Lame

My wife has had the same thing happen to her too many times to count. Fortunately, we homebrew together, and she spreads that knowledge around the house. Lucky me.

Nothing quite like an Extra Special Bitter woman.

Hey, Anonymous, I'm with you. I guess your POV just hit a little close to home with some of the other commenters.

right on!

Reminds me of a couple days ago when I was at a bar, and my friend was trying to get advice from me about talking to the girl over there. He didn't know what to say to her. And so I advised: ask her to play a game of pool with you, and then if she agrees you should completely wipe the floor with her. Show her how super awesomely you can kick her ass at pool, and she'll have no choice but to be all "Swoon!"

It's sad, though, that people actually think this could be a good idea. I'm guessing that since in this age "survival of the fittest" is basically irrelevant (thank you ADA), the modern analog of showing off your "skills" is to hit the gym so that you appear strong and then spout off about how great you are.

Jah. And that goes for assuming women know nothing about cycling, astrophysics, cinema....

OMG. Dork fight!

Fucking A

What the hell is this? this may be the dullest complaint ever posted. Obviously the guy was trying to chat the gal up, not actually impress her with his beer knowledge. A smart chick would have gotten that right away, and not gotten all Vassar on his ass. What the hell ever happened to people knowing how to flirt. Beer talk is like movie talk is like book talk. It's an attempt to appear you don't want to suck face when you do.

agreed. the other comments hitting too close to home for some.
