[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm from Southern California (Orange County area) and there's definitely a type of Bro Dad here. Basically, they dress like high school surfer boys but they are in their late 30s and have two kids.

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.[/quote]

I'm also in OC and I'm hysterically laughing! Yes all this exactly! It's crazy how many of them there are. So many in Huntington Beach especially [/quote]

YEP. I have family in Socal, and when I visit it is like a BUBBLE of these dads (and moms). They don’t realize that I can see right through it, or that 95% of the country is unlike them.

[b]And speaking of real estate ^, whatshisface from Flip or Flop is a perfect example, but him in a more specific subset perhaps?[/b]

Now, for those of us in the other 95% of the county, these dads exist but they have a different local flavor.

Here’s my experience:
-we already have a California bro dad described
-Florida: sports, working out, muscles. Clothing: super slick, good grooming
-nova: nfl, beer, making fun of people. Clothing: not fashionable. Mostly polos?  Subset: golf
-Utah: uggghh among the worst bro dads. So many. VERY similar to California bro dads
-Oklahoma: grilling and/or barbecue, college football, straight money, huge house.

So, while there can be a local flavor, just generally take the above lists, and combine them, and you have bro dad.

Bro dad is more complete with hot wife, but not required as long as she is trendy.

Bro dad is way more complete when kid also wears skater/cool outfits and goes along with the cool attitude and activities.

Great call. Bristol/Aubrey from Flip or Flop are your typical SoCal Bro Dad/Mom couple. He even has a sleeve of tattoos! Total Bro Dad  :lol:
