Things you're supposed to like, but don't

[c172]

That could (should?) be a new thread on A69. Hmmmmm.....

[Whateverist]

As a geeky nerd, The Big Bang Theory.  I've never watched a full episode, and what I have seen seems incredibly forced.  Also: Dr. Who.  I just can't get into it.  Also: Harry Potter.  Also: zombie anything.

As a gamer, a ton of AAA titles.  I dislike shooters in general.  CoD, Battlefield, etc.  Same with MOBAs.  Same with most online-anything.  I thought The Last of Us was an incredibly mediocre game, saved only by stellar voice acting.

Living where I do, country music.  It's like nails on a chalkboard to me.  It's either watered down rock with a southern twang, or it's actually pop, or it's the old school shit that's all slide guitar and nasal voices.  Add Lynyrd Skynyrd to the list, too.  Puke.

Coffee.  Smells bad, tastes bad, never needed caffeine to make it through a day.

Pineapples.  It's a texture thing.  Same with meat cooked rare.  Same with anything that's supposed to have a 'silky mouth feel'.  All feels like post-nasal drip to me.

So if you're going to someone's house for dinner and they ask if you have any dietary restrictions .. you say what?

I'm thinking Bud Lite and it's ilk.

Ah. Apparently it's another 4.2% beer. To compare with standard bud which is 5%

My favorite beer is 8% though.

Well, that and Guinness! Which is only 5% like bud. Although the draught version is 4.2% like bud lite.

---

P.S. it's 7%

7%? I read it it's 4.2%

And 4-5% is standard beer here. 7% is almost double strength. The beer I usually drink is 8% which is double strength beer. I read Bud Lite as being only 4.2%

Are the measurements different over there or something? Google says Bud is 5% and Bud Lite is 4.2%

Oasis, bananas, pizzas, sex with women, KFC, ecstasy, Metallica.

These are some of the things my brain refuses to accept as truth when people say they don't like them.

Heh. Even I like Wonder Wall. It's a good song.

Some Metalica songs kick ass.

Sex with women? Obviously I love that. But why would your brain refuse to accept the obvious fact that some dudes are just plain gay as fuck?

Bananas... I've always liked banana cake and I've always liked banana sandwiches and I've always liked banana pie and I've always liked banana's caramelized on toast.

But I never used to like banana milkshake and I didn't used to like just eating a banana on its own because I never used to like the texture.

Now bananas on there own. I really like them but they're like my least favorite fruit (I love all fruits)...... and banana milkshake? Well that's fucking delicious.

KFC is the bomb. Just pity there isn't one anywhere near me.

[Whateverist]

I've never et any sweet potato pie, yams, or other sweet tubers that I've cared for. But if it's yours no doubt it's delicious.  

It's got to be better than Gramma's, because that was crap with melted marshmallows on top.

I've got an edge. Secret, secret recipe. 
No one's ever turned my sweet potato pie down.

It's just not possible.

Some double entendres going on in here...

I'm told my special sauce goes down easier if I lay off the broccoli.

Watch this list!

- football, the European one. Somehow the whole country stops for a big game, while I'm there just trying to understand why is traffic crazy today in particular?... I can't understand how anyone can justify paying those kids the stupid amounts of money for playing a game... And most of the time they're not even playing it very well. I refuse to be a part of that.

- All alcoholic drinks. My tongue must be a special snowflake. Any alcohol overrides all other flavors and just tastes bad. I'm not particularly interested in ingesting things that taste bad.

---

- coffee.  Speaking of things that taste bad, there's one. To top it off, people usually have it scalding hot... Fuck no!

---

- tea. Just tastes of what I imagine dishwashing water tastes like.... Hot water with some slight flavoring of whatever the dishwasher fluid is composed... Herbs, lemon, whatever...

- milk. Just the sight of the skin on milk activates my gag reflex.

- spicy food. A minimum amount of Capsaicin just saturates my taste receptors and turns the pleasant act of eating into a nightmare.

- cars. Yes I'm a physicist and can easily understand how each part works and how the whole works. But I'll be damned if I'm going to spend time memorizing all the parts under the hood. I put gas in, turn the key - if it purrs, it's working; if not, someone needs to fix it. I do try to do all the repairs on my bicycle, though.

But, but, but .. what about for the cookie cake?  Were you just leading me on?  Where is the report button?  Pretty sure this is a banning offense around here.

Unless their house is wheelchair accessible, I can't go to someone else's house for dinner.

That's the exception to the rule.
And the cake is a cake. The coffee adds to the flavor, but it's not the flavor.

Like cheese is good, and banana is good...mix them together and you get something delicious that's neither of them!

And I've heard of a few other cakes and candies that require some liquor in them...and they just wouldn't be the same without that.

Holidays, apparently. The U.S. has tons of them.

[Joods]

People.

My rational thinking brain accepts gay men exist, but whenever I meet, converse or have any communication with a gay man there's still a part of me thinking, ok so you don't like the idea of massive, young, perky tits in your face?  While you're grabbing ass, smelling sweet perfume, with long silky female hair running through your fingers while she nibbles your neck?  That's disgusting to you?  

It maybe insane but this thought actually applies to straight women aswell but maybe to a lesser extent.  I understand they like men, but part of me still thinks to ask, have you tried women?  Not that I can't rationalize that people have sexualities other than my own, it's just probably impossible for me to feel the same way they do therefore I'll never fully understand it.

[Edwardo Piet]

A lot of women are bi, of course.

What about full-on pure 100% lesbians who don't even like a little bit of cock? Would you be like "Have you tried men?"
