Typical SoCal Bro Dad:
-Drives a lifted 4x4 pick-up truck with a Monster Energy sticker on the back window, blasting Sublime or System of a Down
-Always sporting a Hurley baseball cap with a flat rim
-A plaid Billabong button up shirt and dark colored pants are what he wears to "dress up" for holiday cards
-Vans sneakers
-Owns a few pairs of Dickies shorts
-"Vacations" consist of going to Glamis for off-roading, camping at Pismo Beach, or heading to Big Bear to snowboard on 6 inches of man-made snow in the freestyle park
-Constantly bitches about "how crowded SoCal has become" and un-ironically throws out a bit of casual racism by blaming "the Mexicans"

I've yet to find similar Bro Dads anywhere else in the U.S. It's a bizarre combination of privilege, Peter Pan syndrome, being culturally stuck in the late 1990s.

Actually there's lots of men like this in Virginia Beach.

Fascinating. What do these people do for a living? What are their wives and houses like?

Lots of them work in small and mid-sized family-owned businesses, especially in the construction trades. They hire lots of "the Mexicans" to do the hard labor while they/their fathers count the money. A lot of them f#cked around for a few years after high school, went to CC or CalState school part-time and got a "business" degree, and are taking over the reins of the modestly lucrative companies built by their dads.

Forget Hollywood or Silicon Beach, real estate is truly the lifeblood of Southern California. Everyone has someone in their family who is a licensed contractor, house flipper, mortgage originator, RE agent, landlord, or plumbing/electrician working on new developments.

Otherwise, a lot of the "bro dads" work for action sports companies - surf wear, outdoor gear, etc. A lot of the famous surf companies have their headquarters in Orange County. Basically working on lifestyle brands.

Laughing hard...my cousin in CA is in his 40s but is an exec at an outdoor sports company. Wife Is a SAHM. Two kids. Former fraternity president.

Lots of Billabong, Quicksilver clothes, Vans, riding their kids on their Beachcruiser handlebars. Almost everyone had some kind of boat-so weekends drinking beer, hanging out on the water while the kids played. There was usually some kind of festival-music, oyster, crab that people hang out and congregate. the dads would go surfing and the kids would almost always have surf lessons and a skateboard. the older kids would have learned hackey-sack from their bro dads. The town where I grew up, these type of dads came from all walks of life, from lawyers to construction workers. If you were part of this lifestyle, then you all hung out together. It is a weird attractive mix between arrested development and a laid-back lifestyle. Not a lot of deep thought but somehow it worked.

I thought OP's description sounded like half the guys I know back home. I'm shocked that so many posters are unfamiliar with them.

I just posted about the east coast version, and it's not at all like the west coast. Bro dads here are the wealthy, obnoxious, loud dads of athletic, Landon-type boys. Not necessarily private school, but usually. They have beautiful wives, beautiful homes, take multiple fabulous vacations per year, own large dogs, and absolutely love that their sons are also bros. In fact, they're proud of that fact. They let their kids have parties at the house, and provide the alcohol, sometimes even drinking with the kids. They buy their sons Jeeps when they turn 16. They're often portly, and may not have been athletic themselves back in the day, but they sure like to pretend they were.

What about their daughters? Or is raising girls purely the domain of Dad Bros' wives? And do the wives fulfill this obligation primarily by buying large matching bows for each one of their daughters' outfits, do their darndest to make sure their little girls look like they could have stepped out of a high end children's clothing catalogue at any given moment of any given day, lecturing their daughters on what is & is not considered to be ladylike behavior while allowing their sons to run wild, & signing their daughters up for ballet &/or "cheer" at the earliest possible age? Or am I thinking of the wives of a different type of dad stereotype?

In any case, do Dad Bros' daughters also get jeeps when they turn 16? I'm pretty sure you can get them custom painted in various pastel colors these days...

the bro dad daughters I know don't 'cheer'. They play lax, fh, or tennis at a high level and look like lululemon models.

Unless they are Bible Belt Dad Bros in which case their daughters may very well regularly show up to cheer practice looking like partially gift wrapped lululemon models.

I have always dressed surfy.. Oneill, grayers, descendent of thieves, penguin,quick silver, tailorbird, new school ...

Grew up in Potomac but every summer at the beach ( I was a beach lifeguard and still surf). I knew Darren Star in HS and he based Beverly Hills 90210 on Churchill so I think Potomac had kind of a California feel at the time. I remember our quarterback senior year transferred in from LA and all my friends surfed or skateboarded.

I like the clothes.

Obviously, as you are still talking about them at your geriatric age.

They are still my best friends and we still surf and fish together.[/quote


Bro dad. Are you available ?

They're BruhDuhs.

Age 23, jumping in beach sand chanting "Bros, Bros, Bros." 5 years later, lamenting his daddy status, while pretending that his ever-widening wife is attractive.

That's mean^^^

Bro dads aren't mean... They're hopeful.
