Weird comment on a totally normal drink. Is it the lemon wedge? A lemon wedge screams gay to you? (I say this because we all know what "feminine" means."

Vodka on the rocks is far more masculine than vodka soda plus a lemon wedge. And also, Grey Goose means you’re not an unsophisticated miser who wants bargain brand Tito’s. Grey Goose on the rocks is a perfectly acceptable drink order for a masculine man.

Tita and Grey Goose are the same price.

Literally the most basic, frequently ordered cocktail in America. You’re a weirdo.

This is so spot on!

Sorry he's yucking your yum. /s

No, she is yucking his yum. Perhaps he is harshing her mellow, though.

Vodka soda is super common amongst women (counting their calories). It is a girlie drink choice and you know it.

And specifying Tito’s, a bargain/value vodka, at a nice place looks prole if nothing else. If you’re trying to make a good first impression on a date and prefer a vodka cocktail, at least make it Ketel One or Grey Goose. If you consume two drinks, that’s an insignificant sum of money.

Ugh, what is wrong with you? Not everyone is aroused by ostentatious spending and brand names. You are the worst and everything that is wrong with society today.

I don’t go around saying these things, of course.

I don’t know how widespread this belief is but many of my girlfriends are convinced gin & tonic is something only gay men drink. I am not kidding.

The UK would like a word.

Other people can judge, too. And my judgment is that in my experience, vodka is what alcoholics prefer. So that’s what I’d be thinking about your “masculine man.” That in 20 years he’ll have a nose like a raspberry and a shaky hand.

If my date ordered a cosmo or an appletini I might give a little side eye. Vodka tonic is not remotely the same thing.

Did you pay for his drink? Then why do you care? More to the point, why didn’t you pay for his drink? It’s 2024, drizzle drizzle…you need to start paying up for our company.

My judgement is that in 20 years you will be single, bitter, and obese owning 5 cats in your cat urine stench 1 bedroom apartment.

Bourbon is super gay. If he didn’t kill a wild animal with his bare hands and then down a glass of moonshine, he’s not a real man.

What kind of car repair do you think people do these days?

There is so much wrong with OP's post and your post.

What someone orders to drink affects your opinion of their "hotness"? 🙄

Calling someone/something "girly" perpetuates the subtle, but no less toxic, gender stereotypes. You follow that up with it's "for people who don’t like alcohol". Meaning real men like alcohol and this guy is effeminate and silly because he doesn't drink what you think men should drink. As if there's even anything wrong with not liking the taste of alcohol.

You ought to reflect on why you haven't moved away from such sexist, demeaning and unhealthy biases.

+1. Do we really need a societal gender label for sense of taste? People who drink nastier tasting liquors are more likely to have a drinking problem because they are desensitized to the foul taste.

Where on earth did you come up with this complete crock of garbage? You have an unsophisticated palette. That's no reason to go around making baseless assumptions. So weird.
