This seems like an accurate summary!

My husband calls them “Oakley bros” and can’t stand them. But his definition includes that they’re all the kind of guy who is 100% sure he knows the answer to everything but is usually slightly wrong. There’s an element of unearned confidence and trying to one-up other men. The choice of sunglasses is just a convenient way to spot them coming.


Oakleys are definitely in the bro-dad starter pack. A Vineyard Vines and backwards ball cap are the next steps. If you want to go all in, skip prior steps and by a Jeep.


I’ve one kind of Jeep or another since I was 14. I’m 51 now.

DH here.

I brew my own beer at home, and , yeah - I live in the suburbs. What’s wrong with that?




Beer brewing is a red-flag for likely bro-dad.


Home brewing Kombucha is a red-flag for a likely hippster-dad.

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.

Isn't that what I said?

I prefer hipster dad. Bro dad and hipster dad are both a lot of fun for their kids. I am grateful to the bro dads who play games with my kids and the hipster dads who take my kids to concerts or teach them something new. My kids especially like joking dad. We have a neighbor who is constantly cracking jokes and the kids get a big kick out of him, even as tweens.


Everyone agrees: dad jokes are the best!

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

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


Thank goodness.

Seriously, why don’t they go and commit crime and father multiple out of wedlock children. Thank they’re always taking up parking spots while watching their kids play sports and teaching them how to fish. What’s wrong with these dad bros?

Devoted family men. Walking the dog and baby? What's next? Taking the kids to their games? Are you all jealous of because your lazy husbands don't help out at home whatsoever leaving you to cry about the unequal mental load?
