Black Sword:
I got into a massive argument with Akima over the whole Indian thing back when Padma first appeared, so I'll strive not to get into it again. 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.
Also, I forgot to mention that I agree with Akima and snubnose that Elliott will do our wimpy protagonist no harm.

There is no situation where you can't drag in that comic to prop up your own prejudices, is there?

I was thinking the same thing myself...

--- End quote ---
Because we all have no lives, thats why.
Sorflakne:
I don't over-analyze QC. But then again, I do over-analyze things in real life too much.
--- Quote ---...agreed with Veronica that Farten would have been a terrible couple. It's probably just a blow to the ol' self-esteem.

Am I the only one who giggled uncontrollably at this?

"A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts."
There's no situation where people don't reference Marten saying he's ok with them dating either while lying in bed, however, I've had the same moments after a breakup where I feel like I'm completely over it and the next day upset all over again. So I'm not buying it. In my experience though alcohol is a truth serum for the majority of people. Marten didn't just make up those thoughts, they were always there and when uninhibited he let them out.
Remember this, there will be a day when Marten and Faye are both single and Marten will try again. He'd try now if she was, but she isn't.
Akima:
--- Quote from: Mr_Rose on 26 Sep 2011, 16:12 ---As for Padma, the fact that she wants/is prepared to move across the country would seem to indicate that she has her own ideas on the topic; the sort of tight-knit groups that discourage relationships outside of the group tend to be geographically small and also tend to discourage moving hundreds or thousands of miles away.

Well, Padma obviously moved to Northampton before we met her, but her forthcoming move is going back home to her family.

It isn't easy to develop good relationships for anyone, in any circumstances, but cross-cultural relationships do add another layer of difficulty to overcome, I think. And in my observation, any "tentacle" pull (tentacle? :roll: ) is at least fully matched by the rejecting "push" from outside "these groups".
