WTF is "bro night"?

He strips you, lubes you up and places you belly down on a lazy susan in the living room. Then his friends come over to have some of his bro.

It means he's having a bunch of his straight friends over to do what he imagines to be straight guy things like play poker or watch sports (which plenty of my gay guy friends like, too, but whatever...)

He may be tactfully hinting that you should make yourself scarce, which would offend me, but whatever...

If you're gay, why on earth would you be at home on Friday night?

But here's the Urban Dictionary definition: "Bro-night is a night when a group of male friends get together to do something in the intentional absence of women.

"This is typically undertaken by a group of friends who are all in committed relationships, and wish to get away from womanly things, and eat pizza with their dude friends."

I'm always home on Friday nights. I'm very low-key.

[quote]He may be tactfully hinting that you should make yourself scarce, which would offend me, but whatever...

No, R2, he specifically said he and I were having a bro night.

Pizza is the only part of any of this that sounds remotely appealing.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood completely and projected.

If it's you and him, then good for you! I wish I were that close to my brothers.

Means he doesn't have a date so he's spending the evening at home with you!

You can alternate watching HGTV/Food Network with ESPN.

Have fun.

OP, just think of it as a "Sausage Fest."

It's a bunch of guys sitting on a couch playing videogames.

Pretty lame unless you have some weed.

Pre-lube.

Bro night is an expression of latent homosexuality so they can continue to reaffirm their heterosexuality.

Let's face it...all men, straight and gay, prefer the company of other men. The only reason straight men have to connect with women is for sex; otherwise, they wouldn't even do it.

Its like others have said it isn't that complicated. Just a bunch of guys hanging together and "being dudes".

It is nice that your brother clearly wants you to be involved, you should be open-minded and try to have fun rather than going in with a negative attitude.

[quote]Means he doesn't have a date so he's spending the evening at home with you!

He never has a date, yet he's never suggested anything like this before. I think it's very out of character. We simply do not hang out, unless you count the numerous times he invites himself onto the couch while I'm watching the Deen brothers, interrupting to ask inane questions like "Which one do you think is hot?" (He never remembers the answer.)

You're expected to procure a dashiki, rust bell bottoms, an afro wig (rainbow colors optional), and the movie "Waiting to Exhale". You can also put tinfoil on your teeth. You're probably going to help him clean his bong.

Or…

He had the gay incest nightmare again and this time he messed his shorts. You'll be expected to offer reassurance that he's way too fat to be gay.

This will not end well. Trust me.

Were you suddenly struck dumb in the middle of the conversation with your brother, OP? Because I know when I have a question about something someone has just told me, I ask them about it right then and there instead of running to Datalounge.

He probably just wants to share some time with his brother- you're close enough to share a house, but he must feel terribly lonely if you're always on DL.

This is being set up as an incestuous Extra Sensitive Topic

Depending on the crowd you are either in for a night of circle jerks, or a night of playing Smear the Queer.

Young urban hipster homos who define as "post-gay" don't have "dates" with one another.

They have "bro nights."

Same-sex dating is soooo 20th century.

It's when straight boys get together to rub cocks.

You've known him all your life. You live together. You couldn't ask?

My thoughts exactly, R21. This sounds like an Embellished Situational Tale.

It means they all wanna get drunk and screw each other

Nothing gayer than "bro night".

"Bro night", also referred to as "bros' without hoes", is when straight guys get falling down drunk and in the process of falling down stick their penises in their bro's hole.

Surprise!

precisely R10... as many on here have noted for years... gay men are the evolutionary equivalent of advanced males who have developed the immune response to fermones... unfortunately our hetero brothers are still immune deficient and can be subjugated by the matriarchal hegemony... we should minister to them when ever possible it is NOT their fault.

r16 is right (well, not about the DL part). He's not gay and it's likely none of his buddies are either (maybe one).

Women are a lot of work and guys do generally prefer the company of other men.

Eat some pizza, drink some beer, watch them play videos or whatever. Participate, be a good host and have a good time.

It's really easy.

Pizza, beer, and mutual masturbation!

Dude, but serious, it sounds like he's just saying you two are going to hang out and have some (non-sexual) fun. Don't be one of those prissy gays who reads so much into everything that's uttered by a straight guy. Sheesh.

Just make sure the battery in the video camera is charged.

We'd hate for the battery to die just when things are getting good.

Your brother sounds like he wants to establish a friendship instead of just being blood relatives. Bro night is a start, that's good. I have two brothers but only one is a real friend.

It means no mincing around the house in a Hello Kitty tshirt while lip-synching the words to "Express Yourself."

Ok?

OP, stop acting like you're not a regular dude. The problem with too many gay guys is that they isolate themselves from mainstream males and act like they are some third gender or something. How can you not know what a "bro night" is? You need to mesh with mainstream guys. Go and enjoy bro night from now on.

Are you allowed to ask some of your own friends along too?

I think it could be fun!

Not implying a whole bad-porn movie scenario or anything like that - just that when I was a very young gayling, I had real problems communicating with straight guys. I wasn't into sports or cars - or girls! - so I felt a bit hamstrung and left out conversation-wise. And I felt uncomfortable in predominately male environments...

Now - love it!

Of an age where I'm no longer shy, but out and confident enough of myself and my life experience - and conversational abilities! - to talk to just about anyone.

And really value the company and interaction now of my straight male buddies!!

They're often really smart and talented - and seem to genuinely like talking to me too - probably because I don't talk about cars and football but ask them about themselves and their interests - jobs, families, etc - and they like to talk about all that. I get the feeling not many people bother asking them about themselves or their opinions that much.

The best part now is when they think they're gonna gross me out with some dirty joke or other - as if! Have got a far filthier mind - and have had far filthier experiences! - than any of them ever will. Always enjoy going one better back at them and seeing them look distressed - mwah!

But yeah - straight guys are great! (well, the ones I know are at least)

Hey r33, get a blog....

Yeah the "straight boys" get together and they act straight.

Then one of them happens to notice a picture of Joe Jonas on the computer and they put on his songs via YouTube.

Then one of the guys says: "If I drink one more beer I won't know what I'm doing."

And another says "Then by all means have another beer."

Then the guys put on a Zac Efron movie and one says, "It's hot in here, I think I'll take off my shirt."

Your brother's phone autocorrected It's actually "bra night." You will be hanging around in your underwear.

R26/MHB, why aren't you signing your posts anymore?

marat is gay..his flight in paris weas the purpsoe of meeting one of his lovers

How can someone be so isolated not to know what bro night is? It is obvious.

[quote]You need to mesh with mainstream guys.

Why?

I agree that it's nice you're brother wants to hang out with you. Don't make a big deal out of it. Just have a nice time and enjoy each other's company. If he asks which Deen brother you think is hot, he must be really accepting of you, which is also a great thing too. Seems like a nice guy. My brother is that way too ..and it's cool.

I'm expecting there will soon be a gay pron movie called 'Bro Night"

Robert Bly noted that because men do not bond with other men enough (outside of Army combat teams where the bond is only for mutual survival, not mutual admiration) they are always pestering women.

I noticed that when guys have guy friends and do things like "bro night" they are far more pleasant to be around.

Naturally, the straight women always try to storm the boys' tree houses. And they pester me because I do not wish to join in their assaults.

So it is lose-lose for me because:

1.) The men begin pestering me again

2.) The women begin to hound me for not joining their little social games.

OP --- how was 'bro night' ???

I don't need a "bro night" to be satified. I'm perfectly happy by myself.

Be prepared for surprise anal.

Do I need to wash my ass first before going to bro night?

why make a big deal about hanging out with other dudes? just act normal and chill out.

F

Bro-night is latent homosexuality, which they may never acknowledge or act upon. But hanging and bonding with your bros is a lot more satisfying than all the worthless effort of being with a female.

I just nominated r50 for f&f. Seriously.

R51. What's f&f? Seriously.

It's not that complicated. Have you never heard of "girls' night out." In most marriages I'm familiar with, the woman controls the social schedule and therefore can arrange a girls' night out. My guess would be that Bro Night is taking place on the same night as"girls' night out for at least one of the bros' girlfriend/wife.

F&F is flames and freaks, r52. I nominated r50 for f&f because of the misogyny in his post, and because of the statement that any male bonding is latent homosexuality. Seriously

"Bro night" sounds like fun. It's great that nowadays gay guys can take part in things like this with straight brothers, friends, etc. The posters here who are trying to read something sexual into it are sadly behind the times. Straight men seem to be totally comfortable with us being who we are. It seems to me that they respect our homosexuality, so we should respect their heterosexuality and enjoy hanging out with them. Enjoy OP, and let us know how it went.

Wow

OP, be sure that you invite your nephew to the event. You know, the nephew who has biceps bursting through his too tight athletic t-shirts, a broad chest that narrows to a V at his trim waist, and thighs the size of tree trunks. The one who gets buzzed on just one beer, and gives you lingering hugs.

Post-gay = their copies of Tom Of Finland XXX are shipped by Amazon.

[quote]what he imagines to be straight guy things like play poker or watch sports (which plenty of my gay guy friends like, too,

But your gay friends who watch sports only do it to giggle and make comments about the player's packages and asses.

r59, grow up, dude.

F&F is flames and freaks, R52. It's supposed to be for the homophobes, like the hate-mongering AIDS troll, who come here to attack gays. Since R54 is totally misusing the F&F flagging, it's time for everyone to nominate him for F&F simply for his supercilious flagging. Seriously.

The last "bro night" I attended was the night Princess Diana was in the car crash. When the TV coverage went from "Princess Diana Seriously Injured" to "Princess Diana Has Died," I screamed like a little girl. I haven't been asked back to any "bro nights" since.

Just be a dude, bro

There was never an update on this. :(

Hmmm

Circle jerk.

Barbra Streisand marathon.

There is always some latent homo grappling- it's kind of the centerpiece of the night after a tiresome amount of drinking!

Bro night is when several Bernie fans get together and raise $27 and send to me in behalf of my hubby, the next President. That change from pizza and beer fests add up.

Stay for a little ass grabbing, but try and leave before all conversation is distilled down to "Dude", "Yo, Dude" and the ever popular "Fuck you, Dude".

The only other topic of conversation- "Fuck that cunt, she wouldn't blow me, she's probably a dyke!"

Ass grabbing is so huge among bros right now

Who is the fucktard who bumped a thread from 2012 to post that lame comment?

He calls himself a "ZaddyBro", R72.

You are an idiot OP. You are also not a man by the looks of it.

Ask your brother you idiot. No one can know for sure what he is talking about except him. Not anyone on DL would know for sure.

The OP is probably dead. The original post is from 2012!
