You're a looney, that's much too warm. 70 is perfect.

But yes, I've scolded my wife before when she forgot to turn it back down once it reached the temperature she wanted it to be.

😕 I feel like I'm roasting at 62 sometimes.

I'll wear shorts outside when it's in the 50s, but 70 is perfect for inside the house.

This isn't a woman thing... there are a lot of men who can't tell the difference between different red wines either. And I'm one of them. Difference is I never drink wine because I don't like it.

I'm 25 and I could probably beat you in identifying wines in a blind tasting. I can generally tell you the varietal, make a reasonable stab at approximate blend percentages, am most often dead on when identifying the type of oak and toast, and for US wines can tell you the region and frequently the appellation where the grapes were sourced.

Stop being such a snob.

LOl I know I'm not perfect, but I'm a decent guy. NO reason for my GF to call me at 1Am and when i don't answer yell at me the next day on the phone

"where the fuck were you last night I called and you didn't answer!"
"umm when did you call?"
"Does it matter when I called? I called around 1 and you didn't pick up"
"Well, I was aslee..."
"Bullshit, you never go to sleep that early"
"Well I did last night"
"I bet you were off fucking some other girl"

what KILLS me is she acts like I'm some super stud who could get any woman I want, she gives me way too much credit lol.

Regardless of it it's 3PM or 3AM if she calls I'm to answer. Doesn't matter if I answer 99/100 calls, because that one I miss is always the most mother fucking important call where she actually needed to talk to me.

If I answer it's whatever, but the times I do miss the call for some reason it's always some big fucking deal. The moral I've learned is simple, I can't win lol.
Nobody EVER needs to be calling me a 1am unless someone died. Ever.

And the GF that calls you at 1AM, if you don't answer. The next time you speak she'll go "well what if it was a life or death emergency, I would have died..." lol.

you are so fucked...

Drives me nuts to see people be snobs about wine. You drink what you want and let other people drink what they want. To assume that women under 30 are "copycats" because they're drinking red wine is absurd. Most women who don't like red wine would never order it; they'd rather drink white zinfandel or some fruity little white.

I think his observation is sound even if the conclusion and assumptions are absurd. For whatever reason, a large % of women I know drink cheap red wine almost constantly. They don't even go to the minimum lengths to make it taste reasonably good such as letting it breathe. They give me funny looks when I complain that their (or any) red wine tastes like crap to me and I prefer whites. It got to a point where I started to think I hated ALL red wines. Since I'm not a wine snob in the slightest I just assumed I preferred white wine. Then I got wine pairings at places like Chez Panisse and really liked the red wines. Further observation led me to understand what was happening:

Any time people get together someone must bring two-four bottles of red wine (basically 1-2 bottles per person). The same group gets together 3-4 times per week, so there is always a mad rush for cheap wine at the wine stores near the host's place. It's totally uncool to buy the $3 bottle of chuck at Trader Joe's, but perfectly acceptable to get and BRAG about the $4 bottle you bought. Once in a while they will make cocktails for people or similar - which is fine. I just don't understand why they don't think it would be better to drink nothing than cheap red wine which costs them money and causes them anxiety.

The male equivalent is any cheap beer that also tastes like ass. But it seems that men are more likely these days (at least men I know) to always prefer "microbrew" beer which at least has some level of quality.

Incidentally, today my GF has finally had it and will be buying a case of some cheap assed wine at Trader Joe's other than the "Two Buck Chuck" (which is no longer two bucks). I think she's about 4 steps away from getting to the reasonable conclusion of just ceasing to drink red wine every single social get together. I'm hoping that there's a way to get to that 4th step without impregnating her.

So they lack taste in red wine and find the cheap swill palatable; good for them. It doesn't sound like copycatting to me; people generally won't drink something they don't consider at least somewhat tasty. Let them drink junky wine and remain unjudged by the elitists; more good stuff for me. 😉

Of course it's better. A MAN started it.

Really the only thing that annoys me is how indirect women are with each other, many girls take criticism too personally. Guys call each other out all the time and as a result theres much less tension among a group of friends. When women go out, they always gossip about the one that isn't there.

I know, I know: mancard-- 🙁

More illogical things:

Spending thousands on impractical cars that are completely un-necessary.
Spending thousands on firearms, ammunition, and range fees.
Collecting any odd piece of wire cabling or electronics and refusing to get rid of any of it - even if it now fills three drawers.

Wait... Those are all things that guys like me do. Crap...

Not all women, but a lot (even most) of them like to keep grudges for the dumbest reasons. They'll stop talking to good friends because they're mad about something little. You have to do something really fucking bad to piss off a guy to that point. And in general, give it a couple weeks and we'd forget what happened.



It isn't just the holding a grudge that's bad...MOST of us do to a point...but they're like elephants...they N-E-V-E-R fucking forget stuff WE did...

In the middle of a disagreement...or even out of mid-air...they'll bring up some stupid thing we said or did...10 years ago...and they're STILL mad about it, or have just been waiting to use it against us.

Just when a guy thinks he has all the rules with women figured out...they change the dammed rules...again.

Yeah I don't get the copycat thing. I think it's a taste bud thing.

There may be more good stuff for you but there's LESS good stuff for me. If they'd buy no wine for 3 out of 4 get togethers, then buy a few good red wines the 4th time, and then let them breathe for an hour, I'd be able to enjoy it too. Instead I'm stuck with water or asking them to bring a cheap white wine which at least doesn't make me want to gag.
