These Guys Decided To Have A Classic Instagram Girls Day Out, And Their Pics Are Hilarious
With the popularity of Instagram at an all-time high, people are beginning to notice the clichés and set formulas that many photographs follow. We all know and recognize the stereotypes: the feet in front of a paradise beach vista, the ‘explorer’ standing on a ridge, gazing thoughtfully over a distant mountain range.
There are certain ‘girl’ stereotypes too, which these guys trolled to hilarious effect, hashtags and all. However, when presented with the chance for a road trip, buddies Stevey and Doug decided to take it to the next level and send up the classic, Instagram-inspired ‘stereotypical girls day out.’ The pair, who have been friends for 8 years and are both avid outdoor enthusiasts, met at college and have since kept in touch despite them both moving back and forth across Canada.
“Doug came to visit for a couple days while he was back from BC, Stevey told Bored Panda. “We had plans to go on a camping trip but some appointments and tight schedules made us cancel it, so we had a free day. Doug was borrowing a sweet Dodge Challenger, so we decided to hit up a couple small towns in the area, do some hikes, have a pint and a bite.”
“I think the joke started once we drove past the sunflower field. There had been an article in the news about sunflower fields getting trampled in southern Ontario by people going in droves to get selfies, so it seemed topical. I think we were joking about hashtags and the idea for a “ Instagram girl’s day out” just sort of came together
All the poses are there, from yoga-zen by the lake to chilling with a glass of red at ‘wine o’clock,’ and it seems that the day was just as much fun as it looked. “Based on how much fun we had and the reaction from the online community I think we will do another one,” Stevey told us. “I think to keep everything balanced we should do a “stereotypical Instagram guy day out” as well. Although a girls day out part two would probably be more enjoyable since part one seemed to be about just enjoying ourselves, relaxing and laughing. I think the girls are on to something! Also, brother Doug makes a great girlfriend.”

#itswineoclocksomewhere What started out as a joke actually ended up being a delightful day with brother Doug. 10/10 would do again. Not shown is the all important girls road trip playlist. Must include Party in the USA and Bette Davis eyes. What is your song recommendation for the ultimate girls road trip playlist?

In one of the pics, instead of showing off his cleavage he showed off his majestic chest hairs 😂😂 10 out of 10, great job!
Honestly, if there wasn't text indicating that they were have a "women's day out" then there would be no indication of this being anything but two dudes having a good day. Too bad we feel the need to engender everything.
This has nothing to do with mocking *girls* having fun- this is everything to do with mocking instagram-whores who post staged and painfully fake/forced looking photos in order to get likes. If people are actually having fun then they won't feel the need to photograph every second of their day, they'd be too busy enjoying themselves to care.

Funny how the way women have fun starts out at something that obviously needs to be mocked by these two blokes. Glad they figured out that the way women have fun is actually really fun, maybe they learned something about their own prejudices.
Prejudices? Come on, lighten up. No need to go there. It was just some good old fashioned laughing with you while laughing at you. People are just so darned sensitive.
