She’s the only one who looks fun enough to date…
wow. maybe because the others arent looking to date. because they are engaged/married

I’d actually agree there.
I mean, by nature of the photo, she’s being set up to look cool. The others are all doing one thing, which is essentially bragging (in a sense. It’s a tradition based on judging/measuring wealth of the one who gave them the ring), while she is self-aware enough to look like she’s poking fun at herself, while also proving she’s above the tradition on display.
This is a one-photo story where she’s set up to be the hero. Not to mention the color differences, the others have their hair down/done while she has her hair pulled back. It’s almost too-set up to make her look awesome.
Also hotter than all her friends. Marriage is a mug’s game anyway.
Nah. There are at least two in that line up that are cute. In fact some people thinking drinking like a lush is a huge turn off.
You’ve been too sober for too long and it has affected your judgement. Which one will it be, sport? Moonface, Grandma or the skeletal ghost of benedict cumbersnatch?
Yeah their elbows are pointy and their hair is too frizzy 0/10
Who says I am sober? Just because I don’t see women that are wasted as attractive?
Evidence of one beer, wasted? Whatever GladiusB.
In Germany we say “lieber Frau und Kind erschießen, als ein Tropfen Bier vergießen”. (better to kill wife and children, than to waste a drop of beer).
No we don’t say that.
Logical. You are too smart for me …
Hehe i drink beer im so fun hoho
More that they’re willing to pose like this for the picture
Seems like they’re all willing to pose like that for a picture. Do you think girl in purple came up with the idea and executed it all on her own? Looks to me like she had at least three (maybe four, depending on who’s taking the picture) equally fun friends who also thought this would be hilarious.
They’re all willing to pose but only one of them is being self-deprecating in the picture, the others are getting to show off - which is fine, nothing wrong with that - but the only outlier here is the girl with the beer so we don’t really learn anything about anyone but her.
Speculating on motives is pointless, I could say it was the idea of the most recently married one of the three who’s being a removed to the girl in purple, and purple felt pressured into doing it because she always gets harassed for being “no fun” or something.
You are making a lot of negative assumptions about girls you do not know. To me, this looks like a funny spin on the “omg look I’m engaged photo” (which there’s nothing wrong with, by the way, even though you claim it’s for attention. What’s wrong with that? Sometimes things happen to people and you want to share. So what), where four friends happen to be engaged at once except one, so they’re taking a silly photo they all agree to be in.
Your thinking smacks of misogyny in that you’re assuming that all of these girls are being horrible to each other because of some stupid assumption society has about that being “just how groups of women are”. It’s not true, and it’s stupid.
I made no negative assertions, just pointing out that speculation is useless because you could make up any situation that results in this photo, and that the only thing we can realistically conclude is that the girl in purple is ok with this photo existing, and her friends are married.
Where my beer nerds at.
Can we ID that label?
Looks ballast point-y. Given general sales and color… Is that a sculpin? Perhaps grapefruit?
That’s my vote
Edit: yeah it’s gotta be sculpin. Diagonal fat orange-ish fish. I see enough pink to presume grapefruit and not regular or habanero…
I’m counting like 12 pixels in the original pic but hot damn I think you got it. Well done.
Real beer nerds wouldn’t admit to knowing what a Ballast Point looks like since they got bought out by AB like 10 years ago.
Real beer nerds would know they got bought by Constellation (Corona, Pacifico) not AB InBev.
Real beer nerds would also know that Constellation sold them to a group of Brewers (Kings Convicts) in Chicago 5 years ago.
Grapefruit scuplin came before the buyout. So there’d be no shame in recognizing this era of their branding even if you were right.
Don’t try to out beer-nerd me, Holmes! Homie don’t play 🤓
Damn well done dude I think you’re right

These comments are terrible.
For real. Disappointing to see all the weird misogyny & judgements on these random woman.
Even the ones being positive towards one of the women only do so by putting down the other woman.
And also by judging whether or not any of them are cute/dateable. Awful stuff.
Sometimes Lemmy feels like a subscription to r/incels…
And star trek, Linux, fuck microsoft, privacy, piracy, commies.
hey, I like most those things…
Purple? Did you misspell lavender?
Lavender is darker. That’s lilac
blue.
Relationship goals
being… single?
Being Awesome
That’s not a goal but the reality.
Sure, why not?
Or worse… Divorced cat lady.
You may break up whenever you want actually and achieve your goal
she cute
Jfc why does Lemmy hate beer so much? I guess it’s because many Lemmings are socially isolated, giving them fewer positive associations from using alcohol in a social context within their own lives. But maybe the international users are also a factor; people of European extraction are significant outliers compared to the rest of the world when it comes to beer consumption.
Edit for clarity: Europeans and North Americans drink a lot of beer compared to other regions of the world, so maybe it’s more common to be like “ew beer” in other countries. In my personal experience, even people who don’t drink aren’t usually bothered by casual consumption, but maybe that’s because I come from a country with a relatively high rate of alcoholism.
Lemmy doesn’t hate beer, it hates women. You think they’d be going on about a guy drinking a beer in a picture?
Thank you, just came here to say that.
I’m Canadian, I like beer… we all like beer here. Like what else are you going to drink, water? Gross.
Water? Fish crap in it you know.
I’ve used that one as “Water? Never touch the stuff. Fish fuck in it, doncha know?”
Like from the toilet? Eweh.
What do you mean? 3 liters of beer a day keeps sorrow away
? I live in Europe and beer consumption is insane here. Though I hate the taste of beer.

I didn’t know it was a general opinion on here lol, I don’t like beer either , it just tastes like liquid bread and even though I love bread the liquid version feels wrong, I like something fruity like a mojito or a cocktail! Generally though I don’t drink alcohol.
Beer doesn’t only taste like liquid bread, it is liquid bread.
True haha, also I completely cows are clearly underrated.
No…it isn’t. Chemically it is nothing like bread.
🤓
Because I don’t like the taste?
That’s fine but there are several commenters who immediately attacked the girl who is drinking a beer. Maybe it’s more of a thing about women, actually. I just felt like the hostility was unexpected and was trying to understand why
It’s actually pretty funny because the first comment I saw here was warning about how misogynistic the other comments are. Curious, I sorted by controversial only to find the most controversial comment is about beer hahaha
Yeah, when I made that comment no one had even mentioned misogyny or the anti-beer crowd, so I felt the need to ask why people were being weird.
Although the misogyny is clear, I still think my hypothesis about Lemmy users being socially isolated and thus less likely to have a positive relationship with alcohol is also a contributing factor.
Latent misogyny combined with active hostility to beer, yielding enough rage to cause one to make a spiteful comment on Lemmy.
Looks to me like she didn’t know what else to do in the picture so she’d take a sip then 🤔
Or they all collectively thought this was hilarious and set it up. Why would three friends line up to take a coordinated ring-shot with their friend who isn’t engaged?
they are so proud of their rings
Are they stupid? You can just buy rings at a jewellery store you don’t need to be married to wear rings. They legally cannot forbid you from buying a gold ring if your not married
Yeah how dare they be excited that someone they likely love and adore made a commitment to be with them and celebrate it with what is typically seen as one of the most monumental moments in someone’s life. Idiots.
I am legally allowed to buy wedding rings without having to get married, it is in the 1st amendment
You need first amendment there to buy wedding rings?
Looks like you are so backwards it is not even funny.
Arnt you a cheery bastard
Oh no, someone is so angry. Keep going.
No i dont think i will
She fine as hell. That dress is very flattering.
Is purple dress also “alien with no job”?
What do you mean?
the photo is tagged as such. correlation?
Basic ass privileged ass white girls collecting life events like it’s a scavenger hunt so they can win internet points.
Call people basic and look down on them all you want, but you never know what people are going through. You probably never will if you keep dismissing them out of hand for (checks notes) experiencing life events.
A good listen: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xHotXbGZiFY
What if… What if they were told this is what they should want and that’s the goal to get a ring and a man and then their life would be complete.
People can be convinced of anything.
Apparently a ring puts on 20 lbs.
Post a selfie right now and let’s critique you and your body fat. Also, dingus, one of the engaged girls is the skinniest one in the photo.
Alcoholism funny
What a take to a picture of a girl having a beer.
Sometimes it can be.
