Disclaimer: There’s probably going to be a huge bulk of generalisation within this post!
Before I go into any in-depth ‘analysis’ of what this species of a girl really is, please take all of this fluff with a pinch of salt. I am in no way encouraging labelling of yourselves in any way.
I’m not sure where this entire mindset popped up from. Take this for an example:
You: How come you don’t drink with girl friends?
Guy Friend: Shy. I can’t talk to most of them. They’re like a whole different species.
You: Except for me and (another girl friend) right? Cause we’re too bro?
Guy Friend: Yeah.
If you, as a girl, have ever had one or more of such conversations and not forgetting if you have always felt more comfortable associating with guys anyway (less drama), you would unknowingly have fallen into this category.
(At this point I would like to take the time to say I appreciate all my girl-friends and I love you all, please don’t bash me up in school)
Yes, maybe some of us girls do understand guys’ mindsets most of the time, and for some reason they open up to us about all sorts of things (girl problems in particular). They treat us like one of their own which is both a good and a bad thing.
We fit into almost all of their conversations; be in sports, or reckless outdoor adventures, even sex (sometimes) when they’re all letting out their sexual jokes. Don’t lie to yourself, you’re laughing along. Without trying, you just get them, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Then again, the other half of you is still very much a girl.
“Bro girls” love being able to be associated as one of the guys.
But it’s a higher risk of getting “friendzoned“or “brozoned” whichever works best.
Ultimately, guys are still guys. And they like girls who are girls. Do you see where this entire post is headed to?
This gif probably describes every ‘bro girls’ life. Always the wingwoman, never THE woman.
It’s quite common to hear “eh, you got any girl friends to intro to me anot?” when it comes to being friends with guys. And we’re all smiles on the outside but inside, we’re really “hi, hello, hey, you’re cute. And last time I checked, I was a girl. I’m here, NOTICE ME DAMMIT.”
Basically, as a “bro” girl, we are sometimes so noticeable to the point that the haze is clearer than people actually being able to notice me. Yes, sarcasm.
Guys, sometimes even “bro” girls want to be treated like girls. Flowers, dinner, romantic things that well, we always tell you we don’t care for but deep down we really do? That, and maybe a round of Halo or Modern Warfare together just chilling at home. To think about it, “bro” girls are the best of both worlds. They’re all you ever want in a girl, with less drama.
And if you guys were wondering if this term was a legit one? It is. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Bro-chick. So girls, if you feel that you consider yourself a “bro” girl, it’s not always a bad thing. You’re a unique individual. Channel that inner swag.
