If you drink beer you can still be a lady...

[heatseeker]

watching some crap day time TV and a man (on a dating show) said he likes a girly girl who drinks wine, he would go for that type over a girl who drinks a half a pint because they are lady like.
I like the taste of beer and can't stand the taste of most types of wine, but still like to think I act lady like.
I also know ladies who drink wine and are not lady like.

I have, many moons ago, sat in a pale yellow taffeta ball gown with a pint glass, not a schooner, one of the old ones with dimples and a handle.

I was probably more 'ladylike' on that evening than any day in my life since.

And someone who wanted a 'girly girl' would be shoved in the nearest biin by me.

You get drunker faster on wine than on beer, as it's a smaller glass and more alcoholic. Not sure there's much ladylike (or gentlemanly) about being drunk.

I like beer, I like wine. I drink what I want when I want it and don't let someone else's opinion worry me about it. Of course you can still be a lady! Not that you'll catch me being called that very often...

God i hate all that. The worst are the women who say it. It's so sexist and old fashioned. I could never date a man like that. I bet he expects his dinner on the table every night and thinks red lace underwear is sexy ugh. Women who think wine will instantly make them appear classy are hilarious. The worst behaviour you see out nearly always comes from women who've drunk too much wine, the stroppiness, the fight-picking, the crying.

Define ladylike?

what a massive twat. a man who is intimidated by a woman drinking beer obviously has a tiny dick.

ladylike my arse.

I like wine, I like beer, I like champagne, I like cider as long as it's wet I'll drink it

And to hell with the half pints, I'll take a pint

What you drink doesn't make one tiny bit of difference IMO.

My DH insists on buying me wine I bloody hate the stuff (apart from 1) I'd rather he bought me a bottle of vodka!

But if I was to go into a pub I would order a half lager rather than a pint!

Don't worry, it's sorted!

chick beer

Thank goodness for that!

I love a ladylike glass of wine. I also love a ladylike pint of cider.

I don't want to be a 'lady' though. Outdated patriarchal concept.

I'm basically teetotal. I do very occasionally have a cider though and I deliberately, and defiantly, have a pint instead of a half! Bollocks to being ladylike.

And who drinks half pints anyway?

He sounds like a dickhead. Sometimes I like wine, sometimes I like beer, sometimes I like Bacardi. All of those times I've managed to retain possession of my fanjo and tits, and I've never once grown penis whilst drinking beer.

Hmm. If I met a man who said that I think I'd probably go the bar and order a beer deliberately - and I'd buy a pint rather than a half.

The sort of man who feels that women should behave in a ladylike fashion sipping wine rather than beer is also likely to be the sort of man who believes possession of a vagina comes with an inbuilt desire to pick up his dirty socks for him.

Why do you want to be 'a lady' though? I don't give a shiny shit about being thought ladylike - that's a patriarchal construct designed to keep me in my place. Bugger that for a game of soldiers!

It's a TV dating show. Hardly representative of real life views of normal people! Ignore.

Weelady why does he do that? Do you buy him stuff he doesn't like too?

I hate wine
But then I don't like beer either (except ginger beer)

My DGM is absolutely repulsed by women drinking out of pint glasses. Except she'll happily drink two half pints if smooth bitter. WHATS THE BLOODY DIFFERENCE?!

Unfortunately I know people in RL who do make comments about beer drinking women. It's just one of those stupid misconceptions about women.
I do also prefer stronger (expensive) lager/beer not for getting wasted on, I again prefer the taste and I get comments about this all the time.

My dad is like that - he gets rather tense at my not being very 'ladylike'. Apparently I'd be a lot happier if I were just more feminine.

I brew my own beer. It's really good fun.

Half pints are a waste of time. I love a nice cold pint of lager. Yummy.

I'm not sure I want to be a lady anyway!

Am I the only person thinking of Al Murray?

I also know people who make stupid comments about beer drinking women.

The funniest one I had was an older male family member of DH's who sneered at me because I drank pints of beer and commented it was unladylike and he would be shocked if any of daughters did.

That would be one of his ladylike daughters who was a page 3 girl then?

I just asked dp and he said that's rubbish. I'm a girlie girl and I normally drink cider (pints). I act much more ladylike when I've been drinking cider than when I drink wine because wine makes me ridiculously shouty!

We once went into a pub and ordered a pint of bitter and an Archers and lemonade. The guy automatically put the pint in front of DH, then made some snarky comment about who 'had the balls' in our marriage when I swapped them over. I could have decked him
