    A [non-sexual] [relationship] between two men that are unusually close.

    -verb -mans-ing

    The act of wooing a fellow male friend for the purpose of becoming closer.
    Going to unusual lengths in an attempt to become closer with another male friend.

    also: Bromancing the Stone

    Provenance/Origin: Bromance is a [portmanteau] of the two words brother and romance. Originally coined by author/editor Dave Carnie in Big Brother Magazine. [Big Brother] was a sort of R rated [skateboarding]/skate culture magazine that was eventually purchased by [Larry Flynt]s [Hustler] [conglomerate] and consequently taken out of [circulation] due to unsatisfactory sales [performance].

            (N) The intense complicated love shared between two heterosexual males that consists of but not limited to wrestling, numerous man-dates, and tons of other stories that will only remain between the two.
            Also a form of male bonding to such a point where they start to seem like a couple.
            This bond is normally only shared between two males that have a deeper understanding of each other, in a way no woman could ever realize.

                  when two guys have a very close bond, to the point where they act like a couple, except that they are both straight. Signs of a bromance include, but are not limited to: knowing what the other is thinking, hanging out 27/7, hugging, extensive high-fiving, and sharing clothes. Some famous examples include Sherlock Holmes and Watson, and Captain Kirk and Spock.
