alphamale Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 most chicks are going to think you're a little uptight if you don't have at least a couple beers
LexiB Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Yeah, this is a huge turn-off for me. I love being able to have a drink or two with the guy I'm dating (cozy night in with a bottle of wine? Yes please! ). There's also just something very...depressing & isolating...about drinking solo when hanging out with someone else. It makes me not want to drink at all which in and of itself can be a bit of a buzz kill for the night. That being said, I have had great relationships with men who "don't drink" but in every instance, would've definitley preferred that they had.
Eeyore79 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 I like to go out for a few drinks occasionally, or open a bottle of wine at home, maybe buy a bottle of champagne for a special occasion, and I'd be a little put off if my man wouldn't share that with me. I'm by no means a heavy or regular drinker, but I'd like to be able to have a drink and party with my man sometimes. I don't want to drink by myself, so it would kind of spoil my enjoyment if he didn't at least have the odd drink every now and then. Having said that, there are a great deal of women who'd be more than happy with a non-drinker. So I don't think you should change yourself just to attract women; just look for a woman who likes you as you are.
Star Gazer Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 I do'nt drink nothing. If a guy spoke like this, it'd be a greater turnoff than the fact he doesn't drink.
rafallus Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 If a guy spoke like this, it'd be a greater turnoff than the fact he doesn't drink. Being dead (due to not drinking anything = dehydration) in fact is probably an ultimate turn off, except for few select perverts.
nandesuka Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I don't drink. Not even if it's offered to me. I've tried a couple, but just not interested. Seriously, I'd rather eat food than drink the empty calories of alcohol. Plus, I get to be the DD for my friends with fancier cars than me. I say that to people too. For some girls, this is a turn off, for some, it's not. I'm turned off by girls who think this is a turn off. But I'm turned off by girls who get drunk and who think it's fun to get hammered and puke their guts out later on. It's one thing I use to rule out the immature girls.
BetheButterfly Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I do'nt drink nothing. no beer, no wine. I just drink water, milk, juice,etc. Is this a turn off? I know many people drink but I would not change that. I have no interest for drinking. Even for socialization, i would not drink. I dn't want to. Some people in some cultures, they have to/they feel obligated to drink for socialization, they even drink because ..and the excuse is "I can open up more.. and talk" . It seems Many women drink and I keep hearing in this forum, and in MTV stuff, and just generally , about how people have Hangovers, and all that. Including women. so yeah, people around my age and lower, seems like many women drink nowadays. I don't and I wn't. Is that a turnoff? I will not drink even if they offer me. Even if i was with a group(which i'm never in because i'm a loner but this is just an example) , and everyone had their beer. I would decline if they offered me. It would depend on the girl. If a girl is into the party culture where she goes to clubs every weekend and drinks, then obviously she will want a partner who does that too. If she has interests that exclude drinking, then it would be no problem that you don't drink. My personal take on drinking is that it seems easy for many people to become alcoholic and beat up people, cause car accidents and get in trouble with the law. This can and does happen to many people who become enslaved to alcohol. Also, many homeless people evolved into that state through their growing dependence on alcohol and/or drugs. It's interesting how many times, alcohol, drugs, and some sort of aggressive crime goes together. Many girls would agree that no drinking is better than drinking excessively.
Taramere Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Why would the fact that a man doesn't drink be a turn off? "She thought she'd met the man of her dreams, until suddenly he ordered a Diet Coke." That just seems nonsensical to me. There are all kinds of reasons for a person not drinking. Maybe they're driving, maybe even a small amount of booze brings on a horrible headache, maybe they've been in a relationship with somebody who had a drink problem and it's left them feeling strongly against alcohol. Or maybe they've felt they were developing a drink problem, and have taken responsibility for addressing it, in which case top marks to them. It certainly places them higher in my estimation than the many people out there who regularly use alcohol as an excuse for all kinds of appalling behaviour they've indulged themselves in. I can agree with people who say it's nice to share a bottle of wine or champagne with a partner, but it's not exactly a huge hardship if the other person says "no thanks, I don't want any." If I felt like a glass of wine or champagne I'd go ahead and have it anyway. Aggressive, abusive drunks puking and fighting in the street. Now that's a turn off.
alphamale Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Why would the fact that a man doesn't drink be a turn off? because real men drink, some a little, some a lot
Taramere Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 because real men drink, some a little, some a lot Real men decide for themselves, I think. Personally I prefer the real men who make the decision to drink in moderation or not at all....but each to their own.
Bullet Proof Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 It's not at turnoff to me if the guy doesn't drink. I drink 'socially', but that is it, and even then out to dinner and such I'll just get a soda or water. Why would I care what my guy is drinking? As long as he is happy =)
rafallus Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Real men decide for themselves, I think. Personally I prefer the real men who make the decision to drink in moderation or not at all....but each to their own. Oh yeah, drinking due to peer pressure doesn't sound very manly at all.
alphamale Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Oh yeah, drinking due to peer pressure doesn't sound very manly at all. women give into peer pressure a lot easier than men
