in the locker room I always use the word 'guys' when referring to our teammates, both men and women. It just makes everyone feel like an equal participant.
I am hoping that this is why the 'guys' call you bro, just a way to make you feel included without that gender distinction.
BTW: you are a lovely girl so there is no 'confusion' from them
* Girls can still opt to dress in a separate locker room if they choose to.
Yeah, I like girl call me bro , I often call others bro or buddy. But I never call a girl bro. It sound not bad, Just I feel that word not made for women. I would rather call you Barbie , Hey Gorgeous, Supergirl. Or Sis? Anyway no offence no matter what I call you.
BROOO!! @BertMacklinFBI
It's never bothered me. Bro, man, dude. Much of a muchness. I know when someone calls me that, they don't have the intentions on wanting something more romantically. And that's so good! Because I'm not interested anyways lol
I call my girl and guy friends bro LOL or dude. And guys sometimes call me dude or just by my name. I don't mind really its just a nickname.
I get called dude or man a lot. Like "Dude, where'd you put the remote?" Or "Hey Man, give me back my burrito"

i think if a girl is your female BFF its cool to call her bro or if its a girl i am dating and we are like playing a game and she beats me i would be like Bro... or if we are play fighting that would be cool 2
It's fine by me bro!
I think it's cool, definitely shows they're comfortable with you lol I just don't want to be called sis :P
It's just like call a group of girls "guys." Or calling a girl "dude." The term is being used colloquially, not literally. So there is nothing wrong with that.
I suppose it is sort of a term of endearment as well.
You should never call a girl a bro. It's a turn off when a girl calls a guy bro. Actually, no one should use the term bro, because it's such a douchey term.
It means you're VERY close friend of him but you're also brozoned.
just stupid basically...
bor is 4 boys, not 4 girls
lol sounds like the only reason to call a girl "bro"is when someone wanna "brozone" her!
I'm called bro by all my guy friends. Sometimes even dude. Just depends. They know i wouldn't date them and they know im off limits right now so they just "brozone" me.
Sounds like you were treated as one of the guys which is perfectly fine.
I've spent a lot of time with girls. I don't think I've ever called a girl, "bro." I've called lots of my friends-that-are-girls "dude" however.
I don't see myself using the word that much. I'm not inclined to use slang. And I just wouldn't use "bro" on a girl X）. I'd say miss, or woman, or lady. I'm just that proper gah...
I find that kind of thing annoying. It's just incorrect.
It's a little weird because bro means brother, do you want to be someone's brother?
It would be weird if guys called friendzoned girls sis
When i call a girl 'bro' or 'man', it means she is one of the guys. I would not say this to a girl i am sexually attracted to though.
It's basically saying you're one of the guys (i. e. they couldn't imagine having sex with you).
I use it in reference to guys and girls lol.
Wouldn't it make more sense to call you sis? Short like sister.
I ain't your bro, pal.
I am called bro and dude too, I am good with it.
