Hmmm...
And here was me thinking "Fuckboy" was the 'male' version of 'Woman of loose morals' ?? (or.. you know... "Slut")
I'm not sure 'what' Waitress Girl is meaning by it in this context?

This is what I was thinking as well. I assumed that what Jeph meant was "Nice Guy" -- a guy who treats women like they owe him something for being nice and friendly, and will resent them if they "friendzone" him instead of sleeping with him.

I'm just wondering if Clinton's attraction is about to transferred to another. He seems to fall for women working behind the counter. First there was Emily and when that fell through he went to a bar and met Brun. Now that this looks like it's going nowhere he may just start following our purple haired waitress around.

Possibly...
I had the same thought, but also added in the subset of "Socially Unusual", which Emily and Brun definitely fit into...
Do mega tattoos fall into that category, though?

Clinton is utterly oblivious to this, which is par for the course being Clinton, but....
It appears to me that ms. Snarky Waitress is to some extent flirting with him. At least she's being sympathetic, complimenting him on his honesty instead of making fun of him, empathizing about 'caveman instinct' instead of ridiculing it, and considers it worthwhile to see whether or not he's got an Asshole Reaction to the 'pity/sympathy' thing. And offering somebody a milkshake, instead of just quietly observing and/or gossiping with someone *else* about him out of his earshot, means she is being pretty straightforward about personally getting his attention.
This combination of things ... I wouldn't make assumptions, as such, but if I were Clinton I'd be at least considering the possibility that she might be flirting with me. I like what I've seen of her so far and I'd at least be trying to find out more about what kind of person she is (and whether she's single). If she makes a point of volunteering the information that she's not dating anybody in the next couple of strips, there'd be no doubt.
And I don't know how Clinton measures attractive, but for me -- tall, healthy, fit, confident, snarky, got real curves -- daaaang, dat works! She reminds me a lot of the woman who became my wife. :-)

Dunno how the kids these days rate those things, but I guess "hitting on the woman who just expressed sympathy for your getting a noncommittal response to admitting your attraction to another woman" might be seen as crossing the line into fuckboy-territory?
Or maybe Ms.IwantAllTheHaircuts is blessed with the kind of healthy self-assuredness that is not troubled by doubts of being the ersatz-crush?
P.S.: Not so sure I like that term - stringing ppl. along/putting ppl. on the back burner is a real thing, and "Don't be a fuckboy" seems like a perfect excuse/front for that kind of asshattery. Feels shitty having it done to you, and feels shitty doing it to another. IMO, when you do shitty things to other folk, you should feel shitty about it & then grow up a bit and stop doing them.
