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. Not that you were complaining or even said anything about that. I'm just saying, gamer girls have just as much trouble as normal girls.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure you're very attractive too, to the right man. Not everyone expects a movie star or lingerie model to fall into his arms, and not every man even wants that. There's someone out there who will fall in love with you for the qualities you have. Not just because they like your personality but also because that one guy thinks you're super-hot too. Taste in women varies a lot, there's gonna someone who thinks you're just perfect.
--- Quote from: Magdalena on 23 Mar 2012, 15:38 ---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.
--- End quote ---
Did you ever stop to think that self-identifying as a "non-attractive" gamer chick is part of the problem? If you've already made that determination, it reflects in your attitude. It's hard for someone else to find you sexy or cute if you don't believe it yourself. I did read your full post and know that you're happily married, but still this is an important theoretical point even if of no practical use to you.
If you believe you're at least reasonably attractive, that reflects in your posture, your body language and your facial expressions at the very minimum. Obviously a guy is going to make his own judgement on how attractive he thinks you are, but you can apply a large modifier (positive or negative) with your attitude and the way you interact with him.

...how the hell did I know that quote was from Earthsea?! Especially since I've only read the first book, and any quote that refers to humanity as "men" really ought to put me right off thinking of Le Guin...

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 23 Mar 2012, 13:55 ---Hannelore wants others to be well so she can use them as examples for herself.
Plus, she's compassionate.
--- End quote ---
The interesting thing with that, as well as a few other strips (the veterinarian/fireman arc, the Indiana Jones thing, the robot boyfriend thing, the horrible smile arc, the Sven date arc, the Hannelore and Marten talking about the mechanics of doing it strip), tells me that there's a long, slow arc here that will build up to Hannelore overcoming her OCD to have a satisfying relationship with someone. (Not speculating on who it'll be.) Of course, at QC's pacing, that'll take 5-10 years... :-P
Even having said that she can't consummate a relationship, she's expressed curiosity in how it all works (no bearhat guy intent here by saying that), has attempted to live vicariously through the relationships of her friends, has gotten hope from her friends getting into relationships that she may be able to, she's clearly capable of being attracted to someone physically, and has even practiced being friendly with someone who's interested in her (failed horribly, but still). Everything I'm seeing is that she knows she's not ready, so she's not making a big deal about it, but she WANTS to be ready. Oh, and she's incredibly determined to overcome her OCD, can't forget that.
Now, hopefully, no bearhat guys interpret my post as an excuse to ship Hannelore with anyone, or worse, ship her with themselves. :psyduck:

--- End quote ---
Faye didn't "grow up" in an all-woman household; by the time of her father's death, she was old enough to drive.
--- End quote ---
I know what he meant, though - Three women + one man = PUT THE #### TOILET SEAT DOWN.
Would it be too Sitcom-Dramedy-like to find out that Dad couldn't abide by always lifting the lid?...

She lived with Marten for a very long time, and while I don't recall any strips indicating a separate bathroom (one for her and one for him) - I'm going to assume that Marten was good about keeping the seat down. And speaking as a woman who does wear glasses, having had the seat left up instead of down, accidentally "falling in" actually DOES kind of hurt - especially if you weren't paying attention and say "fell in" when really tired/sleepy.
