| What do women think of guys who dont drink??
Posted: 11/21/2006 1:24:18 PM | | I haven't drank in 20 years and don't go to bars. The reaction I get from women is generally pretty good, especially on the first date. I think every women has had at least one bad experience with an out of control drunk. Knowing that won't happen seems to take a bit of the anxiety out of the first meeting. | |

Posted: 11/21/2006 4:46:39 PM | I have never been much of a drinker. And when out with a man, I always felt much more secure when he had both feet steady on the ground. To me, a drink here or there is fine the person enjoys it and they like it to relax, but anything more than that can be a real turn off.
Of course that's just my opinion.
I'm like half way in between smoking and stopping smoking. but i do know that smoking for some might be a turn off.
I think that if when we meet someone and vice versa, if one of the other party does something that really turns us off, then just don't get involved. because people like to get involved and say they accept you for all you are and do, but then a while later, they try to change your habits that were there from day one of your meeting.
Drinking like smoking or any other habit is a personal choice and a person can really only quit when they are ready. | |

Posted: 11/21/2006 6:35:15 PM | Nothing wrong with not drinking.
I've dated two men in the last year that didn't drink. I don't drink often (1-2x/month) so alcohol is not a necessity while I'm on a date. Neither of them minded if I had a couple of drinks anyways.
BUT, I find that 'some' men that are non-drinkers have major issues or baggage that they carry around in regards to previous drinking. I've discovered dating a recovering alcoholic is not difficult because of the lack of booze, but because of the emotional issues surrounding previous addictions. So, it's not that I wouldn't date a man that didn't drink, but I would most definately find out the reasons behind it before I made that decision. | |

I hardly ever drink, myself, but I still go out and have some fun....LIFE IS JUST TOO SHORT TO SIT AROUND AND DO NOTHING ON A WEEKEND.... | |

Posted: 11/28/2006 12:22:35 PM | I don't drink. Never have, and might never (although I'm fascinated by the different aspects of wine, so I might go there some time).
Not drinking doesn't make me feel better than everyone/anyone else... I've got other reasons for already feeling that way ;)
I haven't had any women freak out that I'm a teetotaller. I've had a couple that weren't comfortable drinking around me, which was unfortunate since I didn't want my choice to adversely impact their enjoyment of the evening.
Why don't I drink? Inertia (I never have) is one factor, and control is another... I do enough things that I feel foolish about without having to regret drunken idiocies, too. I suppose health is another reason, but I down enough Sprite in the place of alcohol that I probably am not much better off in terms of calories.
To turn the question around: I have no problem dating women that drink or do not drink. I actually find it a bit odd when a woman does not, because I've become accustomed to being the freakboy who always has a soft drink... | |

Posted: 11/28/2006 12:41:02 PM | In todays modern society where more often than not alcohol is used as an escape - be it in either large or small ammounts
it takes more of a man not to drink then to be abe to drink copious ammounts | |

Posted: 11/29/2006 1:59:46 PM | I dont drink. A lot of people try to get me to drink, even thou they know im driving.
Why cant people accept that I dont like to drink as a recreation activity.
The only thing I would like is if I can accept that some people need to drink to hang out,
is for them to accept that I don't. And besides, I hate beer. At least north american beer tastes like tonic water | |

Posted: 11/29/2006 2:19:43 PM | | Guys who dont drink are better than guys who drink too much. But it depends on if he acts holier than thou or not. I dated a fitness/health freak 5000, I was drinking crowne royal and he was drinking milk, he had to go. | |

Posted: 11/29/2006 3:30:35 PM | Hmmmmm, being now part of an online community that when we socialise together, noone drinks.
I've enjoyed nights out where i have drunk lots and had fun and a laugh but there are some nights are are unchalenged for fun and i have not touched a drop of alcohol, mearly drinking orange juice all night.
I have had convosations about it, in bars, and my opinon of it is, women feel that there being judged for drinking, and feel inferior (not a pleasent feeling), but the women that do dislike it are generally women that have insecurities about it, the ones that don't care, don't use drinking as a form of escapism, i love my life and living in the moment, not trying to recall it the next day after a hangover, so enjoy nights out without drinking and the social circle that i have that have strong positive outlook, and realise drinking isn't needed, though it can be enjoyed responsibly.

Posted: 11/29/2006 4:23:57 PM | Probably been said someplace in this thread already, but fark it, I ain't reading this whole thread to find out.
Gramps always said: "Never trust a Man who won't Cuss, or take a Drink". Now I figure Gramps was a pretty smart man to live as long as he did, and not get into trouble with the law, or end up being jammed in one of those managed care facilities, so there must be something to it huh? Nuff said.
 
Have fun ;)! | |

Posted: 11/29/2006 4:41:44 PM | Many times....these same drunk funny .cocky.confident men....are ***holes when sober.
I got news for you sweety, you're one of those when you are drinking as well. y'all just don't notice it.
hottiescotty, I did not mean YOU personally, just simply a comment that many of the guys who THINK they are funny,c*cky, confident whilst under the influence really AREN'T. This from a very light social drinker, nonsmoker who likes to go to some local places(bars) to listen to live music/jammin' sessions.
OP
There have been some sensible comments made about the difference between a nondrinking alcoholic and one who is TRULY recovering. However, you are where you are in your process, if that scares some women away, they would not have been right for you anyway(yeah I know that's hard to see when it's happening...)
Either this girl has alcohol issues herself, or she just wasn't that into you and your nondrinking was a good excuse.
At any rate, I applaud you for doing what you have to do to stay in control of your life, do not let some silly lightweight of a woman screw that up!

Posted: 11/29/2006 5:05:39 PM | | mmm, I stopped drinking 10 years ago and have had to accept that it makes most people's idea of a social life impossible - ie, going to loud and smokey pubs and bars where no one can hear each other. So what am I missing? | |
