Preamble to the Bromance

The Bromance. One of the simplest things to feel, yet the most complicated to explain. It is defined as: 'the complicated love and affection shared by two straight males.'


But it goes beyond that. It's not just two guys who share a non-defined love for each other. It can be a respect that goes far beyond simple admiration, like the awe that is inspired by a hero or role model. It can be the joy brought on by manly accomplishments by mere mortals who strive to live above and beyond the norm. Or, it could be as simple as being reminded of traits and aspects that we, ourselves, carry amongst fellow men.


...but totally in a not-gay sort of way.


We have created a place that men of like minds can pay tribute to those worthy of being the object of a Bromance. Here, nominees will be evaluated, and if found deserving, eligible for full-on bromance legend.


At unregulated intervals (because some of us have lives and jobs that won't allow regular posting dates) one of the contributors will present an individual as a possible Bromance candidate. Then, our team of manly experts will weigh the merits and accomplishments of the Bromance candidate.


The judgement will be brutal, harsh, and straight-forward, but totally fair (and by 'fair' we mean totally arbitrary with no real rhyme or reason...it's just the alcohol driving these decisions).


Who will be accepted into the hallowed halls of manly admiration? The judgement will begin soon...
