Man, she is one confusing lady!

They all are.   :-D   My wife in the course of a day has pointed out other lookers to me, then ripped me a new one several hours later for... well... looking.   :?

Ah well.    :-)

Man ... every time I post here, I feel like people misinterpret what I'm trying to say, even though I always proofread it -- sometimes as many as five times before posting. And it's literally only this forum. And it's never the same person twice. The problem must be me, but I can't even figure it OUT. It's maddening because I love this comic and I want to post here, but it's like I'm speaking another language. Does anyone else here feel this way?

Ugh, anyway, I definitely wasn't trying to say that all men are emotionless walls who don't want to listen to their significant others talk about their feelings. Speaking as a lady with low self-esteem (though, apparently not as low as Dora's), I've specifically told my super-hot and super-popular-with-ladies boyfriend to simply NOT tell me when other women hit on him. I just don't want to know, because it makes me paranoid. If he WERE bringing it up all the time, I'd probably be a lot more inclined to think, "Gosh, must be a sign that he's interested in playing the field." I'd be more upset that he made a point of TELLING me "Hey so a girl at the library asked me out today ... I mean I said no ... I just thought I'd let you know." I'd be like, "Uh, wtf, why are you bothering to mention this?"
I can't think of any possible reason why Dora would be MAD at Marten for saying "Nothing interesting happened today." Nothing interesting DID happen. Marten is surrounded by beautiful women. Some of them think he's cute, too. Tra la la. Normal day for Marten. Normal day for ANY cute boy.
Anyway, the entire Raven conversation strikes me as a completely ... crazy conversation to even BEGIN. It's like she's setting a trap for Marten and seeing if he'll fall into it. And then he does. And then ... she ... says she doesn't care? Which again doesn't make sense, if she IS "the jealous type." BAh. ::head explodes:: I guess it's like, "well, at least he was honest!" But I didn't consider him to be DISHONEST before, so ... that doesn't ... make sense ANYWAY.

I didn't reallllllllly want to bring this argument up again. A lot of people locked antlers about this when the original arc actually happened. But I guess I may as well post this probably-badly-phrased comment anyway and watch more people rip it apart. ::sigh:: Oh, internet. I r doin it wrong.

nimnix:
I actually had a problem with Dora thinking it was "noteworthy" that a girl would hit on her boyfriend.  What, did he stop being a catch when she got him?  Does she actually believe it's so rare that other girls would find him attractive?

Most, especially the emo/indie/hardcore group, seem to be the most emotionally in touch. Seems to me like Dora just has some self esteem issues when it comes to girls liking Marten. Makes sense to me because of everything with Faye. However, the whole "girl asking Marten out" thing was a big deal because he didn't tell her not because the fact that other girls like him.

Her reaction was already unreasonably negative before the point at which he would reasonably have had an opportunity to tell her on the assumption that it wasn't at the front of his mind. It was at the front of her mind, therefore it's somewhat understandable that she'd assume (but not a reasonable assumption) he'd think of it right away when she asked the vague question "how was your day? anything interesting happen?". I just looked back to verify the wording and it's worse than I thought - her arms were already crossed [hostile gesture] when she asked 'anything interesting happen?'

Her reaction to the girl herself was out of line too - all she'd done was ask him out, and he wasn't wearing a ring so how was she supposed to know. She hadn't done ANYTHING wrong, even if you accept the theory that Marten had.

girls like to be crazy and mysterious because then it makes them interesting
