Reading some of those articles, they are fairly uniform in describing the "Nice Guy" as complaining that he doesn't get what he wants out of his relationship with women; however, this clearly does not describe Marten's situation, as he and Dora had a healthy and active sex life, for instance.

Because Marten regularly complained about Dora's complete lack of any respect for him, which is just as important, but failed to realize that he did nothing to earn that respect.

Tsk tsk, selective memory FTL.

Oh, by all means, point out something Marten has done to earn anybody's respect other than simply existing as a fellow human being. Faye, the person he arguably has been the most supportive of, doesn't respect him either.
Either the things going on in the characters' lives that we don't get to see mean that Marten is generally worthless in the eyes of what are supposed to be his closest friends, or Jeph hasn't done a very good job of showing us why Marten is even friends with these people to begin with.
Mightyanvil:
Why bother, you read the comic, if you can't see the things he has done, I am certainly not going to change your mind. We get it, you don't like Marten and you are so gung ho about it that you will ignore any evidence, even when we club you over the head with it. I think I am done responding to you, you make this thread an unpleasant place to be.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to ignore people on this forum?
