My dream girl

[Artie2002]

I've been up since 4 am, which means I probably need to go to sleep now.

Good night!

[Steve]

this is like one of the oldest posts on this board. instead of bitching on the board..go out to the bar and find yourself a drunkard girl. THERE ARE PLENTY. the fact of the matter is that you DON'T want a drunkard girl...you want one that you can bring home to mom and dad sans bourbon on her breath.
i've lived it for over 15 years. and untill i see a ring on my finger...i don't believe you guys anymore.

My girlfriend can match me drink for drink and has done so on several occaisions. However, she doesn't drink heavily as often as me, and that's the big difference. She can'r drink much the day after a booze-up, due to hangover and tiredness. How would I feel if she drank like me? That's a tricky one; I know full well I'm a pain in the arse when I'm stumbling all over the place, knocking things over, but surely that's only a pain for the people who aren't quite as drunk? If we were both as drunk all the time, the annoying parts would be forgotten.
It might be fun, but I could see it maybe descending into too much chaos perhaps.
Anyway Liz, regarding that ring, don't worry, your drunken knight in slightly soiled armour will stagger along one day (after having sold his horse for drinks).

are you two the same person?

Well played, Liz.

You'd think after a few weeks a guy could take a hint...

Sigh, once again, Steve, we are all citizens of the World and can fully understand that you are "different", so you don't need to refer to Big Joe as your "girlfriend", and no wonder "she" can drink you under the table, I mean, the guy is built like a tank.

Boozie, nobody picks on Steve. He's destroying his own self all on his own self. We're all also very happy he has someone looking out for him.

As for finding the right kind of girl, all I can offer is that I want a girl like the one who married dear old Dad. My Mom, RIP, put back six or seven Harvey Wallbangers every night. She even taught me and all my sisters how to make her and my Dad's drinks by the time we were 5 years old and tall enough to reach over the home bar.

[Artie2002]

The only drunks I can't get along with are the ones I find myself baby sitting. You know the kind. You can't leave them alone for fear they'll either hurt or kill themselves, or somebody else, by accident. I've had a few male friends that fall into that category and dated a female once that was like that. Even if we were only going 1/4 mile down the road, I'd have to pick her up and carry her inside because she'd pass out. I hate that. If you can't hold it, then don't drink.

Sorry again for confusing the issue last night. I was so shot I couldn't comprehend what I was reading. It's obvious now Liz was not talking to me, although I would like her to explain to me how I was "outed" as the ultimate asshole. Other than last night, I don't recall cross swords with anyone here. Not seriously anyway.

liz, I think you have a good point here (I'm going to not comment on the rest of this thread). I wonder if most guys really do want a woman who drinks like them. Especially a smart, independent one.
Personally, I never looked at it in terms of whether a potential mate could drink like me, or not. I never worried about how a woman sees me in terms of my alcohol intake (though it was an issue in one of my serious relationships). I've never gotten hitched myself, I'm pretty independent and I don't need a relationship to feel "complete".
But I still keep open to possibilities.
My ideal woman would be one who has been around the block a couple of times and who has come out wise and mellow.
I don't like sloppy drunks (male or female), although I can't say I haven't been one at times.
I think it's a good sign liz, that you haven't married yet (though it's hard to believe you haven't been asked). People rush into marriage all the time for the wrong reasons.
Surely someone worthy will come along if that's what you truly want.
From what I've seen, you're a really intelligent and obviously beautiful person. (i think I've said that before)
In other words, a Dream Girl... Good Luck and Cheers!!

One thing i've noticed over the years is that if you are going to be a drunkard, then you must find a proper female companion and so far i've come up with goose eggs. Reason being is that I haven't found a woman who drinks in the same manner as myself. You know the drill guys; you start dating a nice girl and almost right away, you find that she doesn't love the creature in the same manner as you. Things go well for a while, but she desplays annoyances like.....
stopping after the third drink
getting impatient because she came 10 minutes ago
whining about "wanting to see you undrunk more often
and
bitching that you spend more money on booze than her

So fellows, here is the question...
can you relate with this, or have you found a good woman that exepts your undying love for booze, because I haven't found one.
this is by no means an insult to women because there are plenty of good women on this forum.

I'm RIGHT HERE for cryin' out loud!! I possess none of those annoyances! Stop after the third drink?? Not even with a loaded gun to my head (those of you I told about the gun toting maniac at work a coupla weeks ago I believe will back me up on this). Getting impatient because she came 10 minutes ago? So what in hell is wrong with pleasing a man? Isn't that pleasurable for oneself as well? EsPECIALLY after he was nice enough to take care of you?

Jeekas, I even love sports (Giants, Yankees) and STILL no takers! Where in hell are all you guys who want us lady hooch hounds??

See guys, they do exist. Can you handle it?
I love you, too, NYD, although I think you and I would argue politics constantly (plus, I'm probably a bit old for you, or liz - maybe...). I would have loved to have met your dad, it sounds like like he was a swell guy (I forgot to answer your post awhile back).
Cheers to all you wonderful drinking lasses. They are out there, fellas. Quit your bitchin' (and grow up a little)

[ivan]

I found me one. She likes wine and loves tequila. She has never once criticized me for getting drunk (although if I do dumb stuff while drunk, it's a different story). And she's currently having a lightsaber fight with our son.

[ivan's sage advice] If you want to find a drunkard girl, you just have to look. Pay attention. She's probably not going to be the good-time party girl at the meat-market college bar. She's probably not going to be the "sipping on a Cosmo after watching Sex and the City" type.

Pay attention to your surroundings. If she's buying tonic and limes at the grocery, she's probably a drunkard.

Oh, and don't be condescending. The ladies don't dig that. [/ivan's sage advice]

Well thanks for the attaboy! Very much appreciated! And nope - bet I'm older than you - I'm >gulp< 43. Ugh. Egads.

And yes, we would most definitely argue politics (just put the republican smackdown on a coupla the fellas in another thread - I couldn't help myself). And I would win, and win you over. I would wrap you tightly in facts until you saw the right - er - light. And you would be grateful.

And yes, Pop was a gem. A brave soldier and fireman with a big heart, a rapier wit and a love of the hooch. I miss him.

Life begins at forty, baby!
And I hope it doesn't end at 50, which I'll be turning on November 3. And who knows, maybe I'm a swing voter, if you know what I mean

If we didn't live so far part I'd give you a shot.

Hell, I'd even let you drive.

And so Boozy returns and the dance of insults continues. I've half a mind to send her over there to kick your arse. But you'd probably surrender before she got there, keeping to tradition.
