> [@Khadaji](#): > > You left out: I don’t drink coffee. So should I post in the “Women, Do you shave your legs” poll saying "You left out people who aren’t women. > [@HeyHomie](#): > > I like my coffee like I like my women: hot and strong and really sweet! So, according to that analogy, I like my women dark, strong, and bitter. ETA: And liable to keep me up all night. ---

Depends on my mood. Usually strong, black, and bitter. But sometimes not. ---

> [@Lobsang](#): > > So, according to that analogy, I like my women dark, strong, and bitter. > > ETA: And liable to keep me up all night. If circumstances were different, we might be a good match based on beverage preferences.\* I generally compare my coffee, jokingly, to my soul: dark and bitter. I also think that it should be strong enough to dissolve spoons, but my soul has yet to dissolve any flatware. \*Which is really the best way to pair people up, right? ---

> [@nashiitashii](#): > > I guess that means I like my men strong, creamy and bitter. Oh dear… :eek: Which is a little more PC than the way I used to hear it. Anyway, I don’t drink it very often, but when I do, I like a little coffee with my cream and sugar. ---

Man, i could have gone three ways on this. I make my coffee strong. I use good coffee, and drink it plain, but if I’m served cheap coffee, I’ll throw in some sweetener – a lot of it, actually, as cheap coffee needs to be syrup-sweet before I’ll drink it. ---

Strong and black, one a day, first thing in the morning. Extrapolate from that what you will. ---

When I am out and it’s a decent coffee shop it’s double espresso with two spoons of sugar. At home weaker coffee with milk and sugar. Don’t ask me why. ---
