--- Quote from: Method of Madness on 06 Jan 2012, 01:19 ---I don't get it. Before I started wearing black sneakers, I always wore white socks. What's wrong with them?
--- End quote ---
Well they were Screamingly fashionable in 1986, not so much since.
--- End quote ---
Well I'm in big-ass trouble then; I've been wearing white socks my whole friggin life, and currently WITH black sneakers. Didn't think anything was wrong with it, except sometimes it does kinda remind me of those cultists that all killed themselves.

I only wear white socks. Fashion can kiss my ass.

Entirely, as far as I am concerned. :-)

In trying to keep from getting hurt, they're making it worse for each other.
I'd bet that Padma is going through the GLOOOOOOOM routine at work or home or wherever, just as much as Marten is.

You mean like, I dunno, ASKING A QUESTION LIKE THAT?
It might be a stereotype but blast it, lots of men don't do "signs" very well.
--- End quote ---
I guess not...
It's wrong, I know for us to do this to men...but it's like you want the guy to ask, "Why're you down?"
Of course, initially you'd say, "I don't know," (*siiiiiiiiiigh*) and if he didn't totally give up at that point, you'd spill the beans and probably say more than you meant to.

ARG to this whole quote tunnel!
ilikefishfood, can you please not use "we" when talking about people talking around a point? Women are not a monolith. Most people say "nothing" when that's a big lie at one point or another I believe - the problem lies in expecting the other person to be a mind reader/teaching them to disbelieve you and have to go through a whole rigmarole to get an answer.
I am finding this whole "Marten is missing something/should be doing something different" thing... weird. When you joke around a lot with a person you are liable to miss it when they say something serious (the "if only I'd met you a year ago" thing) and I think he responded in the only reasonable way to her saying she was feeling down. Forcing yourself on someone when they say they want to be left around may be romantic in some people's realities but I am not a fan of normalising disrespecting people's boundaries. Even if they secretly actually wanted you to do it.

I ougt not to have generalized. Ironically, I often protest generalizations about women. I guess I just got caught up in the moment. Your point is duly noted.
