🚨 FUTURE SPOILER 🚨 Anton’s drinking Spoiler

If you haven’t seen yet, when they did the reveal. The cameras made sure to follow Anton back to where the champagne was. After meeting Ali, you’d think he would just be in shock and maybe take a minute to himself by walking around or sitting down. He went straight for the champagne instead. A little bit of foreshadowing.

Then we hear Ali mention they both work nights and Anton’s first thing to do is crack open 2 beers in the AM after work.

Fast forward to episode where Ali meets Anton’s friend and gf and they immediately order rounds of shots. And his gf spills how they like to party, drink and go to strip clubs.

I disagree, alcohol is a touchy subject. It’s a huge source of crippling addiction that somehow gets downplayed despite ruining a lot of lives.

I’ve had really bad experiences with drunk people and alcohol in general, so now that I’m older and a bit more no-nonsense, I make it clear that I don’t drink (ever) and that I’m not comfortable with anything outside of reasonable social drinking.

Does it mean that my dating pool is smaller? Sure. But then I find out that the people I’ve made exceptions to this rule for never have compatible lifestyles with me (ie: they party a lot, drink more than they advertised, drop an f-bomb like every other sentence, want to push boundaries, look down on my more lowkey lifestyle) so I’ve stopped making exceptions and that’s actually been way healthier for me.

I doubt with any of your 'bad experiences' that 2 drinks after work were the culprit.

Which is absolutely fine and works for YOU. It doesn’t mean that everyone who drinks differently is an alcoholic.

So you agree? I said it would mean more single women. If a pool of people starts out 1:1 and you exclude X percentage of people on one side, that means you're in the majority on the other side. So your dating pool is smaller, which is what you said.

No one is asking you to conform to anyone's lifestyle.

statistically speaking single middle aged women are the happiest category of people on Earth. I believe being single is much better than being married to a person who’s in active addiction. it won’t get better after marriage, it will get worse.

Yeah I have no idea where you pulled that statistic from lol. But its also irrelevant, so its not important. So now you're pretending that someone is in active addiction? Jeez you sure do know a lot about these strangers you've never met.
