Hey guys, it's been a while. I'm still doing my thesis on bromance. My thesis is entitled Gender Communication of Bromance as reflected on selected texts and motion pictures. I'm doing a survey on group bromance as practiced by the three musketeers namely: Arthos, Porthos and Aramis. They have this famous motto: one for all, all for one. I am trying to establish a sort of structure to male intimacy. The purpose of this study is to create a sort of form to a very abstract definition. I have covered bromance of the ages, race, social status etc. But I want to find out what you think about the dynamics of group intimacy.
My question is, is it possible that The Three Musketeers are practicing group bromance or "packmance"? If so, could group bromance really exist, or is it just exclusive or limited to 2 people?
Any insight you could give will be extremely helpful to me guys. I'll add your answers to the appendix and sourced properly to you. Thank you so much

I totally think that bromance exists in group settings. It may not be quite as intimate or bromantic, but it is probably more likely. I feel comfortable saying most men like the idea of multiple partners infact i have yet to meet a man that doesnt have a threesome fantasy at least. I think men think they do better in groups or something. The male bond is extemely strange and amazing. I envy that bond. Im sure you could trace it back before the musketeers... the disciples maybe? Lol

@roxxtime hey roxxy, thanks for the comment, yeah I do agree with you. Men do better in groups. That's a great observation. Writers always pair men with other men especially when it comes to pursuing a certain goal, like a crime maybe, or the courting of a certain maiden etc.
