Or, OK, rather... I know that SOME people enjoy them, but I also know that a lot of men (especially young men) will order a pint "because that's what men order" despite not actually liking beer. I was one of them from 18 (well... 16 ) up until about 22 when I stopped being arsed about "ordering what other blokes order" and started ordering what I actually wanted. I also knew LOADS of guys who started to admit mid-20's that they don't actually like beer and would rather drink wine, or spirits with mixer.

And I guess that's kind of the point, isn't it.

Poor souls forcing down that bloody bathwater swill instead of a delicious alcopop "cos that's wot burly blokes do, arrrr".


My other prime example is Football. ALL boys pretend to like it up until about age 12. After that, slowly some people start to admit they never were fussed for it. Do some still love it? Obviously, yes, but it starts to become apparent that a lot of kids will pretend a lot of things "to fit in with their gender peers".

I don't get why anybody would dislike/hate Football, or any Sport for that matter, but then I'm a competition buff so could watch almost anything competition related.
