Relationship status

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 only date married chicks, they’re cheaper.
- 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.
- Hehe i drink beer im so fun hoho
  
  More that they’re willing to pose like this for the picture

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.
- Damn well done dude I think you're right
- 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 🤓

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.

Purple? Did you misspell lavender?
- That's definitely black!
  
  Is her name Yanny or Laurel?
  
  Gold, you fucking savages!
- 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.
  
  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.
- 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
- 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.

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.

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?

- 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

- TIL 1 beer == alcoholism

Hah if you’re not married you should drink about it haha just self medicate your frustrations with destructive forms of addictive substances 🤪
- Yikes
  
  Metaphors, like sarcasm simply go over some people's heads.
- How you can tell someone's an alcoholic when they don't even drink. Don't ever try it if that's your brain's default setting toward it.
  
  Huh? When did I say anything about alcoholics? I was just calling out the narrative and the push that drinking because you’re single is normal or somehow a healthy behavior. Wasn’t supposed to be this deep, just a callout on behavior which can very quickly spiral out of control. 1 in 12 men and 1 in 25 women have an alcohol problem in the us.
  Idk I’ve been recently trying to live a more healthy and sober life (despite not having issues with substances in the past) and honestly just feel disconnected with the obsession of drinking. Didn’t mean to offend or anything
