I'm a mom and have a serious aversion to "bro dads." We used to run into one all the time whose kids were the same age as ours. The bro dad would *ALWAYS* ask us/our kids why they weren't playing football. His sons, of course, all played and he coached them. Our boys were not athletic at all, so you can imagine how uncomfortable they felt when this idiot would always ask them the same question. Bro dads: please keep your obnoxious behavior under wraps. Read the room.

I’m a Bro Dad. Had a great day with my boys. All three of us went fishing early in the morning, then older son and I went to the range for some shooting, then I spent the afternoon helping younger son work on his car. Grilled some steaks for dinner, movie night after that. Great day all around.

This is literally a page out of my own dad’s book from like 20 years ago when I was 12. My dad is amazing because he recognized me for wanting to do “boy” stuff like fishing and hunting and working on cars, and he ran with it. I will treasure the times he took me fishing or let me help him work on the car or took me hunting instead of insisting I do “girl” stuff. It was the best thing that ever happened to me.

DP. This isn't at all what I think of as a "bro dad." This is just being a good dad.

I’m female and call my son “Buddy”. Maybe it’s because that was his granddad’s nickname; maybe it’s because it just fits.

The real bro dads want little to nothing to do with their girls. I see it in my neighborhood. Also I grew up with a pack of brothers. I work in a male industry. At parties in the neighborhood it might as well be the 1800s. All the women are together and the stereotype is true. They always end up gossiping about whatever neighbors aren't there. The dads are off together and will be bugged if I'm hanging with them.

That's just a random idiot.

If I don't know the person's name, I address every male(young or old) as "Buddy"
If I could think of a word that would apply to every female I don't know, I would use it.

Sounds like a redneck dad to me

Or a rural hick. Can almost hear the banjos . . .

It is like a dad who wears a bra? Like the Seinfeld episode?

Why were your boys not athletic at all ?

The bro dads in my neighborhood drive expensive, black, pick-up trucks, grill a lot of meat, talk a lot about bourbon, drink too much and brag about their vacations.
