Last night I shared something with my husband which, as I was saying it, I realized that few men actually know. It’s another one of those woman-secrets which, being the mens’ rights advocate that I am, I delight in sharing with “the enemy”.
Here it is:
Women look at men who like to go out drinking as one of three things, and if you’re a guy who regularly goes out with the guys, you will be categorized in one of these three ways by most women who know you. You are either:
1. A drinking buddy
2. Rehabitable
3. Reprehensible
Of the three, being seen by a woman as a drinking buddy is by far the rarest of the three categories into which you will find yourself pigeon-holed.
If the woman wants to have (or already has) a romantic relationship with you, then you are “rehabitable.”
If, however, you fall into just about any other relationship category – including being romantically involved with one of her friends or relatives, or being a drinking buddy of someone else with whom she is romantically involved, then you will almost certainly find yourself slotted into the “reprehensible” category.
Now, how many of you knew that?

I dunno, Linda..I don’t think that makes you disagreeing, I think that makes you one of the minority of women who sees your man as a drinking buddy. :-b
[I should have qualified that I was *not* talking about spouses. ;-)]
I’d have to disagree with you, but perhaps I’m in the minority. As a woman who likes to go out drinking myself, I understand the attraction. Give me a couple of good friends and a bottle of wine, and the laughter (and sometimes tears) are sure to flow. For my dh, beer is a great life passion (ie., he dreams of going to Belgium and touring the monasteries that make the Belgian ales that he so dearly loves), so going out to have a drink with a good friend who shares that passion is very nurturing for him. I wholly support it! 🙂
That is… logical. /me hits the bottle.
Yeah, those of us who don’t drink I suppose aren’t seen by women. (big grin)
What about men who don’t drink? How do women see them?
