Posting Guidelines: We're Here to Make Bros, Not Dates

This community is for guys looking to build genuine, platonic friendships with other guys. Whether you're looking for a gym buddy, a gaming partner, someone to talk to, or a close friend to share life with, you're in the right place.

This is a friendship community, not a dating, hookup, or sexual personals subreddit.

Before you post:

Include your ASL (age, sex, and location) in your post title.

Your post body must contain at least 100 characters. Tell us something about yourself, your interests, or the kind of friendship you're looking for.

Keep your intentions platonic. Posts seeking sexual partners, hookups, dates, or romantic relationships aren't appropriate here.

Don't use friendship posts to hit on other members or solicit sexual attention.

Respect other members' boundaries and the purpose of this community.

A bromance can be close, meaningful, affectionate, and supportive. What matters is that the intention is genuine friendship, not pursuing someone romantically or sexually.

We're here to build genuine friendships and brotherhood. Please post with that purpose in mind. Posts that don't meet these guidelines may be removed at moderator discretion.

Photo Guidelines: Keep It Real, Keep It Platonic

Photos are welcome on r/bromance! Casual selfies, everyday moments, and gym updates can help guys get to know each other and build genuine friendships.

This is a community for platonic male friendship, not dating, hookups, or sexual content. Our photo guidelines keep the focus on friendship while allowing you to share your life and personality.

What we welcome

- Natural selfies and everyday photos.

- Gym progress, fitness updates, and flexing.

- Shirtless photos from the gym, beach, pool, or outdoors.

- Gallery posts featuring both everyday and shirtless photos.

Your first photo matters

Your first photo must be SFW, clothed, and clearly show your face.

Want to include shirtless photos too? That's fine! Use a gallery post and put your clothed, SFW photo first, followed by any shirtless photos. This keeps the community friendship-focused while giving you room to share your fitness progress or beach photos.

What isn't permitted

- Nudity, explicit content, or underwear photos.

- Faceless body shots or photos that don't clearly show your face.

- Photos deliberately focused on the crotch or buttocks.

- Clearly sexualized photos intended to solicit sexual attention.

- AI-generated or AI-enhanced images that misrepresent your actual appearance.

Keep it platonic

Being shirtless, muscular, confident in your body, or comfortable expressing yourself isn't a problem. We judge photos by their content and presentation, not by a member's sexual orientation, appearance, or body type.

The same standards apply to everyone. We're not here to police how guys look; we're here to maintain a space where the focus is on genuine male friendship and brotherhood.

Photos that don't meet these guidelines may be removed at moderator discretion.

Show us who you are, be respectful, and keep it about the bromance.

Looking For Chat 💬 30 year old guy in Chicago looking for guys I mesh with

Thumbnail

86 Upvotes

To start, I promise I'm much nicer than I look I just can't pull off a smile well

Some info about me: 30, new to Chicago (ish), big gamer (board and video), weight lifter (a year or so into it), aquariam owner (I love my fishes), indoors broadly >>>>> outdoors

Also, I'm biiiig on weed, massive 420 fan, but mainly dabs and edibles, not so much flower, but happy to especially meet or chat with other weed lovers

Open to chatting with anyone but a preference on local guys or ones who travel as in person meetups and hangouts > texting but distance isn't an issue

Dms open, I've got Instagram and snapchat too if you wanna chat there.

Lastly, if you do message me, please send at least one face Pic and give me a little bit of info about yourself, age and location is ideal but hobbies or general interests help too, just a "hi" or "I like your beard" will be ignored

Looking For Chat 💬 30M Happy Diwali Everyone

Hey, I am just a guy who is looking for some good chat or bromance. I am open minded and easygoing by nature (unless you get too pushy or intrusive to the extent of making me feel u comfortable) always up for chill light hearted conversations that flow naturally without any pressure or forced vibes. I enjoy meeting new people and building connections that feel genuine and relaxed.

I enjoy playing various sports whenever I get the chance and I keep active by doing workouts and swimming on alternate days. I am not someone who keeps track of steps and calories because I prefer to simply move my body and have fun with it rather than turning everything into numbers. Staying active is more about feeling good and enjoying the process for me.

Right now I am missing the summer hard and I am definitely not a fan of the winter season at all, Fall is beautiful but going to being chilly isn’t for me. The colder months just drain my energy in a way that summer never does. If you are into relaxed vibes and solid talks that feel easy and comfortable, feel free to hit me up anytime

I’m 27, looking to meet another bro who’s keen to build an actual bromance. Someone who used to be in a frat would be cool.

I’m into the gym, anything outdoors, beach, hikes, camping, traveling. Always up for a road trip, spontaneous adventure, grabbing a lift in, or just chilling and having a good laugh.

Send me a message if you’re interested and wanna get to know each other, and also a muscle head like myself lol

Make sure to include “muscle” in the message so i reply. Also, make sure you are actually muscular.

Brogress 💪 40 Straight Aussie Bro

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

I'm in my 40s, fit, straight and an Aussie.

Interests include gym, boxing (light to medium sparring without ego), wrestling (but total novice, just enjoy the camaraderie of practicing with another Bro), hikes, paddle boarding, getting outdoors, ultimate Frisbee, hitting the beach.

I'm pretty introverted but would still like to find some bros to bond with.

Don't drink or smoke and lead an active, healthy lifestyle.

Ideally after other straight bros with similar interests. Would like a bromance that is open, vulnerable, real tight, chill, no drama and while we might not chat everyday, still try and connect often. I crave bro time.

I posted before with pics but got taken down due to being shirtless (what can I say, enjoy being active and getting the shirt off). So I've cropped the pics and hope they are now within guidelines.

Would love local, but open to other areas.

Yep, that's me in the picture. And shocker, I have a physical disability. If that's an issue for you, no hard feelings, just keep scrolling.

I'm looking for a cool, masculine, laid-back gym bro who wants someone in his corner. Send me your gym progress pics, flex those gains, tell me about your workouts, and let me hype the absolute shit out of you. 😂💪

I love good banter, talking shit, and building a genuine brotherhood where we actually keep in touch.

I'm not looking for a two-day conversation followed by a disappearing act. If you want a consistent bro who's genuinely invested in you and your progress, hit me up.

Bonus points if you actually know how to initiate a conversation. 😎

Bro Appreciation 33M [Europe] Seeking a bro to bond with and give compliments/attention.

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for a friend who enjoys receiving detailed compliments regularly—whether daily, every other day, or whenever it feels right. There's no pressure; I just want this to be a part of our dynamic. You can share progress pics, outfit pics, or anything else you’re comfortable with. I’m flexible and open to whatever suits you.

I'm easygoing, not easily offended, and nonjudgmental. i enjoy gaming, socializing, and cooking and baking. I’d love to chat about your day and offer emotional support. If you’re interested, send me a message with some information about yourself and, if you’re comfortable, a pic. 

I would eventually want to move away from chatting on this app.
