Yet More Proof Women are Impossible to Please (1 Viewer)

[Chadstroma]

The vodka, water and mio drink order is pretty questionable though. If I was on a date with a woman and she pulled that stunt, it would annoy me. I can't imagine a guy doing this.

I'm the opposite - drink whatever you want to drink, if you want to put Pappy 15 into your Coke, or mix some sugary umbrella drink with a screwdriver, if you're The Mountain and want to drink a Whiteclaw, whatever floats your boat. Vodka is tasteless, water is tasteless, so if you want a splash of flavor in there to go with the burn, go for it

Same here... I drink whatever the hell I want to drink and could not care less what anyone thinks about it. I am the one drinking it, not you. I even told her a story of going to Hawaii with some buddies. We go to a beach side bar and they both ordered Long Islands. I was thinking.... "Meh, I want something that is like tropical, an island drink!" but couldn't really think of anything other than a Pina Colada. I am not really a big fan of them but I was stuck on wanting a drink that felt like I should drink on an island. I knew my buddies would give me crap about it but I don't care and they know I don't care. So.... I ordered.
"Pina Colada please"
Bar tenders says "Pina what?"
Me looking at him like with a confused look like how did you not hear me "Pina Colada"
"Pina what?"
"Pina Colada."
"Pina what?"
"PINDA COLADA"
He says wuss and turns to make the drinks. My buddies literally fell off their stools laughing so hard.
He brings us our drinks, says to me "I helped you out so you can keep up with your friends."
THE STRONGEST PINA COLADA EVA!

Go ahead and judge. I don't care.

Sure when you are alone or in your own home but in public? On a date? It's a strange move.

Shouts absolute confidence to me. Like the kind of confidence you get hiding in some bush for hours with enemy all around to take one shot and kill some dude kind of confidence. Again, if you have lived your life like this dude has.... I think how you drink what you want to drink when you want to drink it is not a concern of yours. I applaud it. I prob would never do it just because of the logistics of remembering the bottle. I would just get a Cape Cod and be happy.

 

[Chadstroma]

If he wore Vans, would she think differently of him? I'm really kind of stuck on this Converse thing.

I would assume she meant tennis shoes. She wants a manly man in boots or something, not a boy in gym shoes. That's weird in 2023 but that is my guess here.

No. It was specifically Converse she had an issue with.

 

[Chadstroma]

"I don't give AF what you or anyone else thinks" is probably not the vibes I would want to send on a date- especially with an older woman who has kids.

Or it is the shark move that makes the most sense.

 

[Chadstroma]

In my experience, single moms looking for a man get easier to please the older they get.

She is early 40's. Very fit and very health conscious. A little too muscular for my taste, at least in the legs. Not unattractive at all but she wouldn't turn heads walking into a room either. If I was single, I wouldn't have chased her but has a cool personality to the point where I would be open to dating her in that scneario.

I know what you are saying. She seems content without a man though but obviously open to finding someone too.

This. Why do we care so much about what other people like? Your tastebuds are not mine.

My response for at least 20 years whenever anyone questions the manliness of what I am drinking has been "I'm confident in my heterosexuality, so I get to drink whatever I want."

Works best in mixed company.

I have used similar lines in the past.

I don't like beer so that drops a huge portion of the option off of your typical "manly" drinking. I also like fruit/sweet flavors so that often tends to be more 'girly' drinks. My mainstay is a Cape Cod but if I sway from that, there has been some "What? I am secure in my manhood to not have to order drinks to convince people of it." type responses.

Same here... I drink whatever the hell I want to drink and could not care less what anyone thinks about it. I am the one drinking it, not you. I even told her a story of going to Hawaii with some buddies. We go to a beach side bar and they both ordered Long Islands. I was thinking....

My oldest turned 21 yesterday. So his mom and I took him for a drink, he’ll probably go out with friends this weekend.
We took him to our favorite brewery which makes their own whiskey, vodka, and moonshine. I asked what he wanted, he went with a moonshine margarita. A fair first drink, my wife drinks a flavored version. I chose the blood orange whiskey sour. A bit fruity but ****ing delicious.

I do like beer, but lately I’ve found sours can be fantastic so I’ve been ordering them but I always sample first. Even through this bar named their sour “hey girl hey” - girly name, delicious sour.

I rarely drink, as I never developed a taste for alcohol. But I love sweets. So when I do imbibe, it’s typically the fruitiest drink on the menu. If undecided, I‘ve even asked for “something girly”, to make light of drinking machismo.

Equating masculinity with beverage choice is ridiculous, but I agree with others that the production of bringing one’s own bottle + Mio, and mixing it on a date is strange, at the minimum.

Her superficiality judging the Converse shoes is off putting as well. It’s also troubling she asked (or he volunteered) so much about his finances on a date (or worse, that info was provided pre-date).

I did a really girly spritzy type drink at a very nice restaurant in London, called Daddy Issues. I had to fight and fight to keep that name, and it was our bestseller, nothing even close.

She acknowledges that it is stupid and superficial but it bothers her and she doesn't know why. I can respect that as long as she is self aware enough to see that. I know when I was dating there were things about girls that turned me off and I knew it was superficial.

I don't know the length of it but they are 'dating' so it has gone well beyond a date. He has met the family and even was over for the FCS Championship game viewing party the family had as her cousin is the HC of SD State.

 

[Zow]

Reminds me of my sister. She told me once she she went out with this kind, successful, funny, good looking guy. When I asked her when her next date was she acted like I was crazy and told me she wasn't going out with him again. When asked why she explained he wore white New Balance shoes (yes, the dad shoes) and there was no way she could ever handle that.

Yes. Yes, they do.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

We have a friend who went out with a guy whose family owns a significant number of chain restaurants. He runs their Ops. Guy has $$ and took her on a nice date. Good dude, she was into him, etc. Ended it. She couldn't get over his height. He wasn't shorter than her, but he was "about an inch too short."

And yes, complains about the guys who are out there. Crazy. With a capital C.

 

[Da Guru]

I have to share this... I can't stop laughing about it.

One of the Moms at my kids swim club is single. Nice lady, we talk often as we both attend a lot of their practices and she hangs out with me usually at meets.

Yesterday she tells me about a guy she is dating but prefaces it with "I really want a manly man and I dunno...."

She goes on to tell me that this guy is retired but only in his early 50's. He is retired from the military and law enforcement. I further find out that he was a Scout Sniper in the Marines and was a US Marshall working their child trafficking division. He is taking her to a bull riding rodeo soon because it is "Americana at it's finest". He likes sports and she shows me a picture of him and he looks exactly what you would think a retired Scout Sniper would like like... burly manly man looking dude.

Her older daughter loves him to death. She told her that she would be watching and she better not break his heart.

Oh and he apparently has money not just from some lawsuit settlement and another one that can be worth as much as $16 million once done. He is starting a business because he is bored. Cooks for her all the time.

So... I am like, ok, what is the problem? She tells me two things which I could not stop laughing about and mocking her and making fun of her for.
1. He wears converse.
2. When they first went out, he ordered a Vodka and Water, took out a Mio or Crystal Light bottle and put it in the water and then mixed the drinks.

THAT IS IT.



I asked her... what in the world could make this guy more manly man? This dude makes me feel like a wussy man!

Women. Ammirit?

I know a few hot women friends of my wife who always order vodka and soda, they pull the Mio out and give it a little squirt. I have tried it and it is good. Plus no calories. So they guy is also ripped too!

Converse? He must be hipper than her.

This thread reminds me of a convo with a friend who texted me recently asking for "guy advice" (no, I wasn't in to her... don't ask). You know what her "put off" thing was about the guy she was asking about? That he wore a hat in the gym. I wish I was making that up.

 

[shuke]

2. She was flirting with you, and all of this was a coded message directed at you

Yup

I have seen some of the NFL pundits wear them. They do not look good on chunky ex-lineman or Shaq with suits.

I am willing to bet the original woman in question would be happier if the guy was wearing the plain, more expensive sneakers that are popular.

Yup. It is the "why are there no good guys?" that kills me.

And I bet if some guy didn't go on a second date with her because her boobs were too small, she would rant and rave about how superficial it is and never have it dawn on her the hypocrisy.

Please distribute the knowledge on how to know the difference

 

[Chadstroma]

Mio? Wtf? All that manliness dashed away in a couple of squeezes.

Mmmnnn..... Kirkland water bottle, Aldi lemonade pack and a Mio to add flavor. Every single day.

I started on it after kidney stones. Doctor said Crystal Light is great for helping avoid them forming again. Then found Aldi had the same but cheaper. Added Mio and other squirt stuff to change up the flavors. Now, I don't drink soda. 90% of what I drink is water or one of these concoctions.

You know how much I care if you judge me on it? Less than if you judged me for drinking a Pina Colada.

When I was in high school, I thought beat up Chucks looked awesome. They probably still do on high school kids.

I love the low cut white ones, think they look great with khakis, or cuffed jeans. No socks. Like this.

I see more women pull off the black high tops than men.
