there is a lot of this slang stuff that never quite managed to figure out...like since when was I your dude/bros/etc.... lol
its all harmless...when it worries me is when the peeps using it can't actually speak normal anymore and can only speak slang.

This is just the way I feel about it....It's a title of sort's and it is earned. When a man show's the type of commitment to another man that lets him know you are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for him and he show's the same, like most would do for their blood brother or sister or parents...Then and only then should a person call another "Bro". If anyone doesn't like the way I feel about....I really don't care and if all the other "Chit Desturbers" (I number myself 1 of those) here start calling me "Bro" it won't bother me either. But..Should I meet you in person and there's always a chance I will..Please don't call me "Bro" simply because we share a common interest.
Thanks.

It's thrown around alot...Many don't take it lightly. I have several people that I occasionally ride with when I'm home. I have never called any of them "Bro" and they know not to call me that. On the other hand I went through some very bad things with a group of Men many years ago, one of them saved my life. Any of them can call me "Bro" any time they want and I refer to them the same way.

Well said. I just don't get it when it is thrown around without being particularly meaningful or as you pointed out, simply because you share a common interest. I get that it's a male bonding ritual of sorts, but it seems to be thrown around rather carelessly or superficially by some. Just my .02 and of course, worth about that much too.

My husband who used to Civil War re-enact (he's a history major) once said that all men are overgrown boys and frustrated actors to a certain extent. 
And yes, I concede that women do it too but to a lesser degree. 
Oh, and before I forget: just sayin', like, really.

"Whateverrrr".....I think there is allot of truth to what your Husband told you. Especially the "overgrown boys" part..
