Girl ordering beer on first date

[PollyMolly1234]

What are your thoughts about this?

Hahahahahahaha
I'd have halves but order 2 at a time
LOL

I ordered a few pints of beers once on a first date. I have been married to him now over 12 years

Just be yourself. If you drink pints, order a pint!

@GaryWilmotsTeeth that reminds me of a time when I ordered half a cider and a diet coke and got presented with a pint glass containing a mixture of both. Barman was quite pissed off that I hadn't specified I wanted two separate drinks. Cider ice-cubes sound nice though. I might make some in the summer.

Of course these "rules" exist to be broken, and by both sexes

Having said that, we buy yoghurt quite a bit, I've never seen DH eat it

I'm going to go and ask him if he's a misogynist, right now

we all eat pies and steak and salad so that's OK

You must wear a neat little hat and white gloves.

You must have a chaperone and he must hold doors open for you because you can’t possibly manage a big scary door whilst carrying a handbag.

You can’t chose you own drink. He will order for you.

Oh GOD that's revolting. Why on earth did he assume that? It can't exactly be a common order

Depends what you 'identify' as today

Man?

Woman?

Fucking Header?

YOU DECIDE

steak is for men

pie is for men

pints are for men

now I want a steak pie for my lunch. probably will skip the pint as I am at work.

Sorry meant to say fuckin' 'eader.

Well, as Micky Flanagan points out in one of his stand-up routines, wine is much stronger than beer, supposed to be enjoyed with food, and if he turned up drinking 13% beer (supposing such a thing were available), his mates would ponder if he was OK. So not sure where the idea that 'whain' was somehow a lady-drink, and not really boozing, came from. I guess the point is, drink what you want, but not too much.

Wow - did I just wake up in the 1950's!

I am clearly uncouth, I didn't think that this was even a thing/consideration anymore.

Oh for goodness sake OP, drink what you like in whatever size glass you like!

I've never drunk anything else except pints, not going to piddle about with halves here. And I used to drink Guinness, so....

I hate beer and honestly, I feel embarrassed if I'm holding a pint.... Let's say if we were out and my oh asked me to hold his pint while he goes to the loo.

I admit this is my issue though and couldn't care less if other women drink pints, nor would I judge them for doing so.

Oh I would definitely go for the Guinness....lovely drink and my favourite except I have to have a straw as I can't pick up the glass!!

This reminds of a scene from Men Behaving Badly:

Woman: "I'll have a pint of lager."

Gary: "A pint of lager?? You mean two halves - the girl's way - but in a pint glass?"

My favourite MN comment I've seen for a while. Love it!

Seriously OP, this is RIDICULOUS. Order what you fancy, drink what you fancy. The last people I heard commenting on a woman drinking a pint were my ridiculously old fashioned parents 30 years ago

@Peartree17

13% beer (supposing such a thing were available)

it is available, as my brother found out to his cost! he was in Prague for work, went to a café with a colleague for lunch, ordered a beer to go with it, as did his colleague. it was only afterwards that they realised they had both drunk a pint of 13.5% beer.

they weren't very productive that afternoon.

You’re worried it might look blokey? Blokey?

Jesus wept. Order a pint and a packet of pork scratchings. Talk about the football. Act out every male stereotype you can possibly imagine. It doesn’t fucking matter!

steak is for men
salad is for women

Pie is for men
yoghurt is for women

gin and tonic is for women
pints are for men

Oh my goodness, I never knew it was so complicated!
Worth identifying as a gender neutral foodie do you think?

He probably will think you have a penis if you order a beer

Surely there is no such thing as blokey drinks in 2018?! I have been happily drinking pints since long before I met DH 18 years ago. It would never occur to me to order anything other than what I wanted to drink. I drank pints of guiness at my wedding once the meal (and wine) were out of the way - topping it up with halves whenever someone offered to buy my a drink. I can put away a fair bit of guiness without getting drunk so it seemed a sensible choice :) I had a few comments from elderly relatives who found it amusing (similarly at works christmas lunches) but have never had any real negativity. I am amazed people still think this way.

See how you feel on the night and order whatever you feel like drinking. Hopefully he will do the same. If he judges you for ordering a pint I would suggest you step away quickly.
