Dates can be the most catastrophic, confidence wrecking things that happen in a bro’s life. The girl you’re with can chew too loud, talk about her self for freakish amounts of time and make you spend all you’re hard earned money on some nice food that she may not even touch. Thankfully the good Lord has allowed for not all dates to involve a man and a woman. There is such thing as the man date. Not a federal mandate about your taxes or other things that interest the government because bros don’t really care about the government. My personal opinion is, ‘If I’m alive, I’m happy with the government.’

These man dates involve two bros going to a bro worthy restaurant and eating together, no female folk involved. In no way is this at all homosexual or fruity in nature, unless of course the bros go to a restaurant that really isn’t bro worthy in which case the bros may be put into homo suspicion. A true man date is a completely heterosexual thing when two men, who like women, just want to get some quality grub at a sit down restaurant without the company of a woman. In no way is this wrong at all.

However, if the bros suspect that another patron of the restaurant suspects them of like-liking each other the bros will just do something manly like hit on the waitress or order some huge steaks that no remotely feminine type of man could eat in one sitting. Thus protecting themselves from suspicion. The other people in the restaurant will lean to each other and say, “Goodness, I thought that those men like-liked each other. However, I’ve come to notice that they’ve both ordered humungous steaks and one of them just acquired the waitress’s number. They must just be some bros on a man date.”

See, look how that possible problem was dissolved with a simple act of ordering a steak. If the men hadn’t noticed that they had made others suspicious, they may have ordered something like a sauteed chicken breast with some basil leaves and a garden salad. Now there is nothing wrong with that meal, but it is much more feminine than the steak.

Now, not all places are okay for man dating inside. There are certain restaurants that just cannot be enjoyed by bros with their bros, one on one. I will now break this down.

Restaurant Name Is it Man Datable?

Olive Garden: Sorry, soup, salad, and breadsticks, while it may be unlimited, it’s not manly.

Buca Di Bepo: Lots of food = Very Manly.

Champps Sports Bar: TV’s and Burgers = Manly. The title also has the word SPORTS in it. So it’s a go.

Buffalo WIld Wings: The Ultimate in Bro Dining.

Chinese Buffets: More food than you know what to do with is always okay.

Anything French: No, never. Ever. There Is nothing manly about a french restaurant. At all.

There are many more restaurants that are okay for man dating at, and if you’re wondering about a certain restaurant, just ask me and I’ll let you know what I think about it.
