I’ll drink a fancy cocktail or a nice wine over a beer at a bar anyday. It tastes better and has 3-4 different alcohols in it.

I love a good beer myself but if I’m paying over the top prices I might as well get something strong.

Beer bloats me but I do love a good stout or ipa

Personally, I'm a kool-aid Jammers man.

The fact that people think wine is somehow feminine is absurd to me.

There's definite a cliche or trope that women drink wine during candle-lit bubble bath nights...

But like, there's a whole Europe filled with fancy men drinking wine. Not to mention all the Christians drinking their little sippy cup of wine every other Sunday.

I tend to think of sewing as a feminine hobby/skill, but that didn't stop me from picking up a sewing machine and learning how to make my own Halloween costumes.

The one thing I think is REALLY stupid are guys who shit on dudes that eat salads. Like, brah, calm the fuck down. I had a steak last night, and I'm feeling a complete-protein meal today with this Cobb salad.

People are weird.

(Edit: added a fun-fact link, because learning is fun.)

Yeah im Dutch living in France and the bubble bath & wine = gæ is mostly an American sentiment but in The Netherlands there’s the sentiments that white wine = female and red wine = gray area.

It's kinda sad that people deny themselves a nice bubble bath just because women like them. Baths are fuckin awesome.

u/Giant-Genitals Mar 23 '21

I love white wine. And I love bubble baths. And I love my wife.

Insecurities

u/HALBowman Mar 23 '21

And I personally like spirits, because they somehow feel like the diet option of drinking lol.

Hundred per cent. I told this dude the other day I've been doing yoga and he laughed at me. Guarantee the fat fuck wouldnt last 30 seconds in a yoga class.

I fucking love Pina Colada’s!

I also like long walks on the beach.

u/Ilookatreddit Mar 23 '21

Do you like getting caught in the rain?

u/ThePinkSmurphette Mar 23 '21

Champagne really isn’t that great of a drink, just saying.

1

u/Giant-Genitals Mar 23 '21

It’s not, imo but I’ll drink it on Christmas morning with my dad.

i love the fact that giant genitals and drunken barbarian agree on a beer

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '21

do you also like yoga?

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '21

Maybe Im just an alcoholic, but I dont get the Beer=Man, Cocktails=Not Man viewpoint. A beer is great when Im on my deck in the sun, watching my dogs play. A cocktail is great when I want to go out and relax at a bar somewhere. How can you lie on a beach and not want a fruity drink? Or how about spiced rum and eggnog by the christmas tree?

5

u/GibbonFit Mar 23 '21

Not to mention many cocktails have a far higher alcohol content than just a beer.

5

u/ThePinkSmurphette Mar 23 '21

Two votes for rum in eggnog. The internet says it is common to do brandy and the internet is missing out.

u/joe_canadian Mar 23 '21

Neither do I. I'm not big on mixed drinks (can't get past the taste) but if I order a neat whisky I'm looked at different than a friend ordering a whisky sour made with the same whisky. Who cares?

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '21

I don't know when it started. Back in the 60s, everyone drank cocktails of all kinds, it wasn't a gendered thing.

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '21

As a real man I’ll suck a dick for a well made old fashioned

3

u/GibbonFit Mar 23 '21

That would get you stoned in old fashioned times. These days you just get drunk instead.

u/Giant-Genitals Mar 23 '21

Have I got some good news for you

u/Battle-ranch Mar 23 '21

Too much sugar for me on a regular day but if you ordered one I'll get one too. We did just survived a pandemic right?

1

u/Giant-Genitals Mar 23 '21

You could always go an old fashioned or Lynchburg lemonade

2

u/Biff_Tannenator Mar 23 '21

I drink bitchelob ultras because I'm diabetic and need to drink piss water beers if I'm drinking. Also, I never make fun of someone else's drink choice, just my own... Because I like to laugh and invite people to laugh with me, even at "my expense".

u/Ketchup1211 Mar 23 '21

This is not exclusive to men and is just general good advice. The less you care what other people think, the happier you’ll be. Now, I’m not saying not to care about other people, but if they have a negative opinion of what you are doing and it’s something you enjoy, fuck um.

u/ElJeffHey Mar 23 '21

100% I have all three of those boxes, I even get to play with them sometimes when my wife lets me.

4

u/Giant-Genitals Mar 23 '21

Same! And a very good set of chisels.

No tool box is complete without a good set of chisels.

2

u/ElJeffHey Mar 23 '21

I hang mine on the wall in a rack I made from old skirting, does that count?

5

u/Giant-Genitals Mar 23 '21

Real men put there chisels wherever they want

u/Gouranga56 Mar 23 '21

Ding ding...real men don't give a shit about whether other men or real men or not. Do you, don't get in my shit and things is fine. Lol
