Your guy friend can't provide you anything. The right woman can provide you with children and a family. Friends don't last forever but your family will always be there for you. Find the right woman and make one.
@Shiningtempest I'm just being honest. They don't last. Friends can get married and start their own family then they wont' have the time for you anymore. Friends may also separate due to moving to others states or getting new friends. there's really no binding contract to stick together either.
@Shiningtempest Keeping in touch is not the point of being friends. Friends are people who are there help you when you need assistance. Your friend 200 miles away cannot help you when you get evicted or your refrigerator doesn't work or if there is a flood in your area. They also won't constantly visit or check up on you when you're 65 to see if you're doing ok. This is what you're family would do. When your friend has his own family, he's not gonna have the time to keep meeting up with you anymore. I think you're just too young to understand life. Give it 10 more years and, your opinions will change.
@Shiningtempest Come back to this thread in 10 years and you will realize I'm right. All your friends won't give a crap about you by then. They're too busy with their kids and families.
I agree with the idea of a homie-hoe-stasis as in the photo you provided. A guy's close friends cater to different needs than a romantic partner does, but they're both important.
I get the sentiment. Dont abandon your friends when you're in a relationship. Besides a good bf/gf is going to allow you to see your friends or hang out with them
Women are generally going to be much more closer to their significant other than their friend. That's not even close. So the saying doesn't make sense other than to maybe high school age girls.
this saying doesn't go against wives or girlfriends, only for women that aren't important to someone such as hoes, or women you just meet, believe it or not, there's people that change up as soon as they meet someone.
You need friends or at least some other guys who share same interest like you. Focusing entirely on your partners is bad idea, because it makes you dependent. Dependency isn't a good situation for relationship stability.
It's not a matter of getting older, but of being more mature and realizing that these juvenile pathetic "rules" are to be left in junior high where they belong.
When I was a teenager, I heard this expression amongst my friends who got a boyfriend and were suddenly nowhere to be seen. Girls would say "hoes before bros" and the opposite for males.
Oh, thaaaat. Well, you kind of have to go individual in any case (the friends only ever made things significantly worse for me. Most, anyway - I'm thinking being back in Sydney just over that (but try to afford a house or daycare there - basic ingredients for a family!))
Haha, I've never really subscribed to that. Why would I choose a guy over girl that I could call my own at the end of the day if I'm not gay. doesn't make any sense. Lol

People who take it too seriously, like most here, are probably really fun at parties.
It's not to be taken literally, it means just means that you should never disregard your friends, to not be blinded by love, etc.

Why find the right woman when I have a loyal bros who got my back?
@Shiningtempest Overwhelming majority of friendships don’t last forever
If you believe that majority of friendships don't last, then so be it.
@Shiningtempest I'm just being honest. They don't last. Friends can get married and start their own family then they wont' have the time for you anymore. Friends may also separate due to moving to others states or getting new friends. there's really no binding contract to stick together either.
Even if that's the case, my friends will come up with creative methods to keep in touch with me if they want to keep in touch.
@Shiningtempest That's something you would believe when you're 24. Just wait til you're 35, it would be a completely different story. Live and Learn.
As long as me & my friends finds creative ways to keep in touch, friendships will continue for longer periods of time.

You're naive if you think bros & friends can't provide me anything.
@Shiningtempest Come back to this thread in 10 years and you will realize I'm right. All your friends won't give a crap about you by then. They're too busy with their kids and families.
My friends care about me more than some lousy love interest.
@Shiningtempest That's only for right now though. The real people who have your back is your family.
Wrong, bond with my loyal bros means lot more to me than a family.
@Shiningtempest Obviously you've got no life experience. Live and learn
Then, I will prove you wrong that my friends will be there to help me when I need help.
@Shiningtempest Lets see about that in 10 years.
You are unaware about the true power of the bond between me and my bros.
The older I become the more I actually see this phrase in play. Especially with the 55 and older.
Really? I've heard it less and less!
Yes, I have been strangely hearing more often lately. Not a phrase I have ever used... seems tacky.
I agree with the idea of a homie-hoe-stasis as in the photo you provided. A guy's close friends cater to different needs than a romantic partner does, but they're both important.
Wrong, a guy's close friends are more important than any relationship.
I have never believed in "bros before hoes", for me it has always been partner before everyone else.
I personally believe that people who value friends over their partners still have some growing up to do, and I would never date someone like that.
I get the sentiment. Dont abandon your friends when you're in a relationship.
Besides a good bf/gf is going to allow you to see your friends or hang out with them
It's not realistic as you get older. Sometimes your SO would have to come first especially if you see them as your future spouse.
Wrong, a loyal friend is more fulfilling than SO.
Women are generally going to be much more closer to their significant other than their friend. That's not even close. So the saying doesn't make sense other than to maybe high school age girls.
It’s bros before hoes meaning random bitches you hook up with when you’re young. Your wife isn’t a hoe she’s family therefore she comes first.
Wrong, friends comes first.
Oh hell no. Women will come and go, but a REAL MAN is the REAL PRIZE.
For most things, you just need to mind your own business - stay out of other peoples affairs.
And NEVER, and I mean NEVER EVER kiss and tell. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
this saying doesn't go against wives or girlfriends, only for women that aren't important to someone such as hoes, or women you just meet, believe it or not, there's people that change up as soon as they meet someone.

That is a very good pun.
I do think you should remember your mates if you get into a relationship... if you have mates and get into a relationship.
I don't know of it - what does it mean? Bonding with male friends more than with female, or?
When I was a teenager, I heard this expression amongst my friends who got a boyfriend and were suddenly nowhere to be seen. Girls would say "hoes before bros" and the opposite for males.
Oh, thaaaat.

I always thought it was said at bachelor parties and it dies there too
It is still friends before SO. having one person in your life can be very sad, but a bunch of friends are great.
Well your partner supposed be your nest friend as well as loner so in away it still is bro before hoes
@makirk45
Lovers can turn into enemies but friends are always friends. Divorce court is proof of that.
Once your married and especially if you have kids it is.
Still need to spend ample time with the boys. Iron sharpens iron and my wife doesn’t drag deer or shot gun brews so...
Haha, I've never really subscribed to that. Why would I choose a guy over girl that I could call my own at the end of the day if I'm not gay. doesn't make any sense. Lol
