[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just in SoCal for a week for work and visiting my family in OC.

Now that I'm a bit older and we are trying for a kid, I totally get the appeal of the Bro Dad lifestyle. The weather just naturally pushes you to this outdoor-centric Bro Dad life. Saw so many dads skateboarding or surfing with their sons this past week at the beach.

That said, the Bro Dad life really reinforces gender norms. I saw exactly zero Bro Dads engaging in one-on-one activities with their daughters. Lots of wives of Bro Dads had the daughters at the shopping centers, however.

I'm still conflicted. It's my destiny to be a Bro Dad, but at the same time it's a bit shallow. I did, however, buy a new pair of Billabong shorts to wear in DC lol[/quote]

Dude! If you have a daughter, you can still bro out with her. No matter how stereotypically "girly" she may be, you'll be able to find an activity where you two connect. It could be surfing, martial arts, sports, woodworking, whatever. For example, I'm what most what characterize as girly - I like clothes, pink, flowers, unicorns, all that. But I also love military & nautical history. You can find that common ground. We have faith in you, future bro Dad.[/quote]
