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.

It wasn't the Greek guy off Dinner Date was it??
I saw it too and it made me cringe a little inside when he said it....

I like men who let you know upfront they are sexist cunts . SO much easier to avoid that way.

Anyway if he knew anything about beer, He would know why women love it. ANd I could never love a man who drank shit beer.

I confess it was dinner date haha it wasn't the Greek guy, although he made me cringe when he said his girl should sort her hair out for him before he woke up, so he would think 'hey beautiful', he was one creepy guy.
It was one of the other men at the start when the lady was deciding which menu to choose.

I love beer, especially real ale. Bollocks to anyone who says its not lady like. I wouldn't want to go out with a bloke who had that attitude.

lady is patriarchal twaddle for keeping women in line, also I drink pints.

Does anyone actually waste brain space on worrying if they are acting 'lady like'. I just act like myself and don't give nonsense labels like that a second thought.

I like both beer and wine and have always loathed attitudes like the one you describe. In my younger days I have been known to deliberately order a pint in that sort of situation.

In my first year of work when I was very much the new girl (and probably looked a good deal younger and more innocent than I really was!) we all went out to the pub one lunch time and one of the senior men on the team asked me in an oh-so-patronising voice "And what would 5foot like?" I simply couldn't resist asking for a pint of bitter please.

I pretty much only drink beer, but then I've never been accused of being ladylike! I'm at my worst when I'm on the cocktails, the amount of booze in them makes me more loud and sweary than usual.

Thewomancalledjayne I haven't got a bloody clue I drink it but I'm not a wine drinker at all!!
Maybe he thinks I'll look ladylike I need to ask him when he comes in from work!

When i went to uni i was an outcast because i drank pints. The first night everyone from our halls went out and i ordered a pint. The gasps were audible and none of the girls/women spoke to me again after that. The next morning i woke to posters in the hall saying 'my name is Koala, i am woman, hear me roar'. The girls/women thought the fact i was a feminist was ugly and hilarious.

They used to order 2 half pints and stand with one in each hand. How can you hold your fag???

I only drink pints

I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks, in fact if anyone I worked with said anything about not being 'ladylike' I'd likely call them a cunt just to confirm it.

I went to a ball recently and stood in my full evening dress drinking pints of guinness. DH was in mess dress drinking vodka and lemonade. Whenever we get served the pint is always put in front of him an the V&L has a pink straw in it gets given to me. We swap and DH asks for a sparkler

I expect man like that would just want a woman to sit there and look pretty. Not a man worth dating.

I like beer and cider, and have always drunk pints. I remember being in a pub in Dublin and having a pint of Guinness, and actually the men said they liked seeing a girl choose a pint rather than a half... Then they explained the rules of hurling to me. It was a great afternoon.

Question: what is the definition of a lady in this scenario and why should you aspire to be one?

I drink pints.

It is a very old fashioned, and lower-middle-class, stance IMO.

the whole notion of being "ladylike" really is.

What fresh hell is this? I've heard it all now.

I'd be more worried about my social cachet if I plastered endless pathetic wine gags all over FB, for my tottering pals to say LOLZ to.

You don't see beer drinking broads doing that, do you?

The day I post a faux old fashioned postcard asking if it's 'wine o'clock' please take me to Betty Ford, and sort me the fuck out.

Mrs Koala at DH asking for a sparkler.

I drink pints, always have, always will. I can do Lady Bracknell type ladylike if it's required, other than that, sod off, I'll do what I like thanks and morons akin to this chap can go dangle their bits in the pond for all I care!

'lolz' makes me feel a bit stabby .... I am losing composure now

I drink pints. Preferably of real ale, I love a nice CAMRA pub. Hell, I've even been to breweries.

Mind you, I would piss myself laughing if anyone called me a lady.

I went to the bar to buy me and my dh a drink. He wanted a pint...I had to carry it back to him. In all honesty I was so embarrassed to hold it thinking everyone will think its mine!

I hate beer. I think a glass of wine in hand looks nicer than a pint, but I couldn't care less what other women drink.

I like wine and I like lager.

Just not in the same glass. It's not ladylike to mix your drinks.

I agree who the hell wants to be a lady?

I'm all woman and I like a pint.

koala where did you go to uni? At my uni we all drank pints sometimes of cinzano and lemonade ugh
