Gah, I hate feminists. (I’m female, btw) since I probably owe males about a thousand dollars on martinis alone and it helps to get through college if you don’t have to buy your own drinks (haha).

Interesting views.I gather people like freebies.I operate on a very simple rule,no drinks till I establish some degree of rapport.It may be a simple conversation(well,somewhat of a simplification as I’m attracted to intellectual women).I know better than to merely trust my eyes.The ambience,lighting etc in clubs,bars,lounges can be utterly deceiving.

I got bought enough free drinks to satisfy Lindsay Lohan.Why?The male patrons saw me hanging out with hot mami.I guess they figured get in with the male friend and get her.Suckers!!

i’ll admit i’ve accepted free drinks from strangers in smokey bars. i accepted graciously and then quickly made my get away into the ladies room.

basically, if the guy had the balls to face me beforehand, i would have given him the time of day.

i’ve never really been attracted to assumptive dudes.

Good christ, no.

The only person whom I’d allow to buy me a drink is someone who didn’t have to.

No. No. No.

No.

Neil? Seriously–no.

dirty martini = extra olives and a good dose of olive juice added to the traditional martini

i always accept drinks, no matter whether someone appears like a “loser” or not, whatever that means. generally, it’s a nice gesture and i’m thankful for it. i usually try and return the favor, however. also, if a guy thinks buying me a drink is some kind of an entree into my entire night, he’s certainly wrong. i’ve encountered that a time or two.

i think any guy who sends a drinnk over to a woman should always do it with the idea that he’s not going to see that money again and is essentially tossing it out the window. if he gets anything back by way of attention from the woman, if it bears fruit in any way, then he’s a lucky guy, but more times than not, it doesn’t work that way.

drinks are good and ladies like them, but conversation is where it’s at.

I’ll accept “loving our spouses” and “blogging all night” as euphemisms for something else.

And what is a “dirty martini?”

If you sent over a dirty martini and the sweet sounds of “Dancing Queen” filled the air, I’d sashay over to your table and we would talk about how much we love our spouses and blogging all night.

Right. You’d love it.
