I think "Bromance" more accurately translates to just "Close Friendship". Which seems even worse to me - forget romance, we even see a simple close friendship between two men as "unusual" enough to warrant a separate term.

Don't you think that romantic love and being close friends are completely different things?

I don't know whose fucked up brain came up with the word 'bromance'.

Unless you’re suggesting something very unusual, I don’t think Perot and Jobs had what is normally described as “romance”.

What do you mean by this? Why would that be unusual?

> What do you mean by this? Why would that be unusual?

I think philwelch meant that it would be an unusual suggestion because the historical record doesn't support the existence of this particular romantic relationship, not that it would be unusual for two men to have (or to have had) a romantic relationship.

It would also be unusual for either Jobs or Perot personally, and would probably be unusual in the context of an investor/executive professional relationship as well, though one never knows for sure.
