Girly Men....

[Fred the Bunny]

On Fridays, I go to this local steakhouse and eat lunch.

It's kind of a treat I give to myself for working all week.
I sit at the bar and order a steak (medium), sweet potato, salad and diet coke.


The bar is full and most of the patrons are men.

So as I sit there eating and watching tv...there are these two guys next to me talking and being manly men. I guess they are having conversations about the cute, underaged hostesses that work there. They are being pigs and I could smell the testosterone. They have two round glasses in front of them and the glasses are about empty. I guess they ordered another round.

Their drinks arrive.

Bright yellow drinks with cherries and oranges and they are the prettiest drinks I have ever seen. The bar tender looks at me (I know her) and smiles like she knows what I'm going to say to these big, macho guys. I look at the guys and ask "what's that?"

One of the guys sarcastically says "orange juice". I said "seriously, what is that?"
Turns out it's called a "jamaican cowboy". Heh heh heh.....
Since the rest of the bar heard them talking, there were a lot of smirks after those drinks came out. I was giggling and I couldn't stop. The other folks at the bar were starting to giggle too and after those guys left one of the guys at the other end asks me "hey girl, what do you drink?" I said "Jack Daniels". Everyone sitting at that bar cracked up.

I do not drink stuff that looks like that. I'm a girl and I do not drink stuff that looks like that!

Go ahead, sit there and drink your girlie little drink and act all manly like you are such a stud and talk about how you'd like to "nail" that innocent, little 18 year old at the front door. You're pushing your mid 30's and your chest hairs out-number the hairs on your head. Dream that dream. I have to know, how can you feel like a MAN when you are drinking something like that?

I think the Men of the Square Table already made a man-law about this kind of behavior, except it applied only to beer. I don't think it would hurt to take it a step further, though.

Seriously, a Jamaican Cowboy?! What in the name of Heath Ledger kind of cowboy would that be, I wonder?

That being said, guys, it's okay to order a mixed drink, but if your drink looks like Charro's hat on Cinco de Mayo, maybe you should find a pretty woman and give it to her.

That's what I was going to say...

I stick to my beer and I do just fine...

Unless i'm out with someone and NOT the designated driver... then I may move onto Long Island Ice Tea or after I'm already wasted, you can convince me to do shots.

A long island iced tea is dangerously frou frou until one takes into account the fact that it's almost pure booze. And that lemon wedge? Yeah, not necessary.

If I get a rum and coke, I'll ask for a lime wedge. And if I order a Mexican beer like Corona, yep, gimme a lime wedge with that, too. I just don't want a drink that looks like the Fruit of the Loom guys farted on it.

[Fred the Bunny]

I drink whiskey.

I drink scotch.

I drink rum.

I drink beer.

Mostly, I do shots....tonight I think I will be drinking slowly and putting my shots of whiskey into my diet cokes.

Hey Whodey, Email me and lemme know what in Sam Hill is going on!

[CinnaMunMun]

Wooo! Jack and coke

I also like ammaretto.....

What doesn't look frou frou when you hold it?


It's the 'almost pure booze' that makes me like the long island. I only drink it when I want to go over the edge, and quick. I can't do it with beer (except when I shotgun them out on the porch. ) Or, if I've had too much to eat to effectively buzzed.

Might also be helpful when I travel to odd places with large amounts of Oxygen in their air.

Logans Steakhouse. I loove their sweet potatoes!

Can't say I drink much...but I am a girl insomuch I like those fru-fru drinks!

It's the "girly" talk that stumps me. I cant talk hair-do's, or nails, or the latest fashions, or Hollywood crap.

I talk football, atving and camping.

Maybe the fru-fru's make me "girly"

[Buff_bronc_fan]

Hey now, don't judge a man by his drink...

I am comfortable enough in my sexuality to drink a vodka-cranberry once in a while... Or if I'm in a tropical place, bring on the fruity drinks!

If I'm just going to have a drink, it's always a vodka-tonic (not exactly a traditionally manly drink.)

It's not my fault that I don't like the taste of beer (for the most part). Preference is preference, and while I can see making fun of these guys who were oozing machismo, leave us "not metro-sexual, but also not a lumberjack" guys alone.

[Buff_bronc_fan]

Oh, and on another note, are Fred the Bunny and Jewels the same person?

[Dream]

Wow, who really cares? I guess women who like beer are "Manly Women" then too?

[LordTrychon]

Nope... they just know each other.

That's a pretty good point there, Dream.

I don't consider myself manly a bit, but I love beer!
I like Canadian whiskeys, vodka, to-kill-ya, rums, and all kinds of things.
I like olives, dill pickles, oranges, limes, and lemons in my drinks too!

One of the best drinks I've ever had is an Italian margarita, made
with orange liquor and topped with orange slices. Yummy.

But my steady (and I don't drink but maybe 1-2 drinks a week) is
a nice cold beer. I like things I can count. Pitchers are very dangerous,
but if I'm not driving....keep topping my beer!

That jamaican cowboy probably has rum in it. Could be worse I suppose,
like a shirley temple. I also worry about men who order soda water with lime.
Funny how we get these ideas in our heads about drinks, but it's true!

I think that there's a double standard on many things.

Drinking beer does not make a woman 'manly', it makes her cool.

Carrying a wallet does not make a woman 'manly' but carrying a purse sure can make a man seem a bit girly.

Women can wear jeans, shorts, dress pants, etc.... and not be manly... but I won't don a skirt or a dress (I'm not getting into the kilt argument here. )

The point of the thread wasn't so much to say that Men should NEVER drink these drinks... but how ridiculous they looked when talking about being manly and sipping their somewhat girly drinks.
