Do you like Lad Culture/Behaviour?

[T*]

A lot of people love it, and a lot hate it.
Does 'Banter' leave you with a smirk or with a :umm2: face?

[Josy]

The word banter doesn't bother me at all, we were using it for a long time before it became a 'thing'

Lads don't bother me either, each to their own.

I like banter, that's not just a lad thing.. but the 'lad' culture itself disgusts me, it's just a race to see who can be perviest, it's gross.

[Marsh.]

I don't mind "banter", that's fine. Not necessarily a LAD thing either.

But the stereotypical lad culture in general, no I don't.

[T*]

I agree

[reece(:]

No... I don't find objectifying women funny at all and cannot stand most of the "lads" I know since they tend to be arrogant and cocky, it's just not my type of people at all.

I don't think that's solely confined to 'lads' tbf, even on here I have seen much more pervy conversations by members that aren't laddish.

[LukeB]

Banter obviously

MB shade :hehe:

It's not solely a 'lad' thing no, but the majority of them are all about seeing how many girls they can bed and who can bed the fittest 'bird' it's just demeaning and gives men a bad name, especially the 'lads' who think it's acceptable to cheat and be pervy just because they're boys and 'thats what they do'

[Amy Jade]

It's just really cringe to be honest and most guys who act like 'LADs' are just putting on an act anyway.

What's that got to do with anything? People can like sports and not talk 'sassy' and still not like the 'lad' culture :think:

[LukeB]

there is nothing wrong with people being lads

No there's not anything wrong with people being lads, but they'd be viewed better if they acted like better people :laugh:

I know first hand from seeing someone I know change into a LAD stereotype after a haircut, so embarrassing :joker:

[Jake.]

Banter is fine, it's just a word

LAD culture is grim though

[Liam-]

Don't even get me started on the cringey Joey Essex haircut, ****ing hell it's beyond atrocious :facepalm:

[Samm]

No, even the name lad is cringe on it's own, banter is ok only if you don't shout out "OH DONT WORRY ITS ONLY BANTER"

[Amy Jade]

Pretty much the same, let me guess the haircut was like this?

Actually without banter we would never of had those Richard Keys videos so i'm all for it
It was just banter.

This thread is so sexist.

Probably not in the extreme sense that everyone defines it on here. I would just use 'lads' like I would 'blokes/guys/etc.' The stereotype of a 'LAD' that people moan about isn't even that big of a thing or that common really, and most the people who do act like that are just taking the piss with it

[Redway]

Nowt wrong with banter (and it's not confined to just the lads either) but actual lad culture is deplorable.

Lad culture being utterly disgusting :umm2:

agreed with this, and the word 'banter' doesn't bother me at all.

[Ramsay]

it was just...banter

[Mystic Mock]

I'm more in the middle of both options as I think some parts of Lad Culture can be amusing, but other parts of it are completely disgusting to me.

I voted no on the poll though as I like people of both genders to be individuals than playing up to gender stereotypes.

[Ammi]

women can't do banter, sorry Ammi

[Kyle]

Now I know I gave up my 'lad' status the moment I signed up to a big brother forum but I'm the closest thing to a lad we have here so I'm gonna stick up for em. The environment can be a very good one for the most part. Most men know where to draw the line on things and if your comfortable a bit of friendly jibing is good.

Don't confuse a couple of half naked Geordies prancing about on a tv show for being a 'lad' cos those bellends don't represent anybody.

I don't have a problem with how anyone acts as long as it doesn't negatively effect anyone else, different strokes for different folks and all that. :shrug:

Yep it's a pretty big spectrum. I know the types people are on about. I just take it all with a pinch of salt.
