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?
Here’s how people reacted to the hilarious send-up

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.

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.
Load More Replies...I absolutely LOVE it when guys have this kind of sense of humor! SEIZE THE DAY, no matter what sex you are!
I didn't know how to phrase this, and I know it will get down votes, but this is my 14-year-old girl's opinion. I believe that this is sexist and stereotypical a lot of the time my friends and I will spend quite a bit of time taking photos like this together because guess what it is fun okay and maybe yes it is a bit stupid and a bit silly, but it is fun to do. And if you say that is what technology is doing to us maybe look at the countless rich people from history who paid a fortune to have somebody paint them. And yes it is kind of funny this post I enjoyed reading it, but I wish it was less making fun of. Let people do what they want. Teenage girls or boys taking pleasure, silly, satisfying photos doesn't effect you so please stop hating on us. Sorry if that sounded angry or was very long I just wanted to get my opinion out :)
I'm not going to down vote you but if you read the opening lines "people are beginning to notice the clichés and set formulas that many photographs follow. We all know and recognize the stereotypes" you'll note that it's not saying that all women act like this when they're having fun, it's making fun of the Streotypical photos that you see(Some) women take to indicate they're having fun, Not All Women.

Don't worry about what other people think and don't judge or stereotype people on how they enjoy themselves. Life's too short to spend time judging or worrying about other's opinions of you. If you are genuinely doing nothing wrong go for it. And most of all enjoy it. Remember today's fun is tomorrow's happy memories. ☺☺☺☺☺
But what if they mocked stereotyped black people having fun? Or gay people? Would it be funny then? You will claim that it's not the same, because oppressed minorities and all. But are women not oppressed this day? Especially with what's going on nowadays? Call me sensitive, but I would reply that I would have no problem with them doing that among themselves (I like stupid jokes), but on the internet it's just silly and pathetic...

I can only comment on how BEAUTIFUL the nature looks over there. Damn, that landscape... <3
I found the pictures a d o r a b l e lol, especially the first one where the guy with the beard puts his head towards the sunflower awww
Ah yes, men getting attention and praise for doing the bare minimum amount of effort needed to belittle women. A timeless classic. Next time, just call a stranger a b***h in a comment. Same result, even less effort needed.
I can't find their freaking account :( Any captain here that knows it?
Why are people down voting you we are definitely not all like that and even if we do it sometimes it is for fun and nothing serious sorry if you dont approve of our fun.
Load More Replies...Interesting and also complete b******t how girls and women who just like to have fun and do our own thing is okay to be mocked by others. We just can’t f*****g win can we? No matter what we do, even if we’re not hurting anyone else, we’re still bashed and made fun of.
It's you who is talking about "winning", creating a completely unnecessary war rhetoric. You're clearly not having enough fun if you react like that to a simple, harmless IG stupidity. For the record, I am a woman.
Load More Replies...maybe not banned because you should be able to express opinions and I do agree it comes off quiet sexist maybe not boring or stupid definitely not original. But I do believe your comment was very negative but you were expressing your opinion so go ahead.
