Ask And Ye Shall Receive: 'The Man Date'

We were testing you, really, by making you wait until 3:30 to address the latest from Times reporter-laureate Jennifer 8. Lee, in which she discovers that two straight men can indeed be friends! Just follow the simple rules of man-dating:
Almost all men agree that beer and hard alcohol are acceptable man date beverages, but wine is risky. And sharing a bottle is out of the question. "If a guy wants to get a glass of wine, that's O.K.," said Rob Discher, 24, who moved to Washington from Dallas and has dinner regularly with his male roommate. "But there is something kind of odd about splitting a bottle of wine with a guy."
A stretch, sure, but there is something kind of weird about two guys and shiny, smooth, rock-hard wine bottle. Amyl nitrate, sure, no problem. But wine? That's fucking gay.
