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.

Ahhh, yeah. And then if you bring a good bottle they can down it without appreciating it, making it not worth the $$ in the first place. 🙁

It's still a net gain for me. 4 wines I won't drink vs 1 I will for the same cost. They don't like violent video games either. I try not to hold it against them too much.

I'd throw the lot of them in the car for a day of wine tasting and make them take tasting notes to start getting an idea of what the good stuff can taste like. 🙂

Directed to me or to fallenangel? I'm the one arguing let people drink what they enjoy without judging them (and I'm female 😉 and can definitively state that oenophiles are sexy but wine snobs are not).
 
Ranting about how "MEN" are responsible for ALL of The World's ecological problems, while snacking on a single serving whatever.... of which there are plenty in the refrigerator. :disgust:
 
Alimony. These womens' lib types want equality in everything - but I never see them protesting against alimony. For those not familiar with it, it is of course payments made to the woman in a divorce so that she may continue to live the lifestyle she had with her husband. This is a law that stems from times when women weren't allowed to work for cultural reasons, and were inferior at it anyway since they are smaller (fact, not opinion) and most labor was physical. Yet unlike other laws from that time, this stupidity is still in full effect.

Lots of bitter, angry women with no sense of humor

From you thread
I like to pamper my husband. He goes to work all day long and I stay at home. I do a few hours of housework then sit around watching tv or calling my friends. I really don't do much, so when comes home I like to make him feel appreciated. A woman's job is to support her man since he does all of the hard work. I know its not fair to say that, but its the harsh truth. Women are frail and men are strong. That is just how the world is.

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.

That's a major fault of men...

I kept hanging out with a girl who I absolutely hated and despised deep down. On the surface though, I kept "forgiving" her every so often. Luckily, I finally let my big brain do the thinking, called her out on her bullshit, and really dished it out on her in an e-mail; just hope she read it.

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.

I've had some many girlfriends at the time do this. It's absolutely frustrating because they act like its in the past but secretly when the time is right, bring it up, even when it has no context the the argument or fight.

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.

Wow... I do that sometimes; the bringing up of really old stuff to crap all over an arguement. Guess I got a really good inner-femme.
 
I say everyone needs to take a step back, grab a glass of wine or a cold beer (or Scotch or Irish whiskey, etc.), and relax. It's Friday during the holidays, why get your panties in a twist over the same old stereotypes? People find it difficult to communicate regardless of gender and situation. Laugh it off and enjoy each other.

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.

I'm not gay; but after reading your post, I totally want to schlob your knob. :kiss;

I only wish I was a fraction of the man you are.

EDIT: allrighty, just discovered that there's a gender compatability issue with that jab. I'll leave my post up though to allow for deserved ridicule if need be. 😉
