Here is a short, concise answer regarding honey: Don't.

Why not?

I made a honey lager once, and did not like it.
How many mainstream German breweries add honey to their beer?

Why limit yourself to what mainstream German breweries do?

Simple answer. We brew European / German style beers, Pils, Helles, Kolsch, and Oktoberfest / Fest Bier. A Fullers London Porter is also one of our main stay brews. No desire, or need for honey here.
If it's good enough for Spaten, Paulaner and Ayinger, it's good enough for us.

There are plenty of what I call freak beers available to keep some of the ladies happy...Rooti-Tooti Fruity Beers, plus the totally whacked out IPA's that I'm seeing.

Just not my cup-of-tea...or pint-of-beer.

in all my beer obsessed life I have not found the stereotype that women like fruity/watered down/gimmicky beers to be true.

Exactly!  Untrue and offensive.

When we first got into craft beer it was my wife who talked me into trying dark beer: Terminator stout.

My experience is different than yours. The women that I know gravitate towards fad beers, grapefruit beer, cherry slush beer, etc. Just a matter of fact.
But my wife, and my friend’s wife are both dedicated Guinness drinkers, and London Porter fans.

Honey in beer?

Fuller's makes Honey Dew. Wells and Young's has Waggle dance. There would have to be others in the UK.
On a tour of Fuller's years ago the brewery yard was full of honey pails, as they were soon brewing Honey Few.

Bell's uses honey in Hopslam to boost the ABV while keeping it drinkable.

Honey is the most expensive fermentable that I know of.

imo, this is the biggest argument against using honey in beer, it costs alot and I rarely can detect alot of its character in the finished beer, it just seems to dry it out.
