Hops have an aphrodisiac quality? Isn't that called "beer goggles"?

lolz...my expereience of hops is the reverse..the men go to sleep...and I am all fired up...we once did a retreat and were all sipping the ale and I noticed this...and it happened more than once...not sure I like what this says about myself and the men around me
fwiw, it does make me sleepy, but none of the men i know get that way.
anyway...as with all things...YMMV.

I don't actually like beer at all. I only went to the brewery for the jazz (and, as it turned out, the men). Tried one of the craft beers but only had a few sips. That's part of what appeals to me about dancing - usually dances are alcohol-free and people have a good time without it. I'll make an exception for a summertime outdoor or beachside dance party though - bring on the piña coladas! :banana:

People who drink craft beers, single malts, and straight or on the rocks top shelf liquor are not generally there for the buzz. It gets too expensive too fast. What they are having a good time doing is sharing a taste experience with friends. And if you are knowledgeable about the drinks offered, you can get an insight into their personality based on what they drink.
Do they insist that the most expensive stuff tastes the best just because it is expensive? Are they constantly trying different beers? Do they stick within a particular range of beers? Do they stick to one obscure brew, and then grumble when it becomes popular with other people? Do they stick to the cheap stuff, but drink in moderation?

This is true...must be something strange with me though, I couldn't care less about beer, wine or gourmet food as hobbies although I meet so many people who are into it. Don't get me wrong - I appreciate a fine restaurant, I'm a good cook, and I know the difference between cheap drinks and quality ones, but it just doesn't interest me to talk about it, or really pursue it. I guess food/drink for me is just not a social experience.

I think there is also a distinct difference between people who will go there to enjoy it...and people who need to discuss it to death...I love to go to places like tat...I find people who want to assess, evaluate and discuss it to death to be total bores

Some that considers drinking or eating as a hobby, hmm, that's a bit out there for me. They are necessities of life that are worthwhile to find enjoyment in. I just meant to point out that it's a different sort of person that goes to specialized bars like that than, say, a sports bar, or a pickup joint.
I don’t know how I ended up on this thread but it’s giving me lots of social anxiety! I pat leaders on the arm sometimes as they are escorting me off the floor (arms linked) and I am thanking them for the dance and sometimes apologizing for stomping on them, haha. Am I being condescending??

Funny, I've never had a follower pat on my back or arm. Am I doing something wrong?

Patting my arm can come across as, "there, there, you didn't do all that badly". Thanking them for the dance is normal, and apologizing for stomping on them is fine, though I usually reply, "that was my fault" - since if someone gets stepped on, it's usually the fault of the person who got stepped on.

I just have an idea. There are far more followers who own and ride horses than men with this hobby (at least in my part of the world). Could it be that they subconsciously see the leader as a beast of burden? Followers (in standard) often speak disparagingly of their dance partner as an enframing.
True. They should have moved! I think I would apologize if I watched someone step on their own foot, it’s so engrained in me. :/
