Women and pints

LadyJ · 17-08-2005 01:47PM #1

I'm sure this has probably been discussed before but someone on fashion and appearance brought it up in some thread so I just wanted to throw it out here.

Why do some people find it "unattractive" for a women to drink a pint?

Seriously,I just don't see the problem with it! And for the people who say we should drink half pints,I ask you this,WHY? It just means going to the bar twice as much! What's the point?

Please share.....

I concur. Nothing wrong with it once she doesn't have a beer belly!

Half pints end up costing more and involve more walking, which is ok if she has a nice ass I guess

simu · 17-08-2005 01:52PM

I don't see the problem either although personally, I don't drink pints much anymore. It's only people above 50 that I've heard giving out about it tbh.

hussey · 17-08-2005 01:55PM

it's unattractive because they should be back in the kitchen

I prefer when a girl orders a pint

really hate when they order a vodka and diet coke (I hate the diet part!)

I'm sure it costs more to be drinking halves all the time as well, so as well as sending the poor bloke to the bar more often its costing him more as well. :rolleyes:

And its harder to carry a round of different size glasses back from the bar, makes things miuch easier if everyone just sticks to the pints and makes the rounds easier to remember as well.

Yeah my mam thinks its horrible to see a woman drinking a pint (Its not lady like) but like Simu, i havent heard anyone under 50 moaning about it. Cant beat an aul pint bottle of Bulmers with loads of ice

daywalker · 17-08-2005 01:58PM

id say its just the macho thing, guys think they're great when they can drink x number of pints but if a woman orders pints they're afraid of being shown up.

Sorry to call you on this one but it was hard to resist....
I'd be more concerned about my trip to the bar rather than sending a bloke to get it for me.

I will own up to the fact that it was me that wrote it in the fashion forum.

Firstly it was taken out of context. My comment was that I hate the look of a girl sitting down in front of a pint with a tight top on with beer belly and love handles hanging out from under her top and over her belt like someone squeezing a water balloon. Thats it! Thats what I dont like! If a girl has a weight problem, why flaunt it in those tops? why not dress respectably? Why not try to reduce the beer you drink instead of guzzseling it like you have to proove you can handle a night with the boyo's.

I love to sit down with a girlfriend and have a pint with her, I would prefer it to her drinking wine and being arse faced after two drinks, but not at that cost. Now before I get all the replies saying all girls that drink pints arent fat, yes I know that, there not! I am talking about the ones that are, and that drink pints and make no attempt at hiding it. If the roles were reversed and you were in a nightclub looking at a guy in a tight top with his gut stuck out the bottom of his top you might say the same.

Ah Lady J i'm begging you to give up the pints,you know i love you and i'm telling you this for your own good.The pints will catch up with you,drinking them is neither big nor clever.
Science, which has long focused on the effects of alcohol on men and boys, has been playing catch-up on you lovely ladies as well. Simple observation tells us that women tend to get drunk more quickly than men. Now we're learning precisely why: women's bodies have a higher ratio of fat to water, so alcohol is less diluted when it enters the bloodstream. They also have lower levels of an enzyme that helps break down alcohol. Emerging research shows that liquor also corrodes women's bodies more quickly. As adults, women tend to develop liver disease 10 to 15 years earlier than men, even if women consume only a fraction of the daily alcohol that men do.
Don't get me wrong Lady J,if i were selfish i'd let you drink the pints and then i'd go over and take advantage by kissing the face of you when you were three sheets to the wind,but i'm not selfish so i'm gonna plead once more,STOP WITH THE PINTS BUDDY

LadyJ · 17-08-2005 02:15PM

Tbh,I'd just suggest he excercise more!

O...K.....
Tbh,I don't drink pints all that much because I don't really like beer. However,I do drink them when I'm broke. I'm fully aware that in most cases women are physically less able to hold their drink,but that wasn't my point. That just means they should drink less pints,not that they shouldn't drink them at all.

I've already posted in another thread that I find girls who drink pints attractive and I make no apology for it. Besides, who cares? I drink rum n coke instead of pints sometimes. Does this make me, as a bloke, more or less attractive to the opposite sex?

Give over, there's more to it than that.
Anyone who has a problem with girls drinking pints obviously doesn't have any big problems...

Is that a bad thing?

Femelade · 17-08-2005 02:27PM

i've been drinking pints since i was 17, thats 8 yrs of drinking pints. the only comment people made was that the pint was bigger than me. (it wasnt)

the lads i drink with would kill me if i decided to not drink the pints, we all drink the same pints, rounds are easier that way.

i used to drink pints of murphy's in college alright but gave them up as i started to put on weight.

but i've never heard of it being unattractive in a girl.

My point was that people look for problems when they don't have "bigger fish to fry" so to speak. You look for something to grate, irritate, annoy... It's a part of being alive. Nobody is ever truly content.

Anyway, I have bigger problems to worry about than having a problem with women drinking pints, and I'm sure other ppl do too. It's just not that big a deal, you see what I'm trying to say?

danniemcq · 17-08-2005 02:34PM

in my opinion it is one of the sexiest things i can see about a woman. if she has a big pint in her hand (esp guinness) i go mad! and then if they play computer games i'm in heaven!

Ooooh, be wary of the female who enjoys gaming satisfaction, my young apprentice!!!
They just end up kickin' your ass at your favourite games. It's... unsettling.

Pints are for men, glasses are for women. Simple.

I get you. Ive made my point though, this has just spiralled out of context, my original point of girls with love handles and how they should calm down on pints (at least that was the meaning of my post) has well and truley gone.

Although it was in another forum anyway!

I only used your point in F and A as an example. This thread was merely inspired by your comment,I'm not having a go at you or anything. It just got me thinking is all.

I guess it all just comes down to personal opinion.

Personally, i find girls drinking pints pretty unattractive.
Especially if they're drinking guiness....*shudder*

That's just my personal opinion.

I just don't get what's so unattractive about drinking from a bigger glass.

chump · 17-08-2005 02:59PM

I dunno, I don't care when women drink pints...

But I don't like when a woman with me is drinking a pint, and drinking half my pace, and then when she's finishing it off it's almost warm...

Much better if the lad buys a pint, girl a class/bottle, yas both finish together and then send her off to buy the next round

And women drinking pints at the same rate as men (ie. 8+ on a night out) I wouldn't be into that! (basically I wouldn't find a lager lout girl attractive to me)

but... a girl drinking a handful of pints over a decent period, maintaining her FEMININITY while not letting the pint become too luke-warm... that's do'able

One of the sexiest things I've seen was a girl drinking a half pint of guinness, it just looked hot!

I wouldn't care what you bought yourself on your round though, so long as you come back with a pint for me I'd be happy.
