Bromance. A word that brings up mixed feeling for most, and that many have difficulty defining. It is defined online as “A bromance is a close non-sexual relationship between two (or more) men, a form of affectional or homosocial intimacy.” This means that, basically, two good guy friends. So what is a Bromance and our obsession with them? "Celebrity Bromaces" are everywhere; from Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert, Brad Pitt and George Clooney, and finally, Leanardo Di Caprio and Tobey Maquire. So they are everywhere, everyone has a best friend, and for guys, they’ve got their bros. Their peeps, their group. Now, I’d like to briefly touch on something important to all bromances, or non-sexual guy-guy relationships.

A few excerpts are as follows:
The Brocode as seen here, is the central aspect of all bromances, and is something that most guys follow without even thinking about it. Feel free, if desired, to go take a look, and see how bro you are.

A few excerpts are as follows:
- Whether he cares about sports or not, a bro cares about sports.
- If a chick enquires about another bros’ sexual history, a bro shall honor the Br-ode of silence and play dumb. Better to have women think that all men are stupid than to tell the truth.
- A Bro loves his country, unless that country isn't America.
- As a courtesy to Bros the world over, a Bro never brings more than two other Bros to a party. Three Bros are cool - Three amigos, Three musketeers, The police, Apollo 13 Astronauts and the Three stooges. Four Bros are lame – Mount Rushmore, The Fantastic Four, The Monkeys and Michael Jordan’s team mates.
- A Bro shall always say yes in support of a Bro.
- If a Bro discovers another Bro has forgotten to sign out of his email the Bro will sign out for him, but only after first sending a few angry emails to random contacts and then deleting all sent messages.
- When hosting, a Bro orders enough pizza for all his Bros.
- A Bro doesn't listen to chick music...in front of other Bros. When alone, a Bro may listen to, say, a Sarah McLachlan album or two, but only to gain valuable insights into the female psyches, not because he finds her melodies tragically haunting yet curiously uplifting at the same time.
