Woman Recalls How A Man Bought Her A Drink At A Bar In The Most British Way Possible

Men have always been buying women drinks at bars. No woman would be surprised by a man coming up to her at a bar and offering to buy her a drink or two. It's very commonplace. As very ethnocentric Americans, we're definitely used to the American style of asking a woman if she wants a drink. In the UK, they're still asking women if they want drinks, but in a very different style. British Twitter user ANMalikSmith posted a tweet about how a man waiting in a long line with her at a bar bought her a pint solely because the UK won the Women's Euros. He wasn't even flirting with her. He was just being a pleasant chap at the bar. Aisha considers this a win for feminism, but we think the hilarious tweet in itself is another win for the Brits, in addition to winning the Women's Euros. The word 'innit' is in the tweet, and that's all you need to know. Scroll down for the Twitter thread.

    The British English is at such a high-level that we're not entirely sure what we just read.

    Font - Alistair Caradec @AlistairCaradec Replying to @Trashcan420691 and @ANMalikSmith The lady was in line for a beer at the local saloon, and this feller just buys her a beer, no strings attached. He just nods at the TV and says "Yeehaw! Here's to the women's soccer competition, m'lady!" And then he tipped his Stetson at her and rode off into the sunset. 3:48 AM - Aug 1, 2022.

    Font - Curiously Crypto @CryptoFarmer44 Replying to @ANMalikSmith This has happened for decades. It isn't anything new (might be for you, granted). It isn't a new dawn. It isn't a change in culture. The veil of media (mainstream and social) will give the impression good values died a long time ago. It didn't 9:45 AM - Aug 1, 2022. Twitter for iPhone

    Font - Alexis Chateau @alexischateau_ FJ Cruiser Bae Replying to @ANMalikSmith and @OpeolaBukola I was at a music festival alone in Joshua Tree and the temperature dropped wicked fast that night. Took even the locals by surprise. I was going to leave early and a guy who'd seen me earlier said no, have some hot cocoa. He bought me some, wished me well & went back to painting. 8:06 AM - Aug 1, 2022. Twitter for Android

    Font - Mike @SomethingSpikey Replying to @ANMalikSmith It must've been a pleasant experience for you, but all I can think is if that's considered a high point for feminism then we have a *really* long way to go 3:23 AM - Aug 1, 2022. Twitter Web App

    Font - Heather Cassidy @H_M_Cassidy Replying to @ANMalikSmith This is the opposite of feminism. A woman accepting a drink off a man she doesn't know. And on top of that making an issue of it. And the whole time it was in reference to you being a woman. I'm a feminist. When a man offers me a drink, I buy him one instead and walk away. 1:45 AM - Aug 1, 2022. Twitter for iPhone

    Font - NotLookingGood @andypark44 ... Replying to @ANMalikSmith At the bar in the Brentford Community Stadium. My wife bought a couple of beers for two blokes who had been travelling around the country following the tournament. Just because. A real victory for feminism (but a real blow to her wallet!) 12:15 AM - Aug 1, 2022. Twitter for iPhone
