WCDT: 2146-50 (19-23 Mar 2012) QC IN SPAAAAAACE... Week NINE?!?!?!?!?
Redball:
The folks here who see Marigold slowly becoming socialized are a lot more convincing. I wonder what Jeph will do with the story Monday. Maybe Marigold will come out of her bunk for cake and Hoopskootch (that was my wife's name for someone whose name she'd forgotten).

--- Quote from: techkid on 23 Mar 2012, 04:08 ---Her relationships with guys are pretty limited (WoW and family notwithstanding): yaoi and slash fiction (yeah, not real, but people are weird like that sometimes), that guy that used to rile her up about her WoW character (I forgot his name, my memory sucks), and recently Marten. I don't remember if there was anything that could be called "intimate" in her life, and my guess is she just doesn't know how to handle it.

She may not know how to handle it, but she's always seemed eager enough. The guy is still interested, she's being very foolish. Mind you, in any sane universe she'd plenty of options. She's a female gamer. That's a position of power in the dating world.

Since when? Marigold also has that shes a complete cutey. If all it took to get a boyfriend was being a gamer girl and having a tiny bit of confidence, I'd be crawling in guys right now. Unfortunately, you gotta be hot, too.

I kind of have to agree what's being said here. Us "non-attractive gamer chicks" know when there's a good gamer chick who's ALSO good looking in room that we're kinda pwned. I know that a lot of guys would sit up and say "Don't be silly, we'd give you all an equal chance to date us!" And that's all very true, I eventually got to get married to a fantastic guy (and he's REALLY good looking) but he also is extremely nerdy himself. But in all honesty it's a matter of being patient and finding the right person who loves you for being nerdy AND thinks you are cute/pretty.
--- Quote ---Yes, that is bitterness you see. I get sick of guys complaining about being friendzoned when the girls they want are way attractive and the girls they don't want are perfect personalities for them but not super hot.

I'll have to agree somewhat here - just look at the show "The Big Bang Theory" - Leonard is totally wolf pup in love with Penny and wants her to have his babies - he even SAYS so in the very first episode. And I'll agree that getting "friendzoned" purely for the fact that a non-attractive gamer chick is "one of the guys" as opposed to a girl like "Riley" from the webiseries "The Guild" - admit it - given the choice between someone like Clara and Riley, who will you pick? :P Also, I know Codex is the "good guy" in "The Guild" but she's pretty too, and "ackwardly cute" thus making the un-attractive gamer girls even more depressed because if you aren't "ackwardly cute" or "a pretty gamer" then you are just ...kinda... "one of the guys."

You can follow that link for instructions, or just quote this post to see what's there.
Kenyahp:
Thanks, pwhodges. I knew I had seen it somewhere but couldn't remember if it was somewhere I had posted or if it was somewhere I had lurked. Thanks so much!
So, lets try again. This is the comic aforementioned.
Magdalena- I hate that "one of the guys" bullshit. So much. I've never had it pulled on me, either, and I still hate it. So many of my friends have that happen to them. Luckily, I guess I'm just so unattractive that guys don't even bother saying "one of the guys" and just leave it at "Well. I dont feel that way."
God, maybe thats why I have such sympathy for Marigold. Shes trying her best to get some and I'm all stuck here on bitter avenue. Hahaha.
