Ok, so apparently this #LAD culture has only emerged over the past few years. I think not. Sure, sure the films paint the picture of true gentleman who treat their partner with full respect and romance. But I'll be honest here, #LAD is not a new thing. Ok maybe the hashtag is, thanks to the beautiful development of social networking. Guys drinking at the pub, having a laugh, acting stupid and looking at women is nothing new.
I'll also be really honest here. I love the idea of #LADS. Don't get me wrong, I do not appreciate people disrespecting others or making anyone feel insecure or unworthy. But give me a guy in a pub with a heap load of banter, or a few beers, a pizza and a decent film any day. Of course, I like a bit of romance, the odd bunch of flowers or a kiss goodnight. I just cannot get my head round the girls that seem to completely hate this #LAD culture. I like a man to be a man. If he wants to be with his friends and look at girls, why shouldn't he? I will happily look at a guy in the gym, or me and the girls will openly discuss who looks good or what we want from our ideal guy. It happens, it's natural. (There is a tiny issue with it though, unless the #LAD is hot he should not judge others. But that is just my opinion)
Let us also point out here, a huge amount of girls are happily willing to show off a bit of bum or cleavage, or a cheeky text. Yes, yes, I hear you... what about feminism? But actually aren't girls in control a little bit here, they have more power over a guy than they think. I personally have high standards and high morals, and if a guy disrespected me or one of my friends I wouldn't be happy, as long as that line isn't crossed I think it is perfectly acceptable. No aggression or nothing too personal, but suggesting a girl should live in the kitchen is ok, because at the end of the day, we all know she will not. Girls and guys just want to have fun and as long as no one is getting seriously hurt, lets just be frank, it's just banter. And who can possibly say they don't enjoy banter. We all do it, taking the mick out of someone is the new way of telling them you love them. It's all just fun and games.
That's it really. Get in the kitchen and make a sandwich now, yea?
