We need to be real about this..Many male so called friends are positioning themselves to be next in line whether it be for sex or dating.

They are waiting for her to become single, for her to have relationship issues, or for some other opportunity to sleep with her.

Sometimes he's waiting or her to get drunk. Hence the, "OMG I got drunk and slept with my male friend by accident!." That was no accident!

I guess it's harder for women to understand because sex esp nsa is so much more available to them

I don't think that's true.. I joke around with my male buddies all the time, talking gangsta and calling them bro, bra, etc. and fist pumping and high fiving them.

So never trust a woman you're dating when she refers to her male friend as her big bro. And beware the woman with many bros.

Class dismissed.
The only woman who ever called me "bro" who I also slept with was someone I slept with many years ago. It couldn't possibly have any relevance to anyone she was dating now.

While I've found some posts in this topic I agree with, I can't agree 100% with OP, simply due to the fact that the older of my two little sisters calls me bro, broha, or some other variation/word/whatever. I can't even tell you the last time she called me by my first name, which is good cuz I hate it anyway. Apparently she must feel weird calling me by my middle name, which is what I've gone by for close to 20 years. So calling me bro must be her way of finding some middle ground.

I'm cool with it.

And I've never slept with my sister. Nor would even if we weren't related.

I am so out of touch if this is true (which I suspect it isn't).

Actually, it doesn't sound that far-fetched because of the common usage. Its kind of a sly wink-wink-nudge-nudge if you happen to know the lingo; but, it sounds innocuous if you don't. Of course not all friends who use "bro" between them are FWB. However, its not that hard to believe that FWB will use "bro" to refer to each other, even around others.

"Bro" just indicates comfort level.
Like calling someone "buddy" does it mean every girl who is comfortable with a man automatically has slept with them?
