haha!  you obviously haven't worn your pink dress in San Francisco!! :)

That's not what I mean though.. I mean that women saying that it is not "lady 
like" to drink from the bottle... hence, women sterotyping other women at a 
bar when they see them drinking out of the bottle, and assuming "oh, she must 
be trailer trash..." or "oh.. she is really low class" ... aka losing respect 
for someone based off the way they prefer to drink their beer.  idk, maybe I'm 
over reacting because I have been around so many dumb women who stress of 
irrelevant things like this...

although i must say i've never fancied a man holding a martini glass.  
Frankly.. imo.. it's always looked a little.. well.. Gay!! :(  Not that there 
is anything wrong with being gay, but it's not my cup of tea.

Look, I understand that "general consensus" usually agrees upon something 
tasting better than the other...  but over the years I've learned that taste 
is not a common bond people share between each other...it really isnt. 
especially with people from different countries/cultures...  You'll be alot 
better off if you learn to get over shoving things into someones face.. it 
just isn't the same to them as it is to you.  

My little brother likes to put ketchup in his chocolate milk... do I like 
that..?  NO... do i recommend other people drink it because he insist it is 
good??? NO...  Do i give a fuck what he puts in his drinks as long as he 
enjoys them?? NO.. I just let it be and move on.  

Remember, you can only lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink it.

And finally... taste is, and always will be, AN OPINION!!!
