Hey dudes,

As a lot of you know, the expression “cool story, bro” is meant to be sarcastic. It gets used on guys who just ramble on without adding anything valuable to a conversation. So I’m using this message to announce an effort to turn this sarcasm around, and I’m doing it by showing you original stories from the bros of seekBromance, because I know you all can tell stories that are genuinely cool.

Here’s how it works. Email your story to feedback@seekbromance.com using any common digital format that you choose. It can be plain text, Microsoft Word, Open Office, or you can even point a video camera at yourself and narrate your story on YouTube if you want. I’m going to run the top three stories, one per new post here on the seekBromance blog. The first prize is a free, unlimited contacts subscription for life.

Of course, there have to be a few ground rules, so here they are:

1. All content must be your own, original work – either fiction or non-fiction. Don’t be a dick and try to claim someone else’s creation as your own.
2. Keep the length reasonable. There is no firm minimum or maximum, but be aware that most of us bros don’t have time to read an entire novel. Something that you could start and finish during a mid-day break would be about right.
3. Content should mostly be PG-13. I’m not a prude, but I don’t want to publish pornographic stories. Also, no stories that push a ‘hate speech’ type of message.

The deadline for all entries is March 22, 2022 (which is my closest birthday). And that’s the contest! Good luck, bros.

Hey bros,

Here’s a quick little Halloween greeting I put together. Hope you enjoy it.

In case you’ve been reading some of the earlier posts in this blog, you know that I announced a major price discount to seekBromance subscriptions.

The reason was simple: seekBromance was designed to help bros meet one another in person, and COVID-19 was pretty much destroying that activity. Once things started to reopen, I got excited like everyone else and was getting ready to return to the usual pricing.

Then the Delta variant hit.

So, until the countries that we serve get things to the point where there’s minimal risk to go out and interact with people, I will stay the course with subscription prices. I can’t really guess how soon that will happen, but I promise to make an announcement on this blog way before any rate changes.

Stay safe, bros.

Hey dudes,

It’s been a while since my last blog post, I know. Don’t worry; I wasn’t sick. Just slammed with a ton of things to take care of with my various other projects. SO – my home state of California is ‘reopening’ today, and so am I.

Naturally, now that a lot of places are letting people meet up again, I’m looking at when to raise the subscription prices back up from Covid-era rates. Meaning that if you are even slightly considering getting a subscription and messaging your bros on the main site, now is the perfect time to take advantage of this service before the rates change again. Oh, and I’m going to honor the old price for as long as you keep your subscription active.

Okay bros, enough with the bureaucracy. Get out there and enjoy the weather.

Happy bromancing!

Hey dudes,

From the time seekBromance began, I swore that I would never publish a request like this. Of course, nobody ever expected a set of events like these.

You’re probably familiar with all the social conditioning that most boys get, that we’re supposed to be big, tough, self-sufficient MEN who never ask for help with anything. And this social conditioning affected me, too, back in the day, but now I understand that, in reality, there are times when it’s totally appropriate to ask for help.

Bear with me, bros; I’m getting to the point.

Maybe you’ve seen news articles about how hard this pandemic has hit a lot of small businesses. It turns out that seekBromance.com is no exception. People are now super cautious about spending money on anything except for things they absolutely need, today. A subscription, as valuable as it can be in your life, is still not an urgent necessity. I totally get that.

On the bright side, I’m glad that I’ve been able to give so many of you a little distraction when you need it most. Almost everything that guys can do with seekBromance they can do for free. But even free stuff costs me a little money. The hosting, the email lists, the cybersecurity: there are a lot of recurring charges to deal with.

Not to mention, the mission of seekBromance has always been to become the internet’s largest database of guys looking for more guy friends. The only way to get there is to keep advertising almost continuously, and that’s not cheap either.

I’m not giving up, because it’s not in my nature to give up. However, I do have an ask.

If you’ve been enjoying your membership on seekBromance, I’d like you to show your support by purchasing a monthly subscription, or even a yearly subscription. Or, if you think that messaging other bros on the site is not for you, but you still like the rest of what you’ve seen, you might want to consider a small donation. Every penny I collect through this drive will go directly to the site’s expenses, I promise you that.

Happy virtual bromancing, guys!
