Ever notice how happy everyone always seems in country songs? They always manage to make life sound so simple! Here are just some of the unrealistic expectations that Luke Bryan, Taytay and the rest have given us.
Expectation #1: Guys will serenade you every occasion they get…
…and do anything for you.
Reality: The men in your life sing to themselves. Out of tune. In the shower.
Expectation #2: You and your crush can communicate using nothing but your eyes.
Reality: You can barely flirt with words—let alone your eyes.
Expectation #3: All of your relationships will be dramatic and passionate.
Reality: Honestly, your idea of a perfect date is pizza and a comfy couch… with or without another person present.
Expectation #4: You will slay all of your enemies with perfect repartee.
Reality: You take their b.s. with a smile and whine about it later with your girlfriends.
Expectation #5: Your life will just be one giant party.
Reality: This is what will actually happen if you try to get drunk on a plane.
Expectation #6: You will actually enjoy whiskey.
Reality: You tried to like it, you really tried.
Expectation #7: Real men smile like this:
and shake it like this:
Reality: The guys you meet smile like this:
and shake it like this:
Expectation #8: You will look perfect in everything without even trying.
Reality: Jean shopping is actually kind of traumatic.
Expectation #9: All you need is a simple life.
Reality: Dirt roads and fresh air are nice and all, but you were sorta hoping for this kind of “simple life”—oops.
Yep, country music has ruined us.
