Yep, a true test of a Bro Dad in Southern Calif is: does he have a cabin in Big Bear?
Does he have a tattoo?
Does he have a pick-up?
Does he have a goatee or a beard?
Is he hot? (You can only be a Bro Dad if you're good looking)
Is his wife hot?
Did he go to one of the Cal States?
Does he live in the same town he grew up in, or nearby?
For vacation does he take his family to Maui?
Does he coach his kids's Little League or Softball team?


Wow, must be pretty lucrative to be in lifestyle game since they don't seem very ambitious but live pretty lavish


A lot of them have reasonably well-pff parents, work for their dads or took over their dads' business, and use their parents' cabins in Big Bear. I'm the SoCal beach town poster. My neighbors are an older couple with a cabin in Big Bear their bro dad kids and grandkids use. They funded their grandkids' college educations at Cal State schools. They fund a lot of other stuff including Hawaii and Mexico vacations.


Not sure Big Bear is bro-ish, but whatever.


Not for younger bros, but DEFINITELY for the Bro Dads.


Absolutely. Bro Dads love Big Bear, and Mammoth!


New Year's in Big Bear or Mammoth with other Bro Dad families!

PP here. I knew a lot of people on the Water Polo team in high school in SoCal. Most of them became Bro Dads.

Southern Californian here in mid-30s. So I know a lot of Bro Dads. Christmas cards from Bro Dads feature family shots in Hawaii or Big Bear, inevitably.

NP you sound unhinged , you tried to get into some weird pedestrian patriotism about Jeeps saying they're USA and got reminded they're no longer as USA as flag huggers like you think and now you've pivoted into Italian sexiness and Dutch copulation. Bizarre I tell ya , bizarre

Yeah, he doesn't fit the Bro Dad's in my area. Bro Dads are good looking and fit, and never loopy or out-of-the-box. Some are blue collar/middle class, some are successful... there is a socioeconomic range. But, even within that range they have similar outlooks.

Someone asked about pot. Some do, but they're also really protective of their homes and communities and don't want that around. Maybe on vacations with buddies. Also, some Bro Dad's are religious or live pretty clean (thanks to their wives). They do drink a lot of beer though!

Anonymous wrote: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.


Yuck!

Yes! They’re so annoying. They’re married to the women with bottle blonde hair, lululemon attire, and drive huge black SUVs while talking on their cellphones.
