--- Quote from: Kenyahp on 23 Mar 2012, 15:58 ---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.

--- End quote ---

You know, I've just got to throw this out there - a significant amount of looks and beauty has to do with clothes and makeup and working out. A certain amount of it is just genetics or how you were born or what-not, but... you'd be surprised what a makeover can do.

I knew this girl in highschool who was a gamer girl, wasn't ugly but wasn't especially attractive, etc. After highschool we didn't see each other for a year (despite the fact that she lives like a 5 minute walk from my house >_<) and the next time I saw her... wow. It was still her, only she wore makeup and did her hair nice and wore nice clothes... and it made a HUGE difference.

Plus, as someone else pointed out, identifying yourself as non-attractive doesn't help.

Kenyahp:
I guess I base age on my own. I'll be a 20 year old junior.

Also, redball- You gotta remember they moved into the apartment below Hannelore. Here it only says "bedrooms and bath", but that only means they have one bathtub/shower, correct? Because...yeah. Isnt a halfbath just a toilet?

Oh, wow. An unusual amount of people have taken what I said about gamer girls wrongly. Lets say it differently. At least, about myself. See, I think I'm pretty. I dress nicely, have nice skin that doesn't require makeup, but am overweight. Because of that, I've been bullied my whole life. I still am confident and love myself. Confident enough to willingly give speeches in front on large audiences. The thing is, I know that, to 'normal' people, I'm not attractive. And, its not for lack of trying. I literally can't lose weight. Exercised and ate a balanced diet for over a year and stayed exactly the same. That being, literally, walking two miles every day and eating correctly based on nutrition. I started taking metabolism pills and have lost some weight, but still not much. I love myself the way I am, anyways. So, that bitterness isn't from a bad view on myself. Its from literally every guy I've ever liked treating me like dirt and not being my friend anymore when they found out I liked them. My bitterness towards gamer guys is the fact that I know so many gamer girls that guys have said "well, I love your personality, but you just aren't hot enough". You don't say that to a girl. I believe everyone is beautiful in their own way. And, if you aren't attracted to someone, thats fine. You can't force it. But, I have seen and gotten too much of that to not be bitter.

For the record, I can admit that I am wrong and just being vindictive on some points. Totally. I'm just saying that its not a lack of confidence that makes me bitter, haha.

Redball:
My first wife was hot. When she left me, it occurred to me that hot was not so hot. My second wife wasn't nearly so glamorous. But she knew how to engage guys, and that was kind of hot. I met her in group therapy. She'd been seeing a shrink for a few months, worried because she felt unattractive and was unmarried at 28. He asked her how many guys she'd gone out with in her life. About 30, she guessed. He challenged her to meet 30 in a year. I was #21. With a glance, she had learned, she could get a guy to ask for her phone number in a supermarket, at a gas station. It seemed there was a lesson there, a connection between self-image and attractiveness that made appearance less important. As Marigold's probably about to begin to find out. Sure, she' a cutie. I wish she smiled more.

Redball:
The direction this thread has taken might be a little harsh: "Change your attitude and everything gets better." Aforementioned second wife was a 28-year cancer survivor until, a year ago January, just short of 40 years of marriage, she wasn't. She used to get furious with those who connected the "right attitude" with healing and curing.

Is it cold in here?:
There's a good xkcd about that.

The wiki has a floor plan of Marten and Faye's apartment, which jwhouk put together from the fragmentary views we've seen.

What if Marigold really is sleepy? She could be sedated from her dramamine patch. No, wait, that was the day before.
