Bro's vs. Douche Bags

So I consider myself a bro & got in an argument with some wanna be MMA douche last weekend at a bar, saying that he in fact was a bro. I said that he was not a bro, but actually a "douche-bag". So what do the bro's on here constitute a bro & what a douche bag?

 

Bro: Obnoxious partying males who are often seen at college parties. When they aren’t making an ass of themselves they usually just stand around holding a red plastic cup waiting for something exciting to happen so they can scream something that demonstrates how much they enjoy partying. Nearly everyone in a fraternity is a bro but there are also many bros who are not in a fraternity. They often wear a rugby shirt and a baseball cap. It is not uncommon for them to have spiked hair with frosted tips.

Bro = douchebag

Agree with everything said above, but recognize a bro is really just one sub-type of a douchebag. Maybe a bro is really like a proto-douchebag who hasn't really become a full grown douche.

There are plenty of douchebags who are NOT bros. For example, one of the more senior guys in my group is a complete idiot and no one in the group has any respect for him. He complains incessantly. He loves staffing pitches on Friday at 6, even when he knew about the pitch 2 days earlier. And then he goes off on wild tangents about how sweet things were when he was an Associate.

That is a full-blown douche with no bro qualities about him. But I bet he thought he was a bro 15 years ago.

 

Ok so at first I was embarrassed of my post, but now that I'm a few in (sorry for the drunk-esque post)). Fucke you wannna be faggot s. You wish you where as bro as me. Oh, and guess what the fuck is up??! Everyone in finance who parties is a bro. That's a fact. So if you can't rock your lacoste and polo and make fun of ed hardy fucks, get out. peace.

GoodBread:
There's a fine line between being a bro and being a douche-bag, and you crossed it.

Nope, solid bro.
