Me too, it's a LONG way from acting surprised and insulting(joking with) a friend to homophobia....
Lately (in my own personal life, not this forum) it seems that people just want to get angry at anything...
AAAAANYWAY, great comic today, made me laugh a good while

Hey now - I may be a rake, but I'm an honest rake. The Nice Guy wants to have his cake an eat it, too, being both "harmless" and on the market, but being on the market to some women means you're a "threat" to others, and the only way to know which is to "threaten," either overtly or underhandedly. That's life.
TheEvilDog:
@Odin, there is a reason why they say Beware The Nice Ones.
Carl-E:
No.
No, no, no.
You do not need to "threaten" to be on the market. You do not need to "make a move" on someone just because "that's how it's done".
Does it work? Occasionally. Too often, in fact. Some women expect it, but are rarely happy about it. Most wind up disappointed at some level with the man who does so.
And just in case you think we're talking about nice guys, this is what's meant by Nice GuyTM
Try being genuine instead. It works.

Yeah, you've provided a great example of why I usually avoid this section.

You mean the "every person trying to find a way to be offended at every moment" thing?
Yeah, it does get to be a pain. Seriously, can't we discuss the comic WITHOUT it turning into a bunch of OH NO YOU OFFENDED MY SENSIBILITIES EXCUSE ME WHILE I GET OUT MY MILE LONG RANT to "educate" those who don't agree with me. (seriously, while I might agree with Carl-E on the opinion he is giving on the subject of homophobia itself, I find the idea that anyone who has different values than someone is just undereducated on the subject rather more offensive than almost every 'homophobic' post made. Also, yes I am a hypocrite at getting offended in my "lets not get offended" post. Its just the whole ATMOSPHERE of this board sometimes exudes this need to get offended at everything.)
