Why does every guy say "dude", "man" or "bro"??

[Jared:3]

I hate when guys do this, I never say it, and never will, I'm not Manley at all so when some guy says those to me I get a little nervous lmao

I'm a woman and I use dude all of the time! I think it's just as common as using "you guys" when referring to a group of people. I don't really use man, and I use bro jokingly with my friends.

 

[Alienfish]

I think it's as used with either or every gender to be honest, I use them gender neutral for the least so I don't really see the issue. If people have problem, tell me but I'm not insulting you in any way when I use it.

Dude, I was actually just thinking about this the other day. I honestly don't know man, but I hope you find your answers sometime soon bro.

Hmm? I don't think I've ever taken part in one of their threads before but are we not allowed to make lighthearted jokes in them?

When the person meant a jared thread it meant me, I make wierd threads, so people call them Jared threads

Yeah, I know. I was more referring to the //slithers away but I didn't know if that was a bad thing or a joke. Now that you've explained it I guess it makes more sense that they were joking.

No I'll just argue and prove my point

The mods close it without me reporting them, although I have reported maybe 3 times about a thread

 

[MozzarellaSticks]

Dude, I say it, too.

Ok, that's fine

 

[Tensu]

I say it all the time. There's really no problem with it... I've seen just as many girls say it.

I wish I was Manley but unfortunately I hang out with girls always, the guys make fun of me for being gay, it upsets me

"every" guy.. a generalisation

i know a few guys who don't say any of those words but i personally say dude or man and sometimes bro !!
