--- Quote from: Shootz on 12 Feb 2014, 23:54 ---Heh, well at least now I understand why it's surprising to you why so many forum members made mention of Delilah's body hair. I think we must just live in different places because where I'm from a girl who let's her body hair grow would universally be considered unconventional.

Now I feel really old. When I was younger, female body hair shaving (at least on other places than the legs) was definitively considered kinky.

--- Quote from: Shootz on 12 Feb 2014, 22:22 ---I have to say I was really looking forward to something more slow paced, an awkward but cute love story between two people experiencing intimacy for the first time. An arc about the two of them feeling things they've never felt before, wanting to do things they've never done before etc. could have been very sweet. Both of them freaking out about seeing each other naked and what not.
This comic has dealt with all kinds of unconventional things like trans-sexuality, bisexuality, bdsm, one night stands with girls who don't shave, inter-racial relationships etc. and that's great but I really don't think Jeph needs to be constantly pushing the envelope so to speak. It would've been cool to see something a bit more cliched and relateable for a change of pace.

I get wanting a cute story out of Marigold and Dale but I don't get how a romantic-awkward subplot is more relateable (on a large scale, I understand this may not be your personal experience) or likely than two adults who are attracted to each other and beginning to date and over the conventional age for virgins wanting to just go have sex.
Method of Madness: She wasn't exactly herself the night before.

Yeah you might be right about my personal experiences differing from the greater population. I just really liked the idea of an 'awkward first time' story playing out between these two love birds.

Maybe she read something on WikiHow.

Let's hope it wasn't the Cosmopolitan.

--- Quote from: themacnut on 12 Feb 2014, 23:04 ---Exactly the point I was trying to make with my earlier posts about why Dale's actions could be considered creepy under different circumstances. Fortunately for him, Marigold did not consider his actions creepy, hence his apparently getting laid. But if she were less attracted to him and/or more paranoid about her safety or believed that all men are predators, things could have ended very differently for Dale.

Yeah, maybe if they didn't know they each liked each other and hadn't totally made out for a few comics that could have been creepy, but they did, and it wasn't.
I seriously don't see how Dale staying behind to make pancakes is a big deal, are all men seen as potential rapists or something?
