I’ve never called someone bro and I don’t think I ever will but I’d probably find it odd to hear someone call a woman bro

I call many people bro.

But if someone expresses they're not comfortable with that, I don't call them it any more

I worked with fem, who referred to their past selves like this "When i was a wee guy.."

rhis happened a few times over the first few days and I had to double check if they were transitioning or not

this was years ago now though, things like that dont even make me think twice, it ls so normalised in my social circle

I don't use bro, but using "guys" for a collective group of people including women has been a hard habit to break

I realised I was hopelessly out of touch recently when I was at a golf driving range and a bunch of young guys were in the next bay … they finished every single sentence with the word “cuz”

Bro, bruv, girl, sis are all terms I’ve seen used towards people of all genders.

But I’d only call someone any of those things if I liked them.

Language is constantly changing and evolving, a few years ago I’d have assumed it was masculine but these days there’s no gender meaning to it.

Very popular like women calling me 'mate' .....never met them before, but mate.

For me it's so ugly and so not feminine. I'd somehow accept it from a brickie or someone when I'm on site...

Yeah, 'bro', short for brother which used to be masculine, that was before he became a Haribo, but a female one.

Yeah, great innit bro

If someone calls me 'bro', is that mucher better dan callin me 'mate', innit?

I don't use the term and don't like being addressed as such.Though as it is short for brother, I assume it also applies to females in a trade union.

I also personally deplore since the start of the "tinternet" total strangers, companies etc etc addressing me by my first name in communications. I much preferred the good old respectful Mr, or Mrs, Miss Master etc. All too bloody familiar these days and I don't think it good manners or good etiquette.

It is one of those phrases that I find amusing because I feel people who use it are trying just a little too hard. But then I am old so what do I know?

In jiu-jitsu everyone gets bro'd no matter the gender especially if I can't remember their name

I still associate Bro with men, otherwise Sister would equally apply?

I do consider ‘guys’ and ‘tart’ gender neutral so I’m probably just a bit behind the social idiom curve..

I regularly address my OH as "dude?" or "dafuq, bro?"

I don't use them, but I do acknowledge them. Except 'tart', which I apply as a term of tolerant endearment....

If a woman wants to turn me off, then calling me bro or mate does the job.

Half past 6 and even the horny thoughts disappear.

It's feels a bit they either put you in the friend zone or they are less feminine.

Less feminine behaviour can mean dominant too, which would actually turn me on.

Not sure where I'm going with this... anyway.

I actually don't call anyone bro or mate, but I wasn't born here.

Man calling me mate and it's kind of traditional/normal.

Bro is a bit chavy or confused about the shade of my skin.

Not taking it as an offence.

I frequently use ‘guys’ when addressing a mixed group of people, regardless of gender. I see it as more of a collective term than a gender specific individual one.

Nobody seems to mind/take offence. If they did I’d happily listen to what they say.
