[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me, the east coast version of a bro dad seems to be one that was absolutely in a frat in college, is really into the athletic prowess/success of their sons (having them sign to play D1 sports in college - or better yet, at a service academy - is their dream), is really into their man cave/sports time/cracking open a beer with the guys, and probably has the physique of someone who simultaneously works out and drinks a lot of beer. They also probably drive a pick up truck or nice SUV.[/quote]

You think aspiring to a service academy makes a kid or his/her dad a bro, or is kind of douchey?

Honestly, this description -- college-educated and a former member of a frat, likes sports and encourages that pursuit in his son, enjoys socializing with friends and drinks beer -- sounds like a LOT of normal, upper middle class guys. Is that such a bad thing? [/quote]

It seems to me that it's only a bad thing if the dads treat the kids as props to call attention to themselves and their own lifestyle.  If they are having fun, and their kids are thriving, then it's sour grapes to complain about them.   [/quote]
