I thought discussion of private parts was strictly off limits? Or is this just applicable to Claire? :evil:
Also, I feel really sorry for Emily. Marten and Claire are evil if they try to set her up with Clinton. Emily is a nice person, Clinton is not.

I don't think Clinton is a bad person. He usually means well and I think he really cannot see how some of his actions might be perceived as being wrong (case in point: the picture he took of Hanners). He does care about Claire, too, even if he sometimes (all the times) goes a little overboard.
He's kind of a dick, but he means well and I think "being a dick" is beyond his control, for the moment. I'd say he's a better person than what Sven used to be, for example.
Of course, a possible situation between Clinton and Emily means character development for him, which I don't think we really got much of.
--- Quote from: Cattus on 09 Dec 2014, 11:25 ---I think that Marten is really liking this relationship for a number of reasons:
1 - He's more experienced with relationships than Claire is and therefore isn't uncomfortable around her. For a change he can be more of the relationship "alpha". But even with that being said, their relationship can be totally new ground for them both and that's fun and exciting.
2 - She is more "feminine" than his other relationships (I realize that may be strange given her original gender but it just goes to show how that can be.)
3 - She won't beat him into the ground if he innocently messes something up.
4 - She's sooooo nice.
I must say that whether Jeph initially realized or not, the 'Claireten' thing in QC has potential to be complex, innovative and fun for us 'observers'.

I said before and I repeat: Claire is Marten's first relationship (that we know of) that starts in a healthy, drama-free situation. Nothing like Faye (oh god), Dora and Padma. I look forward to seeing those two develop their relationship for a long while, hopefully longer than Marten-Dora was a thing.

He's also got a massive entitlement complex, he's so protective of Claire that he's almost stifling (trying to take the role of the traditional father who locks a daughter away from potential suitors), and he has no understanding of boundaries.

She did have the post-break up hangover.

But even though Marten has mentally reclassified her as single, he wouldn't try to set her up on a date, she and Angus split just the day before (in QC time).

Fair enough. He clearly needs to work through a lot of issues. Doesn't mean he's a fundamentally bad person, though.
Rghfrgl:
On the subject of Clinton being a overprotective jerk, I wonder if that's his motivation here, rather than meeting a girl(Well, primarily, since I'm sure he wouldn't mind that). Spend the day with Marten and scope him out.
