Put things up their ass when they're drunk.
I second that.

"Why!? Motherfuck. Why would you do that to someone that trusts you enough to pass out around you!?"

When you're drunk enough "why?" usually turns into "why not?"

:laugh:

Buy a random gift for them.
Sit directly next to them on a couch when there are only 2 of you.
Stand too close to them.
Touch their face.
Touch your feet to theirs.
Share a dessert.
Hit on a chic they already called dibbs on.
Fail to mention to a drunk friend their "girl" is really a "man".

Man, you've done all that?

So..it's okay to let it slam in their face? That's not gay, it's consideration.

The most bro-ish form of "holding a door open" is to go through and then reach back and give it that little extra push so it stays open long enough for your bro to get through easily. You shouldn't step off to the side and open it for him though.

Sadly I have a friend (male) who does that. Which puts me in a tight spot since the place where he does it has two doors and I always feel obligated to return the favor, but I'd really rather do the bro-push than a full on door-open.

WTF, just keep the fvcking door open.

You can hold it as they go through, too, it's just the standing off to the side and opening it as though you were allowing your date or an elderly person through that is rather un-bro-like.

EDIT: Think of it as the difference between a one-armed slap-on-the-back hug and a full two-armed embrace. I guess it's still occasionally acceptable to do the latter, but only in special situations. It is definitely not a bro-hug.

what if you hold it open for a girl+your bro? do you wait for the girl to go and then let go? or is it ok to hold it open for the duration for both to pass thru?

I think that would be fine. Besides, I don't think your typical bro thinks too hard about these things. 😛

i never did, but this thread is opening my eyes to some of the egregious anti-bro shit i've been doing.
