Men aren't usually seen being very close with each other unless they were homosexual. But in this modern day heterosexual men have developed great "bromantic relationships with one another. A bromance is a non-sexual relationship between two men that are unusually close. The concept of bromance can mostly be seen in the media; in movies such as Superbad, and I Love You Man. These media influences create real life bromances in society. My thesis is that bromancing is a positive thing in society. I believe bromances can help men in having relationships and learning how to trust someone as well as having someone to help them with a problem.
Bromantic relationships can usually helpmen in creating a strong close bond amongst one another.. In the movie Superbad Michael Cera's character Evan and Jonah Hill's character Seth have a bromantic relationship. In their relationship they give each other advice on how to get girls at a party they attend. The two characters discover that they need each other by admitting r that they were going to miss one another after they graduate high school which leads them into using the term "I Love You". This shows that men in bromantic relationship gain an amount of trust and creates a close bond between the two. It also shows that the two boys feel comfortable to talk to one another about uncomfortable topics like sex and virginity as well as other topics they can't talk to no one else about.
In an article by Eric Anderson entitled “I Kiss Them Because I Love Them”: The Emergence of Heterosexual Men Kissing in British Institutes of Education men have shown their confidence by becoming close with one another.Many people would view this man on man bond as homosexuality but bromancing helps men depend and trust in one another and in this case become more comfortable with their sexuality. This supports the fact that bromances helps men create close bonds. The men in this article are simply trying to prove that bromancing is a positive and how it can also boost ones confidence.
Bromantic relationships usually help when it comes to advice but it also helps heterosexual men with their relationship with women. An example of this is the movie I Love You Man. In the movie Paul Rudd's character Peter learns how to stop being a pansy and becomes more open and out going when he meets Jason Segel's character Sydney. In the movie Peter has no male friends so his brother sets him up on man dates and eventually he meets Sydney. Sydney shows Peter new ways of living and helps him strengthen his relationship with his fiance. This shows that men in bromantic relationships can work together to make sure that their women are happy with them and to make sure they do right by them which is also a plus for women.
Although building confidence amoungst men bromancing does one key positive thing. It teaches men how to make friends which is also shown in the movie I Love You Man. In an article from Readers Digest by William Speed Weed entitled "The Secrets of Male Friendship". The article explains in its first paragraph that intamacy was usually for women and men were too out of touch with theirs feelings for most of the 20th century. "Men are emotional. They disclose weakness and build trust" as Kimmel says in the article.It is said that males do more things together as suppose to talking on the phone. Men learn how to become more dedicated if they want a friendship to last because it can easily end in an instant if their relationship isn't good.
Bromance,a non-sexual relationship between two men that are unusually close. Bromancing is a positive thing in society. As it has been proven within the media and articles bromancing effects peoples lives and helps develop social skills. It also breaks the barrier for men to become more close and allows them to overcome that stereotype that becoming "close" is just feminine
The first paragraph has potential to become the introduction to your paper but it needs to be develop and proofread. Also, your thesis, which here spans the two last sentences and isn't quite clear? What do you mean by "learning how to just someone as well as having someone to help you with something"? Try not to shift from "men" to "I" to "you" as it is quite difficult to keep track of who is speaking and to whom?
ReplyDeleteThe second paragraph is just a plot summary of the movie Superbad? What is the point that you are trying to make in this body paragraph?
I e-mailed you my comments on this revised first draft and points for this part of the project.
