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. Bromancing is a positive to masculinity in terms of relationships amongst other men. Bromances can help men in having relationships and learning how to trust someone as well as having someone to help them with in case they have a problem.
Bromantic relationships can usually help men 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 in their lives by admitting 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 relationships 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. Those are key factors that the two boys benefit from their bromantic relationship.
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 is also seen in the movie Superbad. The characters feel compfortable by admitting that they love each other. This supports the fact that bromances help 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. It also change what Anderson claims from Kimmel that “Heterosexual masculinity has long maintained hegemonic dominance in Western Europe and North American culture(Kimmel 1980(page2)).”
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 outgoing 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. It also makes sure they do right by them which is also a plus for women.
Although building confidence amongst men bromancing also 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 William Speed Weed explains that “intimacy was usually for women and men were too out of touch with their feelings for most of the 20th century men are emotional.They disclose weakness and build trust((Kimmel)Page1). 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 people’s lives and helps develop social skills. It also breaks the barrier for men to become closer and allows them to overcome that stereotype that becoming "close" is just feminine
