Come on guys, I went to bed for four hours, and already we're on page 10. I can't keep up with all this :psyduck:

I honestly don't think this is true. Dora just doesn't know how to handle a healthy relationship. Think about it: if every guy she's dated before Marten really was a massive scumbag, then Dora must have needed to be very forceful in the relationship to stand on equal terms for any given amount of time. So now you have a very forceful and alert Dora paired up with the rather passive, relaxed Marten. What results is a relationship where Dora controls everything and is alert to every misstep, because she has learned to be this way to protect herself. Marten has been sitting back and letting this happen for hundreds of strips because he's the kind of guy that doesn't take drastic action until he's been pushed into a corner. I don't think Dora wants a relationship like that, it just happens to be the one they have, and Dora fails to realize it.
I guess what I'm getting at is that Dora has a http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FreudianExcuse for her actions, just as Faye did during her arc. It causes her to be so forceful with Marten, and I can say rather confidently that she wasn't looking for a doormat. It's just that her relationship tendencies matched with Marten's produced that result.

Hannersmarten would nice each other to death. While I imagine that would appeal to both of them right now... there's no place for the relationship to go w/o breaking character.
It has my heart's vote, but not my mind's ;)

Pretty much my feelings on the matter too.
--- Quote from: Josefbugman on 16 Nov 2010, 09:08 ---I heard it said quite well on another forum:
'Dora has consistently apologized for overstepping in one way and then turned around and done it somewhere else. It's like she isn't seeing the fundamental similarities between the various scenarios. She's like a little kid — "you told me not to draw on the walls with my crayons, so I drew on the refrigerator with my markers."'

that is a pretty good description of the current situation.

As for "catching" them, all I did was be my normal charming self... treat them like human beings... and in general go in looking to be a "friend" rather than Mr. Fuck-And-Chuck. You'd be surprised how well that works for "catching" teh womens.

Yeah, it wasn't the "catching" bit, more the "finding". I hardly ever meet any!
The YMCA, really? Young man, it's a place you can go, I said young man, when you're short on your dough, but chicks there, really?
But then they do say that you can stay there and they're sure you will find many ways to have a good time, so I suppose it makes sense!
--- End quote ---
Yeah... this ^ is why you fail. :-D :-P
Seriously, though. YMCA East Side Family Center. There seems to be quite a few of them around... not that I even bother LOOKING anymore because I am MARRIED and once that happens you stop LOOKING AT OTHER WOMEN FOREVER. (wife is right behind me. I can feel it.) :-o
Blyss:
wow... just wow.
Well, at the end of the day, Marten is right in this situation.
I guess Dora will have to find someone else to freak the fuck out on.
