--- Quote from: KOK on 27 Jan 2014, 21:59 ---Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. There seems to be an agreement here that Marten should be more active and not always wait for the woman to take the initiative. But when he does take the initiative, he is a douche, or at least awkward, and should be aware that a woman will usually give some kind of signal if she would welcome an advance.

Welcome to the internet, where we're all hypocritical bastards.

I don't really pay attention to this forum much and I'm sure it's been discussed elsewhere, but this guy is going absolutely nowhere in his life. When you strip out all the funny from the comic, it's depressing.

It's entirely possible her comeback to his Buddha joke flicked the switch in his head. I know that's happened to me at least a few times.

Ditto, and ditto. I think, though, the purely aesthetic concerns become less important the more time you spend with someone... if you let the rest of their qualities shine through.

--- Quote from: Gareth on 27 Jan 2014, 11:18 ---Yeah in fairness this is not the kind of move that a guy like Marten should be going for.
--- End quote ---
I think it might be because it came from a guy like Marten that it worked.
From a smooth, confident guy, a line like that is overly forward and usually kinda gross. But from an awkward-but-sweet guy who's clearly not a player, it could be endearing. It doesn't come across as tacky and crude, but as a really clumsy expression of attraction from a nice guy who's not quite sure how to express attraction but means well.

You have a point, but I think that only really applies if you consider smoothness/confidence to be the same as being 'smooth'/over-confident. I'm very confident (wouldn't call myself 'smooth' because I just can't imagine that being a good thing) and similar lines to the one Marten used have worked for me before.
Although I hate to call them 'lines.' 'Lines' shouldn't work. Every woman is different, after all.
But yeah I can see what you mean about how if it was in a bashful kind of 'aw shucks I can't talk to women' kind of way it could work.
And you anti-armpit hair/leg hair guys... pfffft if a girl turns you on enough that shit is irrelevant.

--- End quote ---
It looks desperate because they are older. If they were 16, this would be 'cute'.
Strange how age somehow affects that view.
--- End quote ---
Why desperate? What's wrong with two people just wanting to "get laid" if they're both attracted to each other and ok with casual sex? :?
