[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 b#tches 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]

Since then, we had a little baby boy. I've completely adopted the Bro Dad lifestyle. We actually spent most of the spring in SoCal staying with my parents near the beach; it was an amazing place to take your kid. My little buddy ran on the beach path everyday, played in the sand, enjoyed watching the surfers and kiteboarders. We went to local playground daily and interacted with other Bro Dads, Cool Moms, and "little dudes." The hardest part of remote working was trying to keep East Coast hours....530am calls really suck.

Take me out of humid DC and back to SoCal immediately. Our lifestyle was so much healthier and my kid even got a base tan. I went weeks without wearing shoes. I've seen the light and it is glorious.[/quote]
