Announcement Sub Updates: Rules & Post Flair

8 Upvotes

Hey Bros!

I've gone through and updated the sub rules and the post flairs available. Here are the substantive changes you should be aware of:

RULES

  1. As previously noted, the NSFW rule was updated to include a prohibition on requests for nudist friends/chats.
  2. The Shitposting/Targeting rule has been updated to exclude any sort of harassment, bullying, or targeting, as well as all shitposting, spamming, or posting of any complaints that should be sent through ModMail.
  3. The "Age in Title" rule has been updated to just require the age somewhere in the post when that post is a request for bros. You will no longer receive a warning or removal for it not specifically being in the title.
  4. The prohibition on multiple posts has been amended to only disallow posting the same or substantially similar post within a one-week period. Users may post different types of posts as often as desired (so long as it does not become so incessant that it's spam).

POST FLAIR

Post flair will now be required on all posts. The new flair are:

  1. Looking for: Bromance - for posts seeking a long-term, serious platonic relationship.
  2. Looking for: Brollaboration - for posts seeking collaboration, support, or advice about a specific project or goal you have.
  3. Looking for: IRL Bro - for posts seeking only real-life bros for hangouts and meetups (it is helpful to include your location in these types of requests).
  4. Looking for: Online Bro - for posts seeking strictly online platonic relationships.
  5. Looking for: Short-Term Chat - for posts seeking a bro to help pass the time for a few hours or to just have a one-off chat.
  6. Question - for posts asking questions about brolationships or seeking advice.
  7. Discussion - for posts attempting to engage bros in discussions about brolationships and things related to them.
  8. Success! - for bros who successfully found the bro they were looking for and want to tell the story (please get the other person(s) permission before including specific usernames)

If you have any questions or concerns about these updates, please comment here or send a ModMail!

Happy Bro Hunting!

We just hit 8000 members! That’s a lot of bros!

To help keep up with the growing sub, we are looking to bring on additional bros as mods. Your main task would be to ensure the rules are being followed and help make this sub a safe and positive place for all bros!

If you’re interested, please send me a DM with some information about yourself and any information about your history modding on Reddit. And let me know why you think you’d be an awesome mod for r/NextBestBro!

Previous mod experience is preferred, but certainly not required!

Looking for: IRL Bro 45 NYC Looking for Local Bros and New Friends

• Upvotes

Typical professional guy here who works a demanding job and would like to find some new bro friends to hang out with, chat about work, life, commitments at home, fun things to do in the City and more. Some of my interests include gym, tennis, food/restaurants, travel, fashion, architecture and more.

I'm in my mid-40s, gay, asian american and looking for other guys interested in chatting and maybe even some IRL meets. Used to have some good guy friends who I'd meet up regularly in a nice bar and we'd chat for hours. It was great, but life happened and we gradually lost touch. Looking for that type of connection again.

Prefer local guys because I find that chat gets stale unless it leads to an IRL meet.

Married guy from the Midwest here looking for new bros.

I live in a somewhat rural area and between working long hours and being a dad, it’s been difficult to make new friends. Would be nice to have a friendship with solid, consistent chats.

Big into sports, especially college football. Enjoy the outdoors with hiking, biking and kayaking. Also working on house projects.

Open to chats here, snap or tele - whatever works best for you.

Looking for: Bromance 34M introvert looking for an extroverted bro

6 Upvotes

Hey! I’m a quiet introvert with a wide range of interests. I like cooking, hiking, gaming, banter, etc. I had a friend that got me out of my shell. He reminded me of being a kid and hanging out, no pressure. Video games and laughing at stupid guy jokes. Then he got fired and things got weird.

Anyway, it made me realize that having a guy friend like that was actually kinda cool. Full disclosure, I am gay. I have plenty of female friends, but that can get kinda exhausting, ya know? So here I am, online, looking for a bro.

I also let life get to me and am looking to get my ass into gear, working out and whatnot. Ideally, my new bro would feel keep me motivated/accountable.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or you wanna chat and see if there’s anything there.

Looking for: Bromance M50s North NJ. We all carry a lot and don’t talk about it, a best bro can change that.

1 Upvotes

50s, Montclair area. Married, flexible schedule, quiet, a bit nerdy, a bit blue collar. Got my act together. Eagle Rock hikes, mountain bike, gym, F1, dog walks, house projects. Been meaning to fish. I have a ridiculous collection of lures. Not a large one. Just ridiculous.

Age, race, gym bro, nerdy, blue or white collar, whatever, doesn't matter if the connection is there.

You don’t have to have it figured out. That’s kind of the point. Down to earth, good company over a beer or coffee, easy to talk to, and fine sitting quiet. That’s enough.

If this sounds like you, DM me. We’ll figure out the rest.

Looking for: Bromance 26M | Looking for a Bro to Talk About Life, Goals, and Everything In Between

1 Upvotes

Hey bros,

I’m a development worker from the Philippines who’s currently navigating a season of growth, uncertainty, and self-discovery. Between work, career ambitions, graduate school applications, and trying to become a better version of myself, I’ve realized it would be great to have a bro to talk to regularly.

I’m looking for someone who’s open to genuine conversations, not just small talk, but discussions about life, relationships, career goals, personal development, travel, culture, fitness, books, or even random late-night thoughts.

A little about me:

Interested in public service, social development, and leadership
Loves traveling and learning about different cultures
Coffee shop enthusiast
Currently exploring master’s degree opportunities
Enjoys meaningful conversations and hearing different perspectives

You don’t have to have everything figured out. In fact, if you’re also trying to make sense of life, work through challenges, or chase big goals, we’ll probably get along.

Open to bros from anywhere in the world. Whether you’re looking for a long-term friendship, an accountability buddy, or simply someone to check in with from time to time, feel free to send me a message.

Looking forward to meeting some awesome people!

Intro

Just a guy who loves life. Happy to talk about anything and everything. Hit me up! Ideally, someone married and fit - can talk about anything and nothing off the table.

I love music, concerts, traveling, movies, and animals. How about yourself?

I would love for you to say hello if you have an interesting story to tell. A face pic would be important so I know who I am speaking with - happy to also send one. Let’s make this easy.

A little ice breaker: two of these are completely false. The other eight are things I’ve actually done, survived, or somehow lived to tell the tale.

  1. ⁠I’ve been to more than 50 countries — and apparently still haven’t learned to stay home for holidays.
  2. ⁠I’ve been to more than 100 live concerts — because apparently one concert is never enough.
  3. ⁠I’ve appeared in a movie — Hollywood, unfortunately, has not called since.
  4. ⁠I’ve dived with great white sharks — voluntarily putting myself on the menu.
  5. ⁠I’ve swum with whales — thankfully, none decided to swallow me.
  6. ⁠I’ve been bitten and injured by a dog — a reminder that not every dog thinks I’m a good person.
  7. ⁠I’ve been charged by an elephant — and discovered that “stand your ground” is great wildlife advice.
  8. ⁠I’ve been licked by a giraffe — surprisingly, giraffe tongues are not as cute as they sound.
  9. ⁠I’ve been nibbled by a lion — because apparently getting close enough for a photo wasn’t adventurous enough.
  10. ⁠I’ve been swiped by a bull — and lived to add it to my list of questionable life decisions.

So… which two are the lies? And, more importantly, what does that say about the other eight?

Looking for: Online Bro 25 m from south london - hmu let’s be friends? :)

0 Upvotes

hi there! i’m 25m from around south london, and due to my closest friend having moved away, i’m feeling pretty lonely recently. i’d love to make new friendships, aged 21+ only please! (face pic upon request/on my profile if that matters to you!)

some things i enjoy: psychology, sociology, occultism, tarot, astrology, reading, writing, video games (stardew, sims, minecraft, bg3, divinity 2, pretty much any visual novel), cooking, working out, swimming, badminton and long, thought-provoking discussions!

ultimately i’d love to strike up a good friendship, i don’t mind about distance as i’m somewhat agoraphobic (working through my social anxieties though), and it would just be nice to have a buddy i can speak to throughout the day. i am currently doing a distance masters degree and only work part-time so i’m relatively available at varied hours (:

i am lgbtq+ so if this is an issue for you i’d kindly ask not to interact, otherwise drop me a message and let’s get to know each other!

27 year old travel medic moving to Wichita Falls TX next week looking for community and friends! Being a traveler it's hard to maintain in person friendships so I figured I'd look for some virtual bros! Definitely open to meeting up and hanging out one day if the vibe is right tho!

I play a few video games but I'm not gonna lie I'm not any good at any of em lol. Bonus points if you're a non judgmental gym bro because I'm tryna lose a little bit more than I already have haha. Hit me up if I sound like your kinda guy!
