Some people would think differently if bromance is brought up as a discussion. I mean, there is always a misnomer or even perceived differently by others with malicious mindset. Bromance is a way of showing brotherly love between two or more men in public.
I am pretty sure, some of you would see the gestue of holding hands by couples and parents with their children. In some of the world, Middle East and India, most men hold each other’s hand as a sign of respect and brotherhood. Some cheeky people will raised their eyebrows or have a second glance if seeing two men showed endearment gesture on the street. Others would express their discomfort if holdings hands is seen between two men. In 2005, one particular event in the US that President George Bush held hands with the former Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah when he visited the ex-president’s ranch for a meeting.

that is usually the perception of some persons who think maliciously of 2 men holding each other's back or hands when these 2 men could just be the best of pals.

@ridingbet I think some traditional people could not understand this kind of gesture. I had seen this before when I had the mission in a Muslim country. I find it so weird but that's the way they showed respect to their male friends.

@ridingbet I had seen it a couple of times when I had my medical mission in Central Asia. It is normal for them since it is also a Muslim country.

@Shavkat how much more if they see 2 Arab men doing cheek to cheek as a sign or gesture of greeting, my friend. That is how they greet with the words "sala'am al'alaekum"!
