pwhodges:
Leaving aside other aspects of taste (!), Pintsize has explained his sense  of taste.

Is it cold in here?:
Momo's new chassis is a high end model, and joining people for dinner is more important in her market than in the military market, so if Pintsize can eat, a fortiori Momo can.

Isn't it funny how now that she's people-sized we're much less likely to call her "Momo-tan"?

DSL:
Here's hoping Momo has better luck with dinner than she did this time.

Mari's attitude about life seems akin to saying you want to be good at playing the guitar, and then not practicing, and then complaining that you're no good at playing so why bother.

--- End quote ---

The problem is though that you're making an irrelevant comparison, or at least a fairly poor one. If the only place I could practice the guitar was in front of extremely judgmental people, then yes, I'd likely decide that practicing it wasn't worth my time and also hate that I not know how to play. Remember too that most people in the group actually haven't tried interacting with Marigold either, Hannelore has and that is a fairly strong point in her favor. The problem is, though, that most of the rest of the group don't. Faye doesn't talk to her too much but that might be better as it could get awkward and Faye might end up hurting where she only means to snark. Marten doesn't really go to talk to her, Dora doesn't either. I'm just trying to say that going out and meeting people is something that is technically very easy but meeting people that you would WANT to interact with can be a tad more problematic.

To put it a slightly different way, Dale is someone from outside the group that interacted with Marigold, and as we can see the interactions have been...odd. Dale kind of bounces between funny and a bit creepy with some of what he does, maybe he has a mild crush on her and is acting a bit like Calvin did to Susie in Calvin and Hobbes but I can't be sure. If Dale is her main benchmark for meeting 'new' people I can see why she might be a bit opposed to trying to do it actively. Also, remember just a little while ago Marigold mentioned wishing that she could simply change her body the way that Momo can, to be more attractive or thinner, or whatever it is she thinks would make her more socially acceptable. Now Momo is out for less than a day, a random person runs up and befriends her and ANOTHER random person invites her on a weekend nature hike with Marten. Let's ignore Marigold worrying that she might lose Momo as a friend or be replaced as a friend. Let's just see some of it as all those voices in her head telling her how fat and ugly she is and how she'll always be alone being given a lot more credence. Add in that Momo apparently didn't even think of Marigold in the hike, even as far as a "Well maybe I should also see if my owner/tenant/whatever the applicable term is might like to come too."  Just my wooden nickle.

Elysiana:
I don't think it's irrelevant at all. If you want to play guitar but have to practice in front of judgmental people, then you either need to suck it up or quit bitching that people are judgmental. You can't sit there complaining about it. Do you want to play guitar? Then do it. Do you want to play guitar but you're scared of people being judgmental so you just don't do it? Then you must not want to play that badly.

As for the second paragraph, I already touched on some of that in a previous post.
