About a year ago, JAGT spotted a new trend among guys: the “bromance“. Also known as a guy crush, here’s our definition of a bromance from that original post:
A man crush isn?t technically a crush in the traditional sexual sense of the word. It?s more like looking to men with certain skills and talents as our leaders. To teach us their ways. Whether it?s the guy with the well paid job, the man who always gets the girls or even the guy with a cool sense of fashion and style.
Well, since we first spotted man crushes in the wild, having a ?bromance? has definitely become very trendy this year. Brody Jenner had his own reality show, ?Bromance? on MTV and the recent hit film, ?I Love You, Man? is still in the top 5 at the box office, grossing almost $50 million since its debut.
But do men outside of Hollywood really have ?bromances?? And do women actually want to date men that are in them? SpeedDate.com polled their members to see what they thought about this topic. It seems that not many men have had a ?bromance,? but even if they did, most women wouldn?t mind.
Here are the complete results:
MEN: Have you ever had a “bromance” with one of your male friends?
- 14% – Yes! We have a bond that nobody can break
- 47% – I?m close with my friends, but wouldn?t consider it a ?bromance?
- 37% – No way! I?m just a romance type of guy
WOMEN: Would you ever date a guy who was in a “bromance”?
- 45% – Sure, it?s great for guys be close to their friends
- 32% – Yes, but I would still think it was a little weird
- 23% – Absolutely not! I want his attention on me
So guys: if you’re ready to hop on that bromance bandwagon, go right ahead. The ladies won’t mind. And we won’t say anything either.
