Question by California Dreamin’: Why do we call flavorful alcoholic drinks “girly drinks”, and beers “guy drinks”, when beers are weaker?
Think about it. Beers are weak and have low alcohol content, while the “girly drinks” are made with distilled hard liquor with a higher alcohol content. So, while the guy has his beer in his hand, the girl with her “Apple Martini” or “Mai Tai” is drinking the stronger beverage.
I’m a guy, and I drink both (only socially). I can be seen with either a beer in hand, or a margarita or some pina colada vodka/rum mixed beverage. Personally, I don’t really appreciate the term “girly drink”, because I like drinking them and the term is another form of socially restricting guys from doing partaking in certain activities. To me, they’re just drinks that taste good. No one ridicules a woman for having a beer in her hand, so I don’t think a man should be ridiculed for having a martini. Pretty stupid if you ask me.
It’s funny that it’s perfectly fine for a man to drink an orange juice, apple juice, strawberry-bannana smoothie, pina colada drink… but add alocohol to it — and he’s a queer! LOL!
sox fan: There’s plenty of areas where women get lucky. This isn’t just one of them. Women don’t buy drinks for men, women get in to clubs cheaper, women don’t go up and talk to men and face rejection (men have to do it). Women’s perks greatly outnumber men’s perks. The very few perks that men get, women complain about and create entire movements to rectify these imbalances. For example, women often complain that men are applauded and called players/studs for having sex with a lot of women, but women are considered “easy”, “whores”, and “slluts” for having sex with a lot of men. I say deal with it. It all balances out. We have it harder than women when it comes to getting sex. So it only makes sense that we get more accolades and appreciation for having sex. Women deserve no accolades for having sex since they don’t have to work for it.
SWB: I don’t know why you guys says it “sucks”. Who said you can’t drink them? Just drink the fruit-flavored drinks! Who cares about some dude insecure about his sexuality, so he has to hurl insults? I first started drinking in clubs at 18, and my first drink was a mixed drink “Sex On The Beach”. No one thought anything of it. Other guys were drinking mixed drinks too. Big deal.
Capricorn: At least try refuting what I said instead of “saying how pathetic”. Do women work as hard for sex as men? Yes or no? Secondly, women DO give accolades to men for having sex with a lot of women — just non-verbally. Usually the stud-player gets a lot of attention from other women, partially on the strength of his reputation (of getting a lot of girlfriends). They knew he was the “ladies man” and thus wanted to associate with him, whether they admit it to themselves or not. They weren’t trying to associate themselves with the virgin nerd guy that had no game and didn’t know how to talk to women.
So yes, men that are “ladies men” get a lot of attention/accolades from both men & women. Just in different ways. Sure, there will be some women/men turned off by it, but as a whole, the guy’s reputation as being popular with the ladies causes other women to flock to him as well.
Capricorn: You didn’t answer the question. Who works harder for sex, men or women? And calling a guy a “loser” for having to work for sex is an evil thing to say, especially as a woman when you don’t have to go through that. EVERY man has had to work for sex in some sort of way, either by buying things, going to lengths to impress her, etc. Then you contradict yourself by criticizing a man that gets with an “easy” woman, right after calling a guy a loser for getting with a woman that makes him “work” for it. But you’re right, the way it SHOULD be is that both the man and woman shouldn’t work for it — they both just get sex after the chemistry/friendship works out.
And I was speaking about studs & players. Never said I was one. Why do you have to insult me and the people I associate with?
Capricorn: You don’t know what it’s like to be a man, so again, to call a man a loser because he buys a drink or dinner for a woman makes no sense. Women are not under that pressure. Have you ever bought a dinner or drink for a man? You just seem to be a typical woman hell-bent on arguing, making mountains out of mole hills, and getting the last word in.

Because a man drinks vodka straight. A woman needs juice and the like to soften the blow. Also men drink tons of beers not just one or two.

my special friend after a few beers started this pathetic dance and I viewed it as a chance to capture a humiliating video.
