--- Quote from: LittleKing on 28 Jan 2014, 05:54 ---It's a hook-up at a party, don't you think it's too early to be talking of expectations, wondering where it's going, etc? There's nothing wrong with having some "naughty" fun with someone you've just met when you're both up for it and consenting adults. If it feels good just go for it. You can figure out later if you're actually compatible and interested in having a serious relationship, but none of that matters right now.
Marten's taking initiative, being more assertive and letting go of himself a little and Delilah seems to be a free spirited and open minded girl, I see this arc as a really positive and much needed development for our main character. Whether it results in a serious relationship or not is irrelevant at this point (imo).

Agreed. I still think the "you can pay me back with makeouts" line was way too lame, but apparently it worked this time (or Delilah decided a pity fuck was appropriate, both for her own enjoyment and a way to "educate" a nice boy she just met). But I seriously doubt she is interested in any long term relationship.
Now, as for tomorrow, let us see some more hair!

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.

Heh. I was doing some showerthink about this a couple hours ago. I think Marten has become somewhat of a scapegoat for people to look upon and criticize so they can feel better about themselves. Even Dora and Faye alluded to that in one comic, and I remember it setting the forums ablaze (I was also pretty annoyed).
I'm starting to think Marten's "awkwardness" is overblown, because people like looking at him and going "ha ha! Look at this guy lol! At least I'm not that bad at socializing!"
So he finally takes a risk and makes a move on a lady, and he's ZOMG SO AWKWARD. Why are we criticizing somebody for making an effort? What did you expect from somebody with such little experience? Better to make an effort to learn and do the mandatory face-falling so you can actually improve. After all - sucking at something is the first step to becoming sorta good at something. If he'd just gone home without trying to hit on anybody, we wouldn't hear the end of that on here, either.
As to being chill and somewhat passive...why is that such a bad thing? It's one thing to never take risks and never assert yourself (which just may be Marten's case), but sometimes lying back and letting things happen is a good idea. Que sera, sera.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this.
But for Martin in general, fortune favors the bold.

Too much hair phobia in this forum. Although Marten has on a previous occasion expressed his anti-hair stance. Time to wake up. Body hair is natural. Let us make 2014 the year of the bush!

Sorry my eyes just rolled so hard they fell out of my head, could you pick them up for me?
