That's kind of the thing, he had no real reason to be bitter in those early comics. Marten's angry drunk rambling expresses it as anger over not being enough of an asshole to attract women (which comes pretty close to the term we're not allowed to use here), while you offer a substitute that really isn't any better because the end result still puts Marten in the same situation (because he was still being a jerk).
It would be nice to have a few comics where Marten isn't so damn passive in his interest in a woman while still being a genuinely decent guy, but it hasn't happened yet.

A Marten that isn't passive in his interest for women yet still genuinely a decent guy. Reminds me of Angus to be honest...

That and he'd need more witty banter in his arsenal.

What he lacks in witty banter he makes up in musical facts ^_^ haha.

I wonder if he'll ever run into a girl who loves music as much as he does. Hm.

That's kind of the thing, he had no real reason to be bitter in those early comics and yet, he was (griping about it every time somebody brought it up, check the facial expression in the comic wrwight linked).

But how does being passionate or less passive about something equal being a jerk?
Faye Whitaker:
Well he had the music theme going for awhile with Faye but we all know how that ended.

I was talking about his line of complaining in the drunk asshole comic.
As in, if he'd said "I'm just not aggressive enough, so how about I be aggressive now and--" when he got knocked out, he'd have still been a jerk.
