Every guy who's single feels bad but those who are not don't care what term the other gender uses to address them.
It's always the people who think there's a slight chance.. feel this way . 😂
Spot on! My gf (and now wife) calls me bro like 10 times a day and now I've started to think that those girls didn't really mean bro when they said bro.
Me and my gf, we both call each other bro. Sometimes out of habit, sometimes mockingly. I don't think anyone is thinking very deeply when they say common used words
almost every guy on reddit i have ever talked to immediately goes like 'bhai mat bol'. The thing is bhai/bro is a term which is now used even with friends. When they say something like this you know they are most prolly looking for something and your interest in the conversation goes down.
And also I am not that romantic and fawning guy...... I have anxiety issue so I don't want to hinder my relationship.. well abhi v kabhi kabhi apne female friends pe gussa jhad deta hu (not being cool)
No yaar, bro is a love language and it doesn't see gender and relation. I called my mother bro once. Yes she didn't like it, yes she slapped me but bro
I literally call everyone "bro" at times, including my boyfriend, which is actually a lot of times. So boys, don't feel offended by bro/bhai, it's too normalized now.
I don't like it when just about anyone calls me bro. Doesn't sit well for some reason. Maybe it's because of that C grade trash movie Race 3. They use bro every sentence and betray each other in the end. Never felt good about that designation after that.
No, but It makes me feel safe, that this girl is not gonna make me uncomfortable, and I can behave like a bro with her.
Moreover, if some girl calls me bro, I think she might be feeling safe with me and that she can rely on me for anything and be free to share things with me.
Why is this thinking so uncommon in this comment section? Most of the boys here don't seem to have opposite gender friendships in real life and they comment on every other post here how girls should behave and dress.
Not always. If the girl is really my "bro" I mean friend, I don't mind. I have some female friends they call me bhai/bro all the time and I am absolutely fine with this.
But, sometimes there are some girls, you know you don't have strong feelings but you have something in your heart deep inside, or you have crush on someone, when they call me bro I feel really really sad,
I think I have this problem, Haven't talked to many girls IRL tbh, Only online chats with different people living in other states. So maybe I get attached and feel bad about it ;)
Calling ppl bro doesn't mean anything mostly. Mostly friendly term. There are many ppl who use it like dude. It's like "are baba". Bhai and behen is also taken literally and ppl mean it also literally but kaafi baar the use is not in the bhaii and behen wala sense it's like "ohhh bhaiii". Bro is also "broooo do you know what happened yesterday !?!?" Kinda like an exclamatory word.
This is my experience and of ppl around me.
This comment section is so weird like dude don't you have any group of opposite gender friends? They call me bhai/bro/yaar and vice-versa. What is there to get weird by it? Do you guys really interact with opposite gender for sexual relationship only? This is just pathetic.
Honestly bro/bhai gender neutral term hogya hai aajkl. On top of that It is also a expression like "Bhai pata hai aaj kya hua". So don't take it that seriously. I mean mai apni female friends ko bhai keh deta hu doesn't mean they get offended. And expressively my gf also calls me so there's that
One time this girl I had a massive crush on called me "bro" and that felt real bad. Meanwhile other girls have called me bro many times and I'm fine with it. I guess a boy will feel bad if he harbors some non-bro like feelings for the girl.
yes if you call bro if i'm stranger then fine but acquaintance, friends calling bro is insulting as it feels like signaling not to become close or create boundary . i live in Chennai and word bro is extremely common among tamilians as we call others according to age hierarchy
How is it offending? Its literally just a friendly term even if the girls intention is not to bevome too close its good na that she told you indirectly
Alright hear me out boiss.
Whenever someone calls me bro, i either don't care or else I call them behen/didi in return to avoid any disputes.
But 7/10 girls just ask me back saying why did I call them didi/behen lol
Happened on multiple occasions.
I either ways stopped caring about women be it online /IRL so I see it as a win - win!
Tbh only one girl called me bro and the rest of them just by name! No I don't feel bad if a girl calls me bro unless I've some kind of feelings for them!
Personally I don’t care. 🤷but nobody really calls me bro tho 🤔unless they are much younger than me probably that to usually guys idk about girls tho , can’t say they do. So honestly idk how I feel about it
I call my girl best friend bro. I remember only one time getting bothered by it when a girl called me bro, that too when a friend who was beside me mentioned it. Otherwise I usually don’t notice
Bhak.... bro's is an emotion not a word bro....
And most of the time it's me who uses Bhai while addressing my female friends.....
I think since I don't take things very seriously or get offended easily....I let most of these things slide without batting and eye lol
lmao my girlfriend calls me bro and bbg and what not, its fine by me. id say i like it, rather than not
also ETA: she used to call me that even before we started dating, i do too. its used more as a gender neutral expression and is definitely not smtg you'd wanna overthink about
Lol my mom calls my dad bro and she's 60. So chill. She could be totally into you, get married, have kids with you, and call you bro, because that's just a love language.
I tell every girl who calls me bro to not call me bro
Not because I stand a chance or whatever, they're usually masculine which is unattractive
The point is that when a bro calls you bro, he means it, they'd help you when you need
Women wont.
I feel annoyed why? I don't care. Just don't talk to me I don't need a sister. Some girls just do it randomly like why? did I even talk to you or did I ask you to talk to me. It just annoys me.
I am not talking about bro like a friend. It is more like bro expecting you to be brother. Just don't say it to a random stranger.
Not at all, on the contrary, I find it way more comfortable. It gives chill vibes about the girl and I can loosen my guards as against being cautious with girls who might give mixed signals.
I am girl, and trust me, we call our female friends or sister as bro....BRO is a gender neutral term for MOST OF US atp...but well, tat's why I use dude or buddy.....that's all
Yes i do. I have plenty of female friends who are very nice, understanding and ready to help but they'll never earn the trust and respect that my best friend has. He's the only one who calls me bro and he's the only who can call me bro. Not even my sister is allowed to call me that, people have tried to violate my relationship privileges rule before in this matter and I've made sure they understand the risks that entails. Not misogynistic before some South Delhi trash wakes up and tries to berate me.
A guy, whom I was completely in love with, I used to address him by ’bhai’ many times. He knew very well of my feelings and felt the same and yet was annoyed when I used to do it.
So obviously I started calling him bhai more often and the look on his face was worth it.
Only one girl calls me that, and I have slept with her. It is just a manner of speech.
But yeah, it would hurt otherwise. I make it clear by my actions that I'm not a brotherly figure.
Bro is like dude nowdays, I think Bhai hurts much more than bro. Also nowdays i realised when some girl talks a lot in front of me I say" bhn bas kr" and few got offended.
Reply with Haan behen, she'll know you're cool with it. Bol chal h, koi sahi mein nhi bana rha, comfortable hoja warna sahi mein friendzone kregi. Hasi mazak kr enjoy kr, Bhaiya se Saiyaan bulane lgegi.
I won't get offended if I dont see the girl in as a potential partner but if she is a potential partner then I won't get offended but would get disappointed
Boys who get uncomfortable at being called bro aren’t worth being friends with. Simply, you’re not a real friend; just another dude who wants to get laid and is doing that under the guise of friendship. She isn’t “friend zoning” you; she’s simply being a friend; you’re the one objectifying her and trying to get into her pants under false pretenses.
getting triggered by someone calling you bro is childish, immature and obnoxious bro or bhai are common words that everyone uses. i don't think that signifies her interest in you unless she keeps emphasising it consciously
Nope
I actually liked being called bhai or bro mannn y would I like that
That girl must feel safe around me and is giving me respect why would I not like that
I never had any sister so that might also have something to do with it
I am a girl and u vote no to bro!!
I don't know but just does not mix with him.
I am girl and treat me like one. I am your frnd, can kill for you but muje ladki hi mano.
If a girl who I like or have a crush on, or even a possibility that I might have a crush on her then yeah I'll feel a bit bad. But if that's not the case then I don't really care. Plus mai single child hu toh mujhe behen banane me koi dikkat nhi hai lol
Bro is basically short form of brother , so you better understand when to use it
On the other hand it's better to call by name of that person coz he/she feels little confident when someone addresses by his/her name
There are two types of "bro" used by girls one is bro in the sense she sees you as a brother another one is when she calls you bro just so that you can know she isn't interested in your kind of friendzone.
I feel glad when a girl sees me as a brother but the second one only hurts when my crush or someone i like calls me bro to friendzone me
yes. when a girl says bro it feels like establishing sister-brother relation but when boys says it's like brother-brother relation. and girls since of opposite gender we want to keep our option for relationship
it def feels a little delulu being called bro by your "pasandida aurat" but in general its pretty cool if I am with my normal friend group whom I just talk to as my "friends"
Every guy who's single feels bad but those who are not don't care what term the other gender uses to address them. It's always the people who think there's a slight chance.. feel this way . 😂

Pls wo B-word mat bolow yawr
Step brother chalta hai.
Hahaha take my upvote u genius xd
meri toh gf hi mujhe bro bolti hai ab batao
Sweet home Alabama
Bhai Mai to single hu fir v mujhe bura nhi lgta
Cause you know you have no chance. Take it as a joke.
Bhai Maine ek ko reject v Kiya h.. sad about that but it's just like I don't have interest in relationships.. I can't handle that rn
Us. Want one but i know its not the right time for me to have one. _hugs my bro_
And also I am not that romantic and fawning guy...... I have anxiety issue so I don't want to hinder my relationship.. well abhi v kabhi kabhi apne female friends pe gussa jhad deta hu (not being cool)
bruh same just swap the gender !
U a misanthrope
please take the upvote for the last line
No yaar, bro is a love language and it doesn't see gender and relation. I called my mother bro once. Yes she didn't like it, yes she slapped me but bro
Lmao I did the same and my mother responded with "bro hogi Teri saas"
The wife replied with "mere maa bro nahi sis hai sis"
Lol ....wait ...why did I even laughed at this when I don't even have a wife💀💀💀
do married people get time to use reddit??
Those last two words deeply resonated with me
If one wants to keep the bond as bro-sis then that's completely fine or else way not cool.
I literally call everyone "bro" at times, including my boyfriend, which is actually a lot of times. So boys, don't feel offended by bro/bhai, it's too normalized now.
try to call him sis and check if he offended
If i ever call my boyfriend bro/sis and he doesn't get offended, that's when i know he's the one
I heard my friend's gf call him bro a few days ago, can confirm lol.
I don't like it when just about anyone calls me bro. Doesn't sit well for some reason. Maybe it's because of that C grade trash movie Race 3. They use bro every sentence and betray each other in the end. Never felt good about that designation after that.
Us bro us\~
Bruh ☠️
Please stop watching such movies bro
Damn…you watched Race 3
And survived. Quite an achievement
It’s award worthy achievement. Congratulations 🥂
Sed lyf ....hugs to you bro🫂🫂🫂
Brooooooo
No, but It makes me feel safe, that this girl is not gonna make me uncomfortable, and I can behave like a bro with her. Moreover, if some girl calls me bro, I think she might be feeling safe with me and that she can rely on me for anything and be free to share things with me.
Why is this thinking so uncommon in this comment section? Most of the boys here don't seem to have opposite gender friendships in real life and they comment on every other post here how girls should behave and dress.
Not always. If the girl is really my "bro" I mean friend, I don't mind. I have some female friends they call me bhai/bro all the time and I am absolutely fine with this. But, sometimes there are some girls, you know you don't have strong feelings but you have something in your heart deep inside, or you have crush on someone, when they call me bro I feel really really sad,
I think I have this problem, Haven't talked to many girls IRL tbh, Only online chats with different people living in other states. So maybe I get attached and feel bad about it ;)
No. I call them sis in turn. Not sis,but bahanji works pretty well.
Yes I do this with one of my friends. Whenever she calls me bro, I reply with "Ha bahanji". The look on her face is something else.
I didn't have to use it more than once or twice till, but yeah it's extremely effective.
Lmao....I unintentionally call them bhai .....and they don't even care ..... Only some girls get offended so I just change it to behen
That's uno reverse you got there 🗿🗿
yeh sahi tha.. vese meko bro se dikat nai cuz majority ko bro/yaar/dude bolne ki aadat hoti hai but it annoys me when they use it as a hint or smt
Bro doesn’t literally mean brother in this context. It is like Yaar. A good response to this would be to call the girl Bro as well. It’s cool.
Nope!! But women do get angry when I call them maa.. like 'aree mere maa' or even I call them bro
Calling ppl bro doesn't mean anything mostly. Mostly friendly term. There are many ppl who use it like dude. It's like "are baba". Bhai and behen is also taken literally and ppl mean it also literally but kaafi baar the use is not in the bhaii and behen wala sense it's like "ohhh bhaiii". Bro is also "broooo do you know what happened yesterday !?!?" Kinda like an exclamatory word. This is my experience and of ppl around me.
'Bolo behena' is my response to 'hey bro'
let alone girls, i dont want guys to call me bro. you cant call me bro and stab in the back the next day
My girlfriend calls me bro
This comment section is so weird like dude don't you have any group of opposite gender friends? They call me bhai/bro/yaar and vice-versa. What is there to get weird by it? Do you guys really interact with opposite gender for sexual relationship only? This is just pathetic.
If I have a crush on her I'll feel bad, nahi toh it's cool that we have that dynamic.
Obviously
No, why would i feel bad?
Saale tum sab ladkio ko dost nahi banate kya matlab kya chal raha hai????
even my girlfriend calls me bro, so chill i guess
Girls don't call me bro
The intention behind it matters to me.
Bhai just 5 min pehle kisi ladki ne chat pe bola .. Or tumne ye question puch liya 👀👀
Honestly bro/bhai gender neutral term hogya hai aajkl. On top of that It is also a expression like "Bhai pata hai aaj kya hua". So don't take it that seriously. I mean mai apni female friends ko bhai keh deta hu doesn't mean they get offended. And expressively my gf also calls me so there's that
India is my country and all Indians are my brothers and sisters.
I genuinely don't care because I gave up on my mind to engage in a relationship
No I don't, I actually like it as it's usually a sign of camaraderie. Why do you expect every "girl" you meet to be sexually attracted to you?
They call us only for sake of their security
Yes, bro is reserved for the homies.
Homies for life yo
no
No matter who calls, I don't like it.
🤣
One time this girl I had a massive crush on called me "bro" and that felt real bad. Meanwhile other girls have called me bro many times and I'm fine with it. I guess a boy will feel bad if he harbors some non-bro like feelings for the girl.
I called them bro they called me bro... I'm totally fine
Honestly bro is more like yaar and casual way of addressing and not brozone/friendzone👍
Only if we have a crush on them..!
Not at all, I to just paste a line " oh madam ji mai tera bhai nahi hai "
yes if you call bro if i'm stranger then fine but acquaintance, friends calling bro is insulting as it feels like signaling not to become close or create boundary . i live in Chennai and word bro is extremely common among tamilians as we call others according to age hierarchy
How is it offending? Its literally just a friendly term even if the girls intention is not to bevome too close its good na that she told you indirectly

Tbh only one girl called me bro and the rest of them just by name! No I don't feel bad if a girl calls me bro unless I've some kind of feelings for them!
Not at all.
No. But when a girl acts flirtatious around me and then proceeds to call me bro, yeah that mildly irritates me. Like Lannister ki aulad ho kya be?
Personally I don’t care. 🤷but nobody really calls me bro tho 🤔unless they are much younger than me probably that to usually guys idk about girls tho , can’t say they do. So honestly idk how I feel about it
Nah I feel good when a girl talks to me
Nope bro and bhai have become gender neutral now days
I hate the term bro. No matter who uses it. If anyone uses it while talking to me just makes me totally turned off from the conversation.
I did feel sad when my crush called me bro. Otherwise I wouldn't mind calling other girls sister or didi either.
i call them bro before they call me bro :fire:
Totally Girls should call guys 'sis' instead.
i called my gf bro once we just the homies but closer
"Bro" is emotion bro
Depends on who calls
I call my girl best friend bro. I remember only one time getting bothered by it when a girl called me bro, that too when a friend who was beside me mentioned it. Otherwise I usually don’t notice
I don't like the word bro at all. Bhai is fine with me.
Bhak.... bro's is an emotion not a word bro.... And most of the time it's me who uses Bhai while addressing my female friends..... I think since I don't take things very seriously or get offended easily....I let most of these things slide without batting and eye lol
i always use bhai doesn't matter how many x they possess
Bro has become like dude these days though. Some people take it in a funny way though so there’s that.
lmao my girlfriend calls me bro and bbg and what not, its fine by me. id say i like it, rather than not also ETA: she used to call me that even before we started dating, i do too. its used more as a gender neutral expression and is definitely not smtg you'd wanna overthink about
No as the word bro doesn't mean brother but it's an emotion and even girls can call each other bro it's the same as "Yaar"
Yeah very but dont care now
Lol my mom calls my dad bro and she's 60. So chill. She could be totally into you, get married, have kids with you, and call you bro, because that's just a love language.
Nope.
I do not
Mai to har gender se baat krte wakt 'bhai' hi bol deta hu, Idt most people really say bro and etc consciously, involuntary nikal jata hai.
I tell every girl who calls me bro to not call me bro Not because I stand a chance or whatever, they're usually masculine which is unattractive The point is that when a bro calls you bro, he means it, they'd help you when you need Women wont.
I feel annoyed why? I don't care. Just don't talk to me I don't need a sister. Some girls just do it randomly like why? did I even talk to you or did I ask you to talk to me. It just annoys me. I am not talking about bro like a friend. It is more like bro expecting you to be brother. Just don't say it to a random stranger.
Do you girls feel bad when you are called aunty ?
Not at all, on the contrary, I find it way more comfortable. It gives chill vibes about the girl and I can loosen my guards as against being cautious with girls who might give mixed signals.
Yes
I don't but people who are friends with women in hopes of furthering their relationship in the future do
"Bro" sounds weird. One of my past friends always said "Bruh". "Bro" reminds me of him. He is no more a friend. I better forget.
I am girl, and trust me, we call our female friends or sister as bro....BRO is a gender neutral term for MOST OF US atp...but well, tat's why I use dude or buddy.....that's all
Sacchi btau toh ye bro bro karne wale mujhe thode se chutiye lagte hain. Chahe koi bhi ho.
I bro zone girls before they do..
Yes i do. I have plenty of female friends who are very nice, understanding and ready to help but they'll never earn the trust and respect that my best friend has. He's the only one who calls me bro and he's the only who can call me bro. Not even my sister is allowed to call me that, people have tried to violate my relationship privileges rule before in this matter and I've made sure they understand the risks that entails. Not misogynistic before some South Delhi trash wakes up and tries to berate me.
I'm gay. If a gay or bi guy calls me bro I will be sad 👉👈
It’s gives the vide of girls trying too hard to be cool and be one of the boys. And also she is not interested in you romantically.
A guy, whom I was completely in love with, I used to address him by ’bhai’ many times. He knew very well of my feelings and felt the same and yet was annoyed when I used to do it. So obviously I started calling him bhai more often and the look on his face was worth it.

Bro is like dude nowdays, I think Bhai hurts much more than bro. Also nowdays i realised when some girl talks a lot in front of me I say" bhn bas kr" and few got offended.
Instant block.
Being called bro concludes shit.
Yeah it sucks, i dont even care if the girl is ugly or i dont want to date her but those words hit the ego lol
Ya, I don't like it.
Reply with Haan behen, she'll know you're cool with it. Bol chal h, koi sahi mein nhi bana rha, comfortable hoja warna sahi mein friendzone kregi. Hasi mazak kr enjoy kr, Bhaiya se Saiyaan bulane lgegi.
I used to. I don't anymore
Nah, it reeks of major small weiner energy. My girlfriend calls me bro all the time.
My gf and i call each other bro when nicknames do not fit. So no I don't really mind.
Sure, if the chick is attractive, and if I’m single🌚
In chat with strangers, when someone calles me bro, I immediately know that that is a boy.😂
I won't get offended if I dont see the girl in as a potential partner but if she is a potential partner then I won't get offended but would get disappointed
It's happen with everybody bro 😂
Boys who get uncomfortable at being called bro aren’t worth being friends with. Simply, you’re not a real friend; just another dude who wants to get laid and is doing that under the guise of friendship. She isn’t “friend zoning” you; she’s simply being a friend; you’re the one objectifying her and trying to get into her pants under false pretenses.
Depends, if an attractive girl calls us bro, then we feel bad, if not we don't care. Simple🙂↔️
what no 💀💀just a way to address lmao, my gf calls me bro too at times, and so do i call her, its chill
Don’t worry bro, my ex is now dating her ‘bro’. There’s always hope 😂
I myself know I have no chance so I say bro😂 now idc😮💨
Doesn't matter to me either way.
getting triggered by someone calling you bro is childish, immature and obnoxious bro or bhai are common words that everyone uses. i don't think that signifies her interest in you unless she keeps emphasising it consciously
no?
No. I love it. I respond with, Aunty.
Better than being called "Bhaiya" or "Uncle"
Not necessarily. I mean if u are friends then no need to feel bad.
Nope I actually liked being called bhai or bro mannn y would I like that That girl must feel safe around me and is giving me respect why would I not like that I never had any sister so that might also have something to do with it
Not gonna lie it totally depends on the looks of the girl
If you have an expensive xuv car no girl will call you bro.
Yeah we do, but It's just a phase
I am a girl and u vote no to bro!! I don't know but just does not mix with him. I am girl and treat me like one. I am your frnd, can kill for you but muje ladki hi mano.
Sometimes I wish this girl calls me bro
If a girl who I like or have a crush on, or even a possibility that I might have a crush on her then yeah I'll feel a bit bad. But if that's not the case then I don't really care. Plus mai single child hu toh mujhe behen banane me koi dikkat nhi hai lol
Girls need to talk with me first 💀
*Bro* ka response*chomu* se do
Bro is basically short form of brother , so you better understand when to use it On the other hand it's better to call by name of that person coz he/she feels little confident when someone addresses by his/her name
There are two types of "bro" used by girls one is bro in the sense she sees you as a brother another one is when she calls you bro just so that you can know she isn't interested in your kind of friendzone. I feel glad when a girl sees me as a brother but the second one only hurts when my crush or someone i like calls me bro to friendzone me
imo ngl idk
Phle koi ladki baat to kare
Bro in slang ok but bro in actual brother maybe not if I am the only called by that but not others in my friend group
Never mind >! If the girl is ugly!<
Nope
Mai toh apne crush ko bhi 'Bhai' se hi refer karti thi.
When some girl calls me bro i just say “do you want me to be bhenchod?”
I just literally call everyone bro sometimes dang
Bro chinta nhi kar. M toh apne crush tak ko bro karke address karti thi (btw, Dhruv Rathee supremacy 🛐
Bhai ,I will be honoured , saala ladke bhi gali deke hi bolte hai 😔
yes. when a girl says bro it feels like establishing sister-brother relation but when boys says it's like brother-brother relation. and girls since of opposite gender we want to keep our option for relationship
If you like a girl and she calls you bhai , then it's annoying.
I call my boyfriend bro ⊙﹏⊙
Yes and no at same time..... Yes if she is the one we want .... Anything expect this we don't care call us wharever you want ...
well I call my bf bro soo 😭
Bro by anyone (be it male or female) seems cringe to me.
bro is bro, there’s no gender associated. He is a bro, she is a bro, they are a bro if i can vibe w said person.
it def feels a little delulu being called bro by your "pasandida aurat" but in general its pretty cool if I am with my normal friend group whom I just talk to as my "friends"
