Honestly, I think I agree with Elliott to an extent. You can usually tell if someone likes you in that way, unless you're fairly thick. If you haven't gotten a hint by now, it ain't happening. You're so deep in the friendzone that the infinite time dilation of the event horizon of a black hole is easier to escape from.

--- Quote from: Black Sword on 26 Sep 2011, 19:10 ---For now, speaking from experience, I corroborate the difficulty of outsiders enjoying healthy relationships with members of these groups, as the constant tentacle to pull back those who try to deviate from the accepted can be too much to overcome.

If a potential boyfriend from outside my ancestral culture used the generally perjorative (unless you're talking about a squid or something) word "tentacle" to describe its influence over me, I would certainly regard him as rejecting rather than accepting it. As I said, the "push away" is at least as strong as the "pull in".
Edit: I was unnecessarily confrontational in tone. Fixed.

It'd be troubling if you suddenly were not confrontational. I'd probably take it as a sign of the coming of the body snatchers.
RE perjorative: If your automatic reaction to a choice of words is to put it through a filter about whether or not it's "offensive" rather than "descriptive" or "evocative," you really need to turn off the Politically Correct Decision Matrix.

Sir, that may actually be the best possible ship that could come of this. Why didn't I [removed by moderator -- forum rules]?

...because you want to stay on the forums?

It's Kubrick all the way down...

Then I'd hate to see when it gets to The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut.
DSL:
How about Barry Lyndon? Lolita? (That'd get some of the creepier shippers going) Dr. Strangelove?
