Re: "Does this dress make me look fat?"
I think we can all agree that there's at least one wrong answer: "It's not the dress."

"Hey, I don't like you, but I slept with that guy you confessed your secret to and who advised you to confess your feelings to me. Haha!" Then again, I don't think much of her anyway so whatever.

I don't think there's any reason to bring Elliot into this. It's between Marten and Padma. On the other hand, I have no idea why anyone would act as if he's either going to get "lucky" or he's NOT going to get "lucky" due to some ill-fated intervention. (Or because Jeph likes toying with him.) They barely know each other. They have only participated in a few activities outside of her work environment. None of these have even been official dates. We have no idea what she is thinking, and she has shown no clear signs of liking Marten in that way. (I'm not saying that she doesn't, but right now it is all speculation.) Not to mention the fact that she is moving. So why on earth would anyone be pushing for them to have sex? Luckily, Marten does not have that attitude. I think he would be happy just having a special moment with someone he likes. I do hope he gets that, even though I really don't like Padma.
Soulsynger:
Is it just me or is anyone else seeing something - for lack of a better word - "romantic" in that look Marten and Padma exchange in Panel 1? (Or is she looking past Marten to where speech is happening? I'm not sure.)

Secret wine.......lemme guess, Faye has a huge glass bottle in her closet with fermented dollar store grape juice and bakers yeast in it with a retort?

Count the postings in this thread complaining about women. Then count the posts in which there are "all those women complaining" about men. Oh wait, there's only my single posting. The "normality" of this complaining seems rather skewed, don't you think?

Hee hee... :-D On the contrary, it is a question you don't need to answer!

Well, please keep in mind the conditions under which the dialogue you are referring in this forum is occurring. This is a place where a male might possibly be able to vent frustration at seemingly illogical/arbitrary expectations for communication with the opposite gender - without facing undue castigation for daring to be anything other than a confident alpha male; like they would if they expressed the same frustration in a face to face encounter. Also, demographics bias or something. It's possible there might just be a lot of male readers of this comic, who knows?
Many men have to live with the fear of screwing up communication with a woman and not getting to even express it in any manner considered socially acceptable [for a male] in "real life" on a constant basis; so there can be quite an outpouring when they are finally in a situation where consequence is far more lenient; after all, one can just make another forum account.
Also, more big words to make me feel smarterer. :roll:
So I'll use the oft referred to example: You could be with one of the sweetest, most wonderful women you've ever been with.....who also happens to be 5'0" and 300 lbs, and she'll still ask that damned question, which forces a man to either lie, evade, or hurt her feelings. Yes, we can understand the intent of the question, but the execution is borderline sadistic. That's what is so frustrating to so many of us- there are far better ways to get the desired results from us without doing that.
