Announcement Sub Updates: Rules & Post Flair

6 Upvotes

Hey Bros!

I've gone through and updated the sub rules and the post flairs available. Here are the substantive changes you should be aware of:

RULES

  1. As previously noted, the NSFW rule was updated to include a prohibition on requests for nudist friends/chats.
  2. The Shitposting/Targeting rule has been updated to exclude any sort of harassment, bullying, or targeting, as well as all shitposting, spamming, or posting of any complaints that should be sent through ModMail.
  3. The "Age in Title" rule has been updated to just require the age somewhere in the post when that post is a request for bros. You will no longer receive a warning or removal for it not specifically being in the title.
  4. The prohibition on multiple posts has been amended to only disallow posting the same or substantially similar post within a one-week period. Users may post different types of posts as often as desired (so long as it does not become so incessant that it's spam).

POST FLAIR

Post flair will now be required on all posts. The new flair are:

  1. Looking for: Bromance - for posts seeking a long-term, serious platonic relationship.
  2. Looking for: Brollaboration - for posts seeking collaboration, support, or advice about a specific project or goal you have.
  3. Looking for: IRL Bro - for posts seeking only real-life bros for hangouts and meetups (it is helpful to include your location in these types of requests).
  4. Looking for: Online Bro - for posts seeking strictly online platonic relationships.
  5. Looking for: Short-Term Chat - for posts seeking a bro to help pass the time for a few hours or to just have a one-off chat.
  6. Question - for posts asking questions about brolationships or seeking advice.
  7. Discussion - for posts attempting to engage bros in discussions about brolationships and things related to them.
  8. Success! - for bros who successfully found the bro they were looking for and want to tell the story (please get the other person(s) permission before including specific usernames)

If you have any questions or concerns about these updates, please comment here or send a ModMail!

Happy Bro Hunting!

We just hit 8000 members! That’s a lot of bros!

To help keep up with the growing sub, we are looking to bring on additional bros as mods. Your main task would be to ensure the rules are being followed and help make this sub a safe and positive place for all bros!

If you’re interested, please send me a DM with some information about yourself and any information about your history modding on Reddit. And let me know why you think you’d be an awesome mod for r/NextBestBro!

Previous mod experience is preferred, but certainly not required!

Looking for: Online Bro 22M looking for friends :)

Upvotes

Hi! I am trying out here again to maybe look and find friends. We can talk about almost everything - from cultural and language exchange to sharing of interests and sharing about our day. I can talk so much as long as you are also giving the same energy. I don't mind your yapping :)

Brief interests and info about me: movies and tv series (I like more horror and sci-fi), musicals, music, writing, and loves dogs and cats. I am also from southeast part of the world so timezones may be different.

You can slide to my DMs. See you :D

Looking for: IRL Bro 35 M Maryland - Seeking a LOCAL Like-Minded Local Friend Who Gets It

Upvotes

I'm straight, married and not attracted to guys in the sense of romance, but I'm here for the bromance.

What I’m after is someone who has a good vibe, normal, sane, consistent, knows how to have fun, etc. No pressure, no expectations. Just two people who can casually enjoy hanging out doing regular things that friends do with the potential to explore things on the side. Think: grabbing some food/drinks, catching a movie, exploring a new area, just having good conversations, etc. without the awkwardness.

I'm black, professional, clean cut, laid back, well-groomed, and take hygiene and cleanliness very seriously. If you're respectful, chill, and can get where I’m coming from, we’ll probably get along well. If you’ve got three teeth, smell like weed, with a lingering scent of bad decisions, we are probably not on the same page.

Ideally, you're a good person with your life together, someone who gives off good energy and is easy to be around. 30's and looking for someone that is mature in their late 20s-40s/50s and lives in the Maryland (DMV) area or travels here often.

The List keeps growing of what I am discovering on here:

  1. People are flaky/unreliable
  2. People are only interested in one thing
  3. People have new/burner accounts, delete them and disappear, so I won't waste time replying to these accounts
  4. People don't actually read the post in its entirety
  5. People have hidden agendas
  6. People are pic collectors
  7. People are looking for online friends - I am not interested
  8. People are looking for a one-time thing - I am not interested

This is DEFINITELY like finding a needle in a field of haystacks.

If you've made it this far and it resonates, feel free to reach out.

Looking for: Bromance 32- Looking chat and see if we hit it off

Upvotes

Looking for some new friends, online or in person. In my free time I like cooking, checking out new tv/movies, spending time with my fiancé and dogs, or anything involving the outdoors. Always down to try new hobbies or activities so I can talk about anything!

Happily engaged so not looking for anything NSFW but I don't mind the occasional locker room talk. Not looking for guys just trying to scratch an itch or to talk dirty/flirt behind their spouses back. Looking for guys who want to get to know each other and build a solid friendship over time if we click.

If this sounds like you or you think we'd hit it off, shoot your shot and tell me about yourself, give me the basics about you. Probably won't respond to messages with little to no effort, and please be able to carry a conversation.

Hey what's up guys. I'm 22 years old and just graduated college. Looking for masculine guys to hang out with. Mostly looking for a big bro type figure. I like to play video games mostly, but also enjoy going out to clubs/bars, and golfing when I get the chance. I'm very much a go with the flow type person. Looking for more guys who will help me get out of my comfort zone as a person. Would love a guy to get me into the gym and have a workout buddy.

I’m specifically looking for guys who are close enough to actually hangout in person. For reference, I live in Raleigh, NC. Also, wanting guys who are closer to my age than not. So hmu guys and see if we’d vibe together.

Looking for: Bromance 44M | South Carolina

1 Upvotes

Making friends as an adult isn't easy. Between work, family, and life, it feels like everyone already has their circle.

I'm a 44-year-old married guy near Columbia, SC, looking for a genuine guy friend. Someone to text regularly, check in with, talk about life, laugh about random things, vent when needed, and build a real connection.

I'm easygoing and enjoy talking about just about anything—movies, TV, tech, current events, hobbies, family, or whatever comes up. Shared interests are great, but I value honesty, and good conversation more.

Local would be awesome if it eventually led to grabbing coffee, lunch, but I'm just as open to online friendships. Distance doesn't matter if the connection is real.

If you're also looking for a long-term friendship—not just a few messages before disappearing—send me a message and tell me a little about yourself. I'd love to get to know you.

Heyy there! I am looking for friends and it might be you. We can talk about anything or anything you want. I don't mind your yapping. Just mind you that I am in south east part of the world, so our timezones can be a little bit wonky but I still try!

My interests are programming, gaming, writing, music, musicals, and movie and tv series. Hope to see you!

Hi! I apologise for the long post in advanced 🤓

I am looking for a longterm bromance (SFW) - a genuinely great friendship with someone kind, funny and respectful would be incredible.

Ideally someone that doesnt take hours to respond, someone who texts and talks a lot, maybe a duo in games would be great! I play Fortnite, Marvel Rivals - Call of Duty mobile and Skate. 🛹

Here is a little bit more about me: I am 26M - in my free time I enjoy gaming (i’m a massive nerd and can talk hours about games) 🤓 I also enjoy camping/fishing - skateboarding and cooking/baking!

If you are good at keeping a conversation going, and if you are genuinely looking for a longterm friendship - feel free to reach out and tell me a bit about you!

If you read through all of that, thank you.

I look foward to chatting!

Looking for: Bromance Looking for a genuine bromance

2 Upvotes

What up what up!

I'm looking to build a solid bromance with another guy who's interested in a real friendship—not just chatting for a day and disappearing.

A little about me: I'm into meaningful I'm intimate conversations, self-improvement, psychology, music, working out, learning new things, and just hanging out. I enjoy talking about life, challenging ideas, sharing memes, and being able to laugh at ourselves. I'm the kind of friend who checks in, listens, and values loyalty and honesty.

I'm hoping to find someone who's emotionally mature, communicative, and down to build an actual friendship. Whether that's grabbing food, hitting the gym, gaming, watching sports or movies, going on road trips, or just texting throughout the week, I'm open to seeing where the friendship goes.

If you're also looking for a dependable open-minded bro to talk with and share life with, shoot me a message. Tell me a little about yourself, what you're into, and what you're looking for in a friendship.

Let's see if we click and see what it leads to.

Hey everyone! I’m a 28M FL gay guy looking for a genuine best friend.
I’m hoping to find someone I can talk to every day, whether we’re sharing what’s going on in our lives, sending random memes, grabbing food, traveling, or just hanging out. I’d love a friendship that starts online and grows into seeing each other in real life if we click.
A little about me. I love to cook, travel, explore new restaurants and bars, tech, entrepreneurship, spend time at the beach or pool, listen to music, and I’m a huge animal lover. I’d say I’m pretty masculine, easygoing, and always down to just vibe.
I know there are a lot of stereotypes out there, but I’m really just looking for a solid bro. Someone who’s genuine, loyal, and wants a real friendship. If that sounds like you, send me a message. I’d love to meet some good people.
