Ladbrokes Casino have recently conducted the ultimate LAD survey to discover how our noble nation separates the men from the boys by assessing a variety of tasks, challenges and activities.
We’ve decided to pull out a few of the key pointers and put our favourite Arsenal lads to the test:
· The nation definitely appreciates a good FIFA player, as 9% of the nation awards you 3 man points for World Class status (35% of respondents deemed this manly) on the and 9% award 5 lad points for legendary status.
· According to respondents, Country music is the most embarrassing to have in your CD collection with 10% saying they would subtract the maximum 5 lad points and 47% of those surveyed deeming it unmanly.
· Apparently the acceptable ‘selfie’ trend doesn’t stretch to men with 23% of the nation choosing to deduct the maximum 5 lad points to any man taking snaps of just them and 60% of respondents deeming this unmanly! (The 25k likes on Arsenal’s victory selfie at White Hart Lane would probably say otherwise!)
Not Cool or Cool?
· Respect goes to those who complete a Man Vs Food style challenge with the majority of respondents awarding +5 lad points and 48% of respondents deeming this manly.
· The majority of respondents would award +2 lad points for being able to grow epic facial hair with 45% of the nation deeming this manly. Yes Cashley we mean you!
Cole beard – Not Cool or Cool?
