Is drinking unattractive to men?

[SunnyCritic]

My friend has been on some dates with a guy. She gets all anxious over everything. She told him that she went out the night before for bottomless brunch and had to get to work the next morning so was very much “regretting her decisions from the night before with a splitting headache”

Anyway she rang me saying “do men not like women who drink” I did say it’s a bit dramatic to assume women don’t have fun. I also told her if a man can’t appreciate her for how she is then well he’s for the bin anyway😂

Thoughts? Should she regret what she said? I told her it’s not like she does this weekly so I don’t really know what’s bad about it?

The bigger problem is her overthinking every little thing she said.

Some men might judge, some men might not. They aren't all the same.

She can't filter everything she says on dates jn case "men don't like women like that". That way madness lies

Some probably. I don't find drinkers attractive as a woman so there's probably men who don't like women who drink either.

It seems the guy enjoys drinking though🤷‍♀️

I think most people male or female find drunkenness unattractive.

But we have a very strange drinking culture and attitudes in the UK where drunkenness is given a pass as fun, or letting your hair down or whatever. And that isn't applied to other damaging excessive behaviour.

Most people enjoy a few drinks without it being an issue so if he is put off by that then it's his problem. However I think she's probably just overthinking it.

I don't find hypocrites attractive so if they were both drinking and he objects, wanker. However, heavy drinking isn't attractive either, especially if you aren't drunk, so there's that.

Sex isn't relevant here except for sexist men.

Well what did he say to her after she told him? Without that essential piece of information we have no way of knowing whether he disapproves.

In my experience, many men are overly keen to ply their dates with drink. Can't imagine why...

Did he actually comment or is it something she’s guessing?

How has he indicated that he disapproves of her getting drunk?

Drinking excessively is unattractive to everyone.

It's very attractive to people with problem drinking.

Well 😬 presuming a brunch starts pre lunch and there's a hangover the next morning it sounds like she had a lot. But if he likes a drink it surely would be a green flag that she does too? 'Regretting the decisions of the night before' would alarm me - a night in jail? A fight at the kebab shop?

I don't drink though and would probably say 'what happened!'

Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

If I went out on a date with someone and they were whinging about how hungover they were with a headache, I’d probably be a bit annoyed because it would feel like the date was a bit of a downer if they had a headache and weren’t feeling great. No one likes to feel like their time isn’t that valuable to someone that they couldn’t manage to turn up not hungover.

That said, it could also be he’s just not that into her.

After a certain age getting so pissed or stoned that you can't function with any dignity is deeply unattractive. Male or female.

In my own opinion someone in their late teens/early 20s getting wasted is mildly amusing. The amusement factor goes down gradually after that and once you're into mid 40s and 50s it looks pathetic and a bit worrying.
