As a rule, I am. While I adore being dolled up and out and about, my being is fundamentally male. I tire quickly when the conversation focuses on "girl things" e.g., fashion, chick flicks, and the like. Even with my gal pals, be they genetic males or females, if we aren't discussing things that appeal to my dude side I get fidgety in a hurry.
As a case in point I bring you my Texas Bestie, Sandy Clifton. We love our gal pal adventures but we're also bros for sure. Last weekend we got together for a group run and covered our usual topics - pro sports, college sports, athletics, politics, family, travel, and so forth. I tallied it up, and we've run over 60 miles together in the last 2 years; that's a lot considering we live 150 miles apart. Sometimes we discuss gal pal stuff but it's predominantly bro stuff.
After the run just the two of us snuck off for breakfast tacos and the girl talk kicked in. Perhaps a bit odd for two adult bearded men to be discussing wigs and cleavage, but nobody around us was listening and besides what would it matter if they were?
So, are you bros with your gal pals? Share your thoughts! Hugs, Michelle
