In any event, can you be condescending inside your own head? Faye is thinking, not speaking or acting in a condescending manner.

It's as if Marten never was close to ever dating Faye if she thinks of him as a lil' guy. She's thinking that Marten is pathetic.

--- Quote from: Skewbrow on 08 Nov 2011, 04:53 ---Count me in the ranks of people who can't manage it on the dance floor. I enjoy mostly the melody/harmony side of music, but have problems with the rhythm/beat.
--- End quote ---
Yep, that's me too. I'm much more responsive to melody than to rhythm, and I cannot for the life of me "feel out" the beat of a song. My gentleman friend has recently been teaching me to dance, and now I mostly can tell the beat, if I relax, sort of... but when we started I would confound him with my utter inability. He couldn't believe at first that I really, truly, did not get what the "beat" of any song was at all, and could not pick it up. I also tend to be too stiff in my movements, so in general... not a good dancer. Heh.
I don't think I'm tone deaf exactly (I am pretty sure I can tell there's a difference between pitches if they're presented to me right after another, and the whole rising/falling bit), and I do enjoy music, but I definitely don't have an "ear" for it. For instance, even if I love a song, and it comes on the radio, all I can tell from the first few notes is that "I know this one!" but not what it is. Even if it's a song I've sung along with a thousand times. I usually need the main melody to start to figure it out. (For instance... I love David Bowie. Love, love love. I certainly know all his songs. But when the first few chords come on the radio, I consistently cannot tell if they're about to play Queen Bitch or Rebel Rebel. I know they're different. But what the chords trip in my brain is "Bowie!!" and it takes a while to settle into "which David Bowie." Major shame there.

....not necessarily. I don't know where guys get the idea that women must think of them as Infallible Manly He-Men in order to want to date them. That's true for some women, but not all. An occasional feeling of "awww, cute lil' dude" is not at all an impediment for many women. For some of us, that's even required for surface attraction to crest over to deeper affection.

Luckily there´s a song for everyone :D
I can't dance either, but if you do it in a convincing way almost nobody can tell the difference.
Near Lurker:
I don't think Marten ever was all that close to dating Faye, though. He may have thought he was at a few moments, but he really wasn't.

Um, have you never come across terms of endearment? Or use of kiddy talk between friends?
