It can, however, go too far, enough to ruin other relationships. I suppose this means there has to be balance. From the comments on this post on The Nest, you can see there are pros and cons to the bromantic relationship.
Some more famous bromances in the public eye are Matt Damon/Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt/George Clooney, Tom Cruise/David Beckham, Ben Stiller/Owen Wilson, Tom Felton/Rupert Grint (yes, it's Draco Malfoy and Ron Weasley). Bromance is a frequent feature in anime as well.
Personally, I've seen the strongest romantic bonds formed among those men exposed to danger on a regular basis--military members, police officers, firemen. Danger is a great motivation to set aside differences and competitive natures.
Are you or your significant other in a bromance? When does a bromance go to far? Have you had any good / bad experiences with a bromance? Is it a necessary kind of relationship?
Alright. Day 2 of the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. Once again, there is still time to get in on this great blogging experience and push yourself. Head over to the blog by tonight to sign up and join the fun! And a note to my visitors and followers: I'm still in Washington spending time with my kids for a few days (haven't seen them since October), so I'll be by your blogs after I return tomorrow.
awww, we like bromance!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't call it bromance, but it is possible for men to be really close friends, like in the movie Brian's Song. The main characters in my first book were good friends. (But NOT like that picture!)
ReplyDeleteYeah, back in the day, stuff like this was just called "good friends". Now everything has a label.
ReplyDeleteI think it is totally possible for two men to have that kind of relationship but I think women do have many best friends. I am now following and i hope you can come over and visit me.

I agree with Anne Gallagher...wasn't this called "good friends" or "buddies". It is interesting how we need to "label" it to make it acceptable.
ReplyDeleteGreat "B" post.
