?????Bro dad????? really?

Bro Dads are douche bags.

Fat, pasty, horn rimmed glasses, has a sad political podcast, has a parenting mantra he repeats to his kids like "calm voices and kind words", brags abouts his kids Duolingo progress in Mandarin.

What is the typical DCUM-dad? Because that’s like the antithesis of the Bro-dad, right?


My take:

Early 40’s. PhD or JD. Works in public policy or nonprofit. Hasn’t been in direct sunlight since 2014 but owns lots of Patagonia clothing. Prefers his kids to play phone apps about fishing rather than take them fishing because fish are scary. Pays someone else to work on his eBike, which he doesn’t ride because it’s so hot outside. Knows the daily schedule of WAMU 7 days a week. Thinks taking the kids out for kale smoothies is something they enjoy.

It’s terrible. Dads in their 30’s who are into doing stuff with their kids. It’s just awful. The shame of it.


I swear, this forum really is the worst people in the world - and I come here every few days to remind myself people like the PP exist among us.

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.

It's bad to be athletic, good looking and wealthy? Are people this depressed that they can't even stand well rounded people?

It's not inherently "toxic masculinity," but being wealthy is a bad thing yes. You cannot serve God and Mammon.

Who do you serve?

Breweries?!? This is horrible!

The horrible Germans do this too! They set up these alcoholic “beer gardens” and put kids playgrounds right in them!

It’s horrific.

The prior poster's take is about 20 years late.

This is still one of my favorite DCUM threads. I re-read it from time to time (especially first 15 pages) to laugh my ass off.
