Is this strange?

Apparently ? To some people.
--- Quote from: NilsO on 03 Feb 2014, 00:23 --- I don't really get the blueballs reference, is it because Marten is not satisfied with the situation?
--- End quote ---
Steve is disappointed about Martens attitude. He wanted him to high five for hooking up. But Martens attitude changes Steves mind and he's "blueballed", i.e. disappointed, now. At least thats how I understood it. I'm not a native english speaker so the whole "blueballs" concept is rather alien to me.
--- Quote from: NilsO on 03 Feb 2014, 03:14 --- Excellent analysis!

Actually for me it sounds pretty far fetched. Marten is thinking about the situation, thats why he's looking away, and not at Steve.

It's not a pheromone, of course. It's that people in a relationship are calmer and more relaxed with the opposite sex, which is much more attractive than the tenseness that comes with sexual frustration. And the longer you are single, the worse it gets as the desperation starts to show. It's like the first time job seekers' vicious circle i.e. can't get a job without experience/can't get experience without a job.

Contrived though it may be, the blueballs reference is a callback. (HT MoM)
