But what I'm talking about is a general attitude that I find common among men with ANY hobby, which is that their women are into opposition to it to a point that seems unreasonable of anyone who should be understanding.
I'm not sure what's more sexist - the fact that you are assuming that these men have married women who don't like beer
that you are assuming that by far most of these brewers are, in fact, men,
OR that you are extending your knowledge of your friend's wife to all other women, thereby stereotyping all women as being shrewish, unsupportive harpies, like this "one girl you know".
You need to find some less spineless friends.
Really, any guy who marries a chick like that, in my experience, is extremely superficial and views her appearance and upkeep as maximally important. Just don't marry someone for whom vanity is important! End of story.
It's not our fault that some men choose crappy wives.
When wives and girlfriends complain about their mans hobby, it usually means that the man pays too much attention to the hobby, only talks about the hobby, and is basically obsessed to the point where he doesn't take an interest in anything the woman has to say.
I think too many people buy into this force-fed "men are from mars, women are from venus" bull**** and think guys should like steaks and sports and women should like shopping and vanity.
And why are you taking my rant personally that you feel you need to personally defend yourself and claim it's not your fault?
no one is falling into this stereotype more than your buds
And personally I find your use of SWMBO much more offensive, because you don't appear to mean it as a joke.
can't help you out bud, my wife starts bitching as soon as the keg runs dry.
This thread is borderline amusing.

You need to learn to read. Go back and look at the OP.
I never said these were my friends...
...I just spent a few hours drinking at a buddy's house, and his lady couldn't stop putting beer down...
I repeat, I'm not talking about my friends.

It is tough to argue that you need a SS conical more than a nice date out alone.

I'm going to just leave this one to die because you guys are taking my responses to one post and applying them to another. I can't go through and respond to all of that.
I wish there as an Anti-Prost button sometimes
Go to the toolbar at the top of the thread and look for "Rate Thread". Give the thread one star, which means it's a terrible thread. I've done it before.
My wife simply does not like the taste of beer (other than a Bavarian hefeweizen). She does not disapprove of me brewing, in fact, she encourages me to do it because she knows how much I enjoy it.
I think beer is mainly "a guy's thing" and, of course, there are many exceptions. There are quite a few female brewers here at HBT and they are just as knowledgeable as the male brewers. I'm just saying, in general terms, guys like beer more than girls like beer.
