Do guys usually call girls ‘bro’ ?

[muscularbumblebee]

But if context I know its definitely a friend zone thing and I’m happy to be called bro as it means I fit in (especially with gym guys usually calling me bro) but also a few work friends but

1) How often do you guys usually call girls bro? 2) Do you usually think much of it depending on gender or you’re used to calling everyone that?
3) Is it weird for a girl to call a guy bro if he hasn’t called her bro first?

I call any friend bro, it's good word to symbol we can never have sex. Doesn't matter who called bro first bc to me it's the same as saying hey or buddy

[spartan55]

Any guy that calls a girl 'bro' should be beaten senseless.

[muscularbumblebee]

How come?

[spartan55]

Because some nomenclature should stay amongst guys. Calling a chick 'bro' sounds forced, like they are trying to show your crew that this outsider (woman) is cool/part of the club.
I'm sure if guys began using a phrase used primarily heard amongst women there would be some blowback. Like if we start whining about 'fighting our feelings' or some shit like that. You girls be like 😳huh?

I can never be friends with girls or they’ll think i’m hitting on them or something. Really sucks because there were a few girls who were cool but got distant after school. No I don’t want your pussy! I just wanted to say hi to an old classmate. So now I keep it strictly business like Keanu Reaves. No touching. No Me Too.

[muscularbumblebee]

I think you misread the question lol. This isn’t about flirting, it’s about being called ‘bro’ in general

[GlassTop]

That’s what I’m saying. Some girls would call that sexual harassment. Not even joking. Some girls think you are hitting on them just for talking to them. The only girls I've ever called bro were my sisters.

[Lionman95]

No, it´s nothing guys normally do. The cases I know are guys that feel like they have a deeper emotional bond with a girl. I also know some guys that call their girlfriends because they consider them to being their best friends.
But that´s not the norm as I can see it.

[IMuser]

Nope. However we prefer to call her "sis" if she is someone whom we treat and consider like a sister (and similarly, we get brozoned too when a girl calls us bro)

[muscularbumblebee]

Never heard a guy call a girl sis lol but fair enough thanks

[TheSpaceGnome]

I've done it, even if I'm interested in her. I honestly don't take the term seriously.

[muscularbumblebee]

Are you worried she might think you friendzoned her if you’re interested?

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, friendzoning isn't a real thing. You have to be friends first before dating anyway.

[GMANN56]

I don't even call other guys "bro". I think it sounds stupid.

[Adam1978]

Bro that so a black term, I would never use it.

[muscularbumblebee]

You mean mostly black guys use it?

[Adam1978]

Yes that what I mean.

[muscularbumblebee]

Ok yeah.. I’m seeing a correlation. Maybe gender is insignificant then just terms people are used to using thanks

[TheBootyChest]

I NEVER call anyone "bro".

[Gwenhwyfar]

Yeah defo a friendzone thing

[boggboss]

Never called a girl bro

[Aimée__LJ]

Yes. I get called bro often hones6

[supcurA]

if their gym partner maybe yes

[Wise4myage]

Only if she is a friend.

[Henry___Blakes]

Rarely.

[muscularbumblebee]

How come? And why do you think guys usually cal me that then? The way I dress and lift? I wear light makeup sometimes but that’s about it for being ‘feminine’

[Henry___Blakes]

No. I just randomly call my friends for fun. No inner meanings

[TallAnon]

Just a habit, bro

[Randybg74]

No. Not at all
