Why are dudes INSECURE when it comes to drinking liqour?

crankyelbow, why are trying to be so politically correct? I don't even think these things you're talking about are learned, but in fact just another example of impress-the-female bravado that comes natural to herd animals, which humans are. even if everyone alive right now dropped the stereotype about real men drinking real drinks, I'm positive that opinion would be revived in less than 100 years.

 

Politically Correct is having an opinion, not the assigned conservative definition - there is nothing "correct" about those views.

You have no faith in the human race... thats the mentality that keeps us where we are at - you have to be progressive, there would be no reason for such mentality to come back 100 years from now if people simply remained progressive... in fact I can't imagine what the human race could accomplish in 100 entirely progressive/open minded years.

Who on here do I have to impress? Why would I want e-recognition from the opposite sex? Perhaps my goal is to cyber every chick on here? "hooking up" has never been one of my strong points, not to mention I've been with my girlfriend for 3 years.

Everything is learned, although I come up with many of my ideals myself, they result from what I have learned and pondered... ideals that consider the future for generations to come, not just what I worry about tomorrow.

If I was only concerned about myself I wouldn't even be on here, what would be the point? I likely would have taken a completely different path in life.

 

you're right, I don't have any faith in the human race because I think faith is a stupid thing to have in the first place. I'm not saying I endorse aggresive macho posturing, because I don't, but it's just something that happens and will always happen as long as animals exist.

I'm not saying you're trying to impress anyone on here, I was talking about men in general. they want to mate, so they try to one-up each other to demonstrate that they are the best viable mate. sports, money, looks, muscles, power...

 

i'm going ot continue to joke around...i dont' want to be apart of any society that can't joke around

i'm gonna continue to berate people who buy girly drinks because its funny

 

Ahhh, I misunderstood.

If you have no faith in the human race, you have no faith in the future... and in that we are all doomed. Sorry, I can't accept the world to be doomed, people can most definitely change... if not tomorrow, perhaps 200 years from now... but I will set such change in motion.

 

Plenty other things to joke about, much more intelligent, witty, and funny things.

Politics perhaps?

I don't think its funny, at all

Its your choice to either be always constructive, or carry along the issues that continue the world's downword spiral, I've explained my position, its up to you to make that choice.

 

i've made my choice...my choice isn't going to make the world spiral downword.

this is situational humor - not a time to randomly say a political joke.

 

well, faith for what in the future? a more open, cerebral and humane people to develop? I'm not saying it won't happen, just that it doesn't look like it's in the cards. what would lead me to believe this would happen? people don't interest me much anyway, aside from the fact that I am one and have to deal with others much of the time. whatever happens after I'm dead doesn't make any difference to me. do you really think you can overturn cultural norms that have been around longer than agriculture and tools?

 

exactly.

 

i just think that crankyelbow is way more sensitive on this topic than he should be. i know he SAID that he'll drink whatever he likes and be okay with it, but i'm thinking he may have more of a discomfort about than the rest of us do. it's just a beverage. it's like teasing a friend over sartorial choices. it's a form bonding over absurdity. but if you're not really confortable about your choices and are only pretending to be so, you're going to be way more uncomfortable about it. any choice we make is open to teasing. what's not okay is arbitrary mocking of something that is without choice and without cause for mockery.

 

well beer is the weakest shite ever,how is it manly to dring 4% crap,cider6% is better and all liqures 32-40% are waaay higher in alc,and cider fuckswith lightweight stomachs so its more "manly" men who drink beer suck,

 

4% beer?!! that's horrible!!

 

not all beer is 4%
not all beer is made to be equal.
i've had beer that tops ou at 18%
a beer that is 8-9% is pretty strong - i had 4 last night and i was feeling good.

 

4% beer, in Ireland?

and there are beers with over 20% alc. by volume.

 

Regular Guinness (draught) is actually quite low in alcohol (about 4.2%). The Guinness "extra stout" is about 6%, and some of the Guinness FOREIGN extra stouts go up to around 7.5%.

But yeah, I don't normally judge a beer by its alcohol content, because there are some that are really good that are relatively low in alcohol. Beers range in alcohol content from 3-24%, depending on the style and its ingredients. Obviously the beers with ingredients that give it more fermentable sugars are going to be higher in alcohol, which is why imperial stouts and barleywines rank near the highest.

 

I drink what I want, nobody will tell me what to drink lol!

 

Guys tease each other. A guy can't order a chick drink without being teased about it. Thats our culture.

If you wanna change people perceptions Take it like a man, don't get your panties in a knot, drink your mai tai, and have some fun with it.

I say right on Fitzy. You keep chasing that rainbow.

 

i have the rainbow...its in my drink

 

if yer not drinking straight grain alcohol, 190° or better, you aint a man.

 

man if they had a drink with a rainbow in it.....man.......*le sigh*
