I live in Atlanta. Whew, lots of bro dads here. Easy to spot, they frequent (and start) the many local breweries, or they “home brew” in their suburban garages and brag about it at work. They also take their dog everywhere, and are frequently seen pushing a kid stroller with a dog leash attached.

They are legends in their own mind.

1. Is wearing Vineyard Vines

2. Is over 35 years old and mentions his fraternity in normal conversation (I was in a fraternity - I just think talking about it is stupid)

3. Is coaching a practice while talking on his cell phone or doing work

4. Talks to me like he has known me since childhood. Don't call me 'dude' for instance.

This is a partial list. I can tell you that I can decide within about 45 seconds if I want to spend any time with you - there are a LOT of complete jackasses out there in the dad world.


Its a delicate balance. I don't want to talk exclusively about your kid, but I also don't want to hear about your job. I especially don't want you level jumping and talking to me about private things I save for people I have known for 15 or 20 years.


Wait...do they have growlers they refill at various breweries? I think Del Ray might fit the bill. They make sure everyone knows they have a rescue dog?

It’s more about male immaturity.

And insecurity about the fact they’ve entered a new phase of life, but can’t let go of their college frat-boy lifestyle.

But they are still “dads” - meaning they all somehow reproduced.

Yet still, they are NOT raising their boys as true feminists.

Any dude that uses alpha or beta to refer to other males is automatically homosexual.


But bro-dads really do use these terms. But they aren’t gay.

Because they are normally athletic, good looking and wealthy.

+1, the ones I've met are athletic in build, brown hair, and decent/younger looking.


Smells like toxic masculinity.

I think there are some in Loudon County, when I worked at a school out there I met a few bro dads.

They seemed sort of like the type who would get together with their guy friends often to golf or socially go out.
Very causal vibe, t-shirt, sunglasses and the most telling was how they speak. They don't speak professionally to you, more like a friend.
